Crochet Minion Phone Cover
Materials Required:
- H-sized crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Pair of scissors
- Red Heart With Love yarn in colors:
- Bluebell (Blue)
- A yellow color
- Gray
- Small amounts of black and white for details
Instructions:
Base of the Cover:
Start with Blue Yarn:
- Create a slip knot, leaving a small tail. Chain enough stitches to cover the width of your phone. For instance, if 8 chains cover the width, start with that.
Foundation Row:
- After reaching the desired width, chain one more stitch, then single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Single crochet in each chain across the foundation chain row. In the last stitch, place three single crochets to turn the corner.
Continue the First Row:
- Turn your work to crochet along the other side of the foundation chain. Single crochet into each stitch across. In the final stitch where the initial two single crochets were made, add one more single crochet to have three single crochets in that end as well.
Join and Extend:
- Slip stitch to join the end of the row to the beginning. Chain one, then single crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join once you've completed the round.
Check Stitch Count:
- Ensure you have 18 single crochets around. This count will help maintain an even crochet fabric for your cover.
Continue Crocheting:
- Keep adding rounds of single crochet until you reach approximately halfway up your phone.
Transition to Yellow Yarn:
- Fasten off the blue yarn and attach yellow yarn in the last stitch you made with blue.
Continue with Yellow:
- Chain one and make one single crochet in each stitch around. Keep adding rounds until the cover reaches the top of your cell phone.
Making the Goggle Strap and Suspenders:
Goggle Strap with Black Yarn:
- Decide where you'd like the goggle strap to go. Using the black yarn, insert your hook beneath both loops of the chosen stitch on the cover, yarn over, and draw up a loop, then slip stitch loosely across the chosen row.
Suspenders:
- Decide on the placement for the suspenders, which can vary in space as desired. Using black yarn again, slip stitch vertically to create each suspender, ensuring to weave in ends neatly.
The Eye and Facial Details:
Eye:
- Use black yarn to make a magic ring, single crochet 5 stitches into the ring. Close the ring and change to white yarn.
With White Yarn:
- In each black stitch, make two half double crochets (10 half double crochets in total). Fasten off and change to gray yarn.
With Gray Yarn:
Round 1:
- Chain one, then single crochet two in the first stitch. Continue with one single crochet in the next two stitches, then two single crochets in the following stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch to join.
Assembling the Eye:
- Sew the eye onto the cover where you'd like the goggle strap to intersect it.
Mouth and Final Touches:
- You can create a smile by weaving a piece of yarn into a smile shape and securing it beneath the eye. Add any additional embellishments as desired.
Completion:
- Double check all elements are securely attached. Your minion cell phone cover is now ready!
