Pattern:

Note:

1. The case was made for a smartphone that measures 150 mm x 76 mm x 8.6 mm.
2. We crochet around, from the bottom to the top, every Round we join with sl st and every Round (except for the Round 1) starts with 1 ch which are not counted as a st!
3. We make a small hole for a button to be able to switch on the phone in the case and a bigger window for seeing the watch

Blue yarn: 17 ch
Round 1: 3 sc in the second from the hook st, sc in next 12 st, 3 sc in the next st, sc in next 12 st (28)
Round 2: dc in all st (30)
Round 3, beige yarn: (sc, skip 2 st, shell in next st, skip 2 st) X 5 (30)
Round 4, brown yarn: sc in all st (30)
Round 5, blue yarn: 2 ch, 2 dc in the same st, (shell in the st between two next shells of the previous round, sc in the central dc of the next shell of the previous round) X 4, 3 dc in the first st of the round, join with sl st (30)

Round 6, brown yarn: sc in all st, Note: in the sc of the previous round insert the hook in the st of the round before. This way the bround yarn will cover the sapce between the shells (30)

Round 7, beige yarn: sc in the same st (shell in the st between two next shells of the previous round, sc in the central dc of the next shell of the previous round) X 5, join the round with sl st (30)

Round 8, brown yarn: sc in all st, Note: in the sc of the previous round insert the hook in the st of the round before. This way the bround yarn will cover the sapce between the shells (30)

Rounds 9-16: repeat Rounds 5-8 after each other (30)

Note: if you do not need spaces for the on button and for the watch, keep crocheting until the wished size is reached. Otherwise follow further instructions:

Round 17, blue yarn: 2 ch, 2 dc in the same st, (shell in the st between two next shells of the previous round, sc in the central dc of the next shell of the previous round) X 4, 3 dc in the last st, change to brown yarn, 1 ch, turn (30) – here will be a space for the phone on button.

Round 18: crochet in the other direction: repeat the Round 6, do not join the Round. Change to beige yarn, 2 ch, turn (30)

Round 19, (shell in the st between two next shells of the previous round, sc in the central dc of the next shell of the previous round) X 5, join the round with sl st (30)

Fasten off.

Round 21, blue: Insert the hook in 11th st of the round (space between 2nd and 3rd shells) and crochet 4 more shells and following sc’s, change to brown yarn, 1 ch, turn (20)
