This week I would like to share a free crochet pattern for a crochet phone case Olivia. It is an easy project and it won’t take much time. For my phone case I used only one color, but you could try to mix things up and make in two or several colors. The cluster stitch looks great when you change yarn color every second round.
I have also made another pattern for a phone case, you can find it here.
Good luck!

Notes
The size of crochet phone case is 7.5 x 13.0 cm. You will be working in rounds. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make the case. For this project I use the cluster stitch, which is a repeat of two rounds and consists only of chains, single crochets and cluster stitches (double crochets three together).
Pattern
Start by chaining until you reach the length that would be equal to the width of your phone. I chained 20. It does not matter, if it is an even or an odd number of stitches. You will work around the chain, therefore the total number of stitches in the first round will end up being an even number in both cases.
Round 1: To make the first round, you will be working down the chain, then turn and work on the other side of the chain. Make sc in every st of the chain starting from the second chain from your hook. Turn. 1 sc in the end of the chain, make sc in every st (starting with the one you have just worked into; now that st has 3 sc in total) until you come back to the beginning of the chain. 1 sc in the end of the chain. Join with a sl st to the first sc of this round. In total you should have 40 st.
Round 2: ch 2, skip one st, *make a sc-blo, ch 1, skip one st*, rep ** until the end of the round, join with a sl st to the ch 2 that you made in the beginning of this round (to the first ch).
Round 3: ch 3, make a dc3tog in the chain one space of the prev round, *ch 1, dc3tog in the next chain one space of the prev round*, rep ** until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the chain 3 that you made in the beginning of this round.
Round 4: ch 2, skip one st, *make a sc in the space between two dc3tog of the prev round, ch 1*, rep ** until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the chain 2 that you made in the beginning of this round (to the first ch).
Round 5-26: repeat rounds 3 and 4.
Fasten off.
