What Is Being Made

The pattern covers two distinct gadget accessories designed to protect everyday devices in style:

• A Phone Case – a compact crocheted cover sized to fit a standard smartphone.
• A Tablet Case – a larger version of the same design, scaled up to accommodate a tablet device.

Both cases are worked in a simple rectangular construction and finished with decorative embellishments, including a small flower motif and leaves, which are sewn on after assembly. Button loops are also incorporated into the design to provide a practical closure, with the length of the loop adjusted to suit the size and placement of the chosen button.

Design Details: Blue Phone Case

The phone case is worked using shade 2119 Egg Blue from the King Cole Vogue DK range. The yarn is held double (two strands together) throughout, which gives the fabric extra body and structure — an important quality for a gadget case that needs to offer a degree of protection. The case is worked back and forth in rows, beginning with a foundation chain of 15 chains, and the body is built up using treble crochet stitches across multiple rows.

• Foundation: Chain 15, then work treble crochet back into the foundation chain from the 4th chain from the hook.
• Row 1: Produces 13 treble crochets (including the starting chains which count as one treble).
• Rows 2–15: One treble crochet in each stitch to the end, producing 12 treble crochets per row, repeated to build the length of the case.
• Assembly: The finished rectangle is folded with the bottom edge meeting the top edge, and the side seams are sewn together using the long yarn tail left after fastening off.

Design Details: Blue Tablet Case

The tablet case follows the same construction method as the phone case but is worked on a wider foundation chain to accommodate the larger dimensions of a tablet. It is also worked in Egg Blue King Cole Vogue DK, held double, using a 4mm crochet hook.

• Foundation: Chain 32, then work treble crochet back into the foundation chain from the 4th chain from the hook.
• The wider chain produces a broader fabric panel, which is then folded and seamed in the same way as the phone case.

Decorative Embellishments: Small Flower Motif

Both gadget cases are finished with a charming small flower motif and accompanying leaves, which are made separately and then attached to the front of the case using the photography in the pattern as a placement guide. The flower is a delightful five-petal design worked in the round.

• Hook: 3.5mm crochet hook.
• Construction: Begin with a slip knot, chain 5, and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
• Round 1: Work five chain-5 loops into the ring by repeating 5 chain, slip stitch into ring five times, producing 5 loops in total.
• Round 2: Work the petals by slip stitching into each chain loop, then working 3 chain and 3 treble crochets into each loop before slip stitching to close — this creates five rounded petals.
• Fasten off, leaving a long tail to sew the flower securely onto the gadget case.
