Phone Tablet Book Stand

Phone Tablet Book Stand by Nicole Riley

What Is Being Made

This crochet pattern creates a functional Phone Tablet Book Stand designed to hold and display phones, tablets, or books at an angled position. The finished stand measures 9 x 11.5 x 7.5 inches, making it a compact desktop accessory suitable for various devices and reading materials.

Craft and Techniques

This is a crochet project suitable for beginners. The pattern uses fundamental crochet techniques including working into the front loop only (flo) and back loop only (blo), which create textured surfaces and structural definition. These loop-specific techniques allow crafters to shape the stand and create distinct sections without increasing or decreasing stitch counts dramatically.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) – the foundation stitch for starting rows and creating the base structure
• Single Crochet (sc) – the primary stitch used throughout, worked at a gauge of 4 stitches by 4 rows per square inch
• Front Loop Only (flo) – working through only the front loop of stitches to create texture and definition
• Back Loop Only (blo) – working through only the back loop of stitches for structural shaping

Materials and Tools

The pattern calls for Lion Brand Feels Like Butta yarn in worsted weight (1 skein required). The designer used Dusty Pink for the sample shown, though any color may be substituted. A 4.0mm crochet hook is needed to achieve the correct gauge. Additional supplies include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors for cutting yarn, and polyfill for stuffing (if shaping requires it).

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner project, this stand is accessible to new crocheters while introducing practical techniques like front and back loop only work that build foundational skills.
