Donna's Phone Cozy #4

This pattern is available for free.

A woman can’t have just one phone cozy, right?

I made my sister another phone cozy, this time in red. Like what I did for her husband’s cozy (Donna’s Phone Cozy #2), I played with bullion stitches and sc’s with this one too. (I made a very good video hub on how to crochet bullion stitches, so this should not be a problem.)

However, instead of working it in rounds back and forth, I worked it spirally in rounds. I love working in a spiral because I hate those slip stitches needed to close each round.

Working it in a spiral produces a crochet fabric that looks slightly different from each other. On the right side, the bullion stitches swells more making this side humpier (see first photo below). On the wrong side, the bullion stitches are flat and the sc’s make V’s in between (see second photo below).

This worked perfectly fine because the lumpier right side serves as a cushion for the phone. The smoother wrong side allows the phone to slide in easily.
