Inspired by vintage flower seed packets, this phone case is colorful and bright and displays a flower unlike any other the world — a Tall ’n’ Fast Flower! The pattern is adaptable to fit cell phones of any size. However, gauge may need to be adjusted (by using a smaller hook and lighter weight yarn) for phones smaller than 2½” wide.

Gauge for Flower Applique
Using a B-1 crochet hook and yarn listed in the pattern, your flower motif should measure 3” from the edge of one petal to the other.
If your phone is smaller than 2½” across, try using a smaller hook (and possibly a lighter weight yarn) to create a flower that will fit.

Light-weight cotton yarn in yellow, purple, green, pink, blue, and white
40-50 yds light-weight cotton yarn for main color of your choice
