Just a cozy for the new reading lamp of my father and a case for his mobile phone.
Phone case (5.5 cm*10 cm):
- R0: 13 chain (ch) stitches with the black cotton.
- R1: single crochet (sc) stitches on the two sides with three sc on the extremity stitches (28 sc in total).
- R2 to R8: sc in each stitches (without any slip stitch).
- R9 (green): Change to green cotton, (1 sc, 1 ch, skip a sc) repeat, finish with one sl st on the first sc of the row.
- R10: Change to black cotton, (Two sc in the ch of previous row, skip sc) repeat.
- R11 to R17: same like R2 to R8
- R18 (green): same like R9
- R19: same like R10
- R20 to R26: same like R2 to R8
- R27 (green): same like R9
- R28: same like R10
Now the flap:
- R29 to R34: Only crochet the first 14 sc with one ch when turning.
- Sew your button between row 19 and row 20
- R35: 6 sc, 9 ch (depend on the size of your button), skip 2 sc of row R34, 6 sc.
- R36 (green): change to green cotton, sc all around the flap (with 3sc in the two corners) and the last 14 sc of row R28, sl st at the end.
- Weave in the ends.
Lamp cosy
Same pattern for the lamp cosy, just more chain stitches to work with and the flap is a bit longer.
