Cellular phone pocket

[dorayme]

I needed a cel phone case so I decided to make one. I looked for a pattern online similar to this but ended up not finding one and just designing my own. I used a size 0 steele hook craft thread and one metal snap. It took between 4 and 5 skeins of the craft thread. There's a little more detail on my blog on the pouch.

My sister craftygirlz really turned me onto the idea of using craft thread. I want to do some experimentation with crocheting with steele hooks as this is new for me and it's a great value for small projects when you would like a variety of colors. You do have to join because the skeins are only 10 yds but I purchased a package from Wal-Mart for under $11 and it had 105 skeins with all different colors. It's 100% cotton and has a nice sheen. Unlike embroidery floss it's twisted and doesn't separate. I think I'll have to try some flower motifs soon.

That's a really nice case. I'm going to have to check WM for that thread too!

I'll be pushing my cart to the yarn section of the WM tomorrow looking for that.

Love the phone pocket! Wish I was quick enough to get mine out of my purse quick enough before the ringing stops, much less a pocket! Good job!
