I have been inspired by so many projects linked up at our Yarn Fanatic Party - a linky party we host on EyeLoveKnots and on The Philosopher’s Wife beginning on Monday afternoons and running through the week.

Several parties ago - #26 - Audrey of Audrey B/StudioPaars shared a DIY Crochet a Granny Square Phone Cosy tutorial with us, and I added it to my list of things to make.

Today, I decided to try out my own Granny Square Phone Cozy.

Keep in mind, this will vary depending on your yarn, hook and phone size. You will notice in Audrey’s post that she either has a larger phone than I, or used a lighter weight yarn than I since she has more rows on her phone case.

Experiment with yarn weights and colors! There are lots of great color combinations out there.

This post has A LOT of info - but I hope it is all helpful to you! I would love your feedback!

Materials:
- Small amount of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice in Charcoal Grey, Dusty Rose and Dusty Blue; Red Heart’s Super Saver Yarn in Cornmeal and Glowwarm Green, and Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Light Grey
- G6/4.25mm Crochet Hook if using Super Saver (5.75)
- H8/5mm Crochet Hook if using Vanna’s Choice, or Super Saver (6.25)
- I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook is using I Love This Yarn
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends - I like to use a #18, or #20
- Size 3 Sew-On Snap - I used one of the 4 Sew-On Snaps by Dritz in Black and Nickel-Plated (JoAnn’s) on each cozy
- Opt. Decorative Button - I used a 3/4” White Pearl Cluster Shank Button, 5/8” White Square Shank Button, and 5/8” Beaded Black Shank Button
- Opt. Matching Thread
- Opt. Hot Glue

Material Notes:
I used several yarn types to see if I could achieve the same results. Of the above yarns chosen, my favorite for this project is the Vanna’s Choice Yarn. I love how defined the stitches are, and the durability of Vanna’s Choice. I also am a big fan of I Love This Yarn for many projects including this phone cozy. As for the Super Saver Yarn… it works well, but is a little rough in nature. I also could not get the same 6” measurement so I have two separate measurements listed below for you.

I chose to use 2-3 strands of the worsted weight yarn in place of the sewing thread, hence the “optional” part.

The hot glue would be if you would rather got glue the decorative button onto the flap, rather than sew. I also chose to sew it on.

Time Spent:
I had my granny square cozy ready to use in about 45 minutes.
