One day, I was scrolling through my Pinterest feed, when I stumbled upon a cute wooden mobile phone holder in a TV shape. I immediately thought “I want this”. But then an idea came across my mind: what if I tried to make a crochet version of it? The more I thought about it, the clearer I could picture the design I could make with crochet. I draw how I could present my TV phone holder, and how I can make it solid enough to hold my phone in place. It was a long process, I made many changes upon making this pattern. It took me days/weeks, but I can finally introduce to you my new pattern: The Bunny TV phone holder. And you can crochet this cute mobile phone holder now with me! Let’s go!

Material – Crochet Mobile Phone Holder

• You will need a strong and hard type of yarn. I recommend you the macramé cord yarn, it’s really sturdy when you crochet it. Pick a 2 mm braided cord.
• White faux furn yarn
• Pink acrylic yarn (I used the brand Kartopu no-1 anti pilling)
• 6 mm and 5 mm crochet hooks
• Some cardboard thick (3 mm of thickness) and some a lit bit thinner
• Acrylic paint (optional)
• Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
• 22 plastic bottle caps
• stitch markers

Important Notes

We probably have different brands of mobile phone, so the dimensions may change for you. I made this pattern using the dimensions of my samsung galaxy 10. But you can adapt the pattern to your phone’s dimensions by adding or suppressing stitches/rounds/rows in the pattern.

If you follow me, you may know that I love to recycle / upcycle things (especially plastic bottles and cardboard), so naturally when making this pattern I wanted to recycle plastic bottle’s caps and cardboard to make the stand more stable and sturdy. Of course, you can use any other material to make the stand base solid.

To make it easy for me and for you, I will name each separate part of the pattern “Part A, Part B, Part C…”, you may need to scroll back up the article to make sure what part I’m talking about on occasions.

Although the stitches are simple, this pattern is more suitable for intermediate level of crocheters, because it may be complicated to follow along as a beginner. But it’s not impossible of course, because I personally believe that even as a beginner, you can manage to make difficult project, even though it may take more time for you to understand some indications. I encourage you to challenge yourself and have the confidence to start doing whatever project you want to make without setting up barriers for yourself, you may be surprised by your own, unsuspected, capabilities! Trust me!

Let’s proceed to the pattern now, shall we?

Crochet Mobile Phone Holder

Part A

With your 6 mm crochet hook and the macramé cord yarn: we will start making the base bottom rectangle. Close every round with a sl st in the 1st sc of the round – we are not working amigurumi style for this pattern.

Ch 11

Round 1 : starting from the 2nd loop from the hook: 9 sc, (3 sc in last stitch of the chain), continue working on the other side of the chain base: 8 sc, (2 sc in the last stitch – the one we made our very first sc of the round). (22)

Round 2 : (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 8 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 1 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 8 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 1 sc. (30)

R3 : 1 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 10 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 3 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 10 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 2 sc. (38)

R4 : 2 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 12 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 5 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 12 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 3 sc. (46)

R5 : 3 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 14 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 7 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 14 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 4 sc. (54)

R6 : 4 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 16 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 9 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 16 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 5 sc. (62)

R7 : 5 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 18 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 11 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 18 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 6 sc. (70)

R8 : 6 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 20 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 13 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 20 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 7 sc. (78)

R9 : 7 sc, (3 sc in the first stitch of the round), 22 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 15 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 22 sc, (3 sc in the next stitch), 8 sc. (86)

At this point, you have made a large rectangle. You have to make 2 rectangles this same way: for one of them you will cut yarn and weave in ends (we will use it later on, we will name it Part A1), and we will keep working with the 2nd rectangle (named Part A2).

Continue working with Part A2 of your crochet mobile phone holder: cut yarn and make an invisible stitch. Get your stitch markers and mark the following space: leave 26 stitches unworked on one of the larger side – going from the middle stitch of the 3 sc of one corner, to the other middle stitch of the 3 sc of the opposite corner.

Join yarn on the right side, in the first stitch after the marked one, we will now work in rows.

Building the support

Row 10 to 13: 60 sc, ch 1 then turn (60)

Prepare your cardboard foundation this way: cut, on a piece of cardboard, a rectangle a little smaller than Part A. Round the corners. The thickness of the cardboard should be around 3 mm.

Glue the plastic bottle caps all over one side of the cardboard. Make sure that none of the bottle caps go past the cardboard edges. The bottle caps have a thickness of 1,2 cm.

Place and glue your cardboard, bottle caps side down, on Part A2. We will crochet next row using Part A1 to cover the cardboard.

Row 14: 57 sc by going first through both loops of Part A2 stitch, then go through the front loop only of Part A1 stitch (as shown in the picture beside), to sew them together. Go around the row this way. (57)

You should have 3 stitches left. Don’t work single crochet in them. We will sew them together with a yarn needle, because this will be the space we’ll need to slide our phone through it.

Row 15 to 24: ch 1 then turn, 57 sc (57)

The slanted sides

The right side

We will now work the top slanted sides of the TV. At row 24, you should be on the right side of the TV (the side where we left 3 unworked stitches at row 14).

Row 25: 15 sc, ch 1 then turn (15)

Row 26: 2 sc dec, 11 sc, ch 1 then turn (13)

R27: 9 sc, 2 sc dec, ch 1 then turn (11)

R28: 1 sc dec, 9 sc, ch 4 then turn (13)

R29: starting from the second loop from the hook, 3 sc in the previous ch4, 8 sc, 1 sc dec, ch 1 then turn (12)

R30: 1 sc dec, 10 sc, ch 1 then turn (11)

R31: 9 sc, 1 sc dec, ch 1 then turn (10)

R32: 1 sc dec, 8 sc (9)

Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.

The left side

Back to row 24 on the left side.

Row 25: Join yarn with a sc in the 1st stitch on the left side of the TV. 18 sc, ch 1 then turn (18)

Row 26: 2 sc dec, 14 sc , ch 1 then turn (16)

R27: 12 sc, 2 sc dec, ch 1 then turn (14)

R28: 1 sc dec, 12 sc ch 1 then turn (13)

R29: 11 sc, 1 sc dec, ch 1 then turn (12)

R30: 1 sc dec, 10 sc, ch 1 then turn (11)

R31: 9 sc, 1 sc dec, ch 1 then turn (10)

R32: 1 sc dec, 8 sc (9)

Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.

Part B

Ch 26, and starting from the 2nd loop from the hook for Row 1:

Row 1 to 18: 25 sc, ch 1 then turn (25)

Cut yarn and leave a long tail for sewing.

We will sew part B at the level of the 4th stitch on each side of the phone stand. Sew the bottom of part B to the stand too.

Part C – The Frame

Ch 27, and starting from the 2nd loop from the hook for Row 1:

Row 1 to 5: 26 sc, ch 1 then turn (26)

Row 6 to 19: 3 sc, ch 1 then turn (3)

Cut yarn and weave in end.

Go back to row 5 on the other side of the frame and repeat row 6 to 19 the same way.

Row 20: 3 sc, ch 20, 3 sc, ch 1 then turn (26)

Row 21 to 25: 26 sc (26)

Cut yarn and leave a long tail for sewing. Sew Part C in the front part of the mobile stand, on its bottom (Part A2 and A1 front) and on the sides.

The back of the mobile stand

The inside

Cut on your cardboard, 3 pieces the size of your inside, as show in the picture beside. I personally recommend you to paint them to give a nice touch since we will be able to see the cardboard later on. So it’s better to decorate it, you can glue cute paper on it or anything that can embellish it.

Then glue the cardboard inside your mobile stand to make it more sturdy. This is optional, but it really makes your mobile stand solid, even while holding it, you don’t even feel the cardboard.

We will now proceed to make the top of the stand.

The Top of the mobile stand

Take your stand, the back of it facing you. There should be 24 stitches there.

Row 25: Join yarn with a sc on the 1st free stitch at the right. Add 23 more sc (24)

R26 to 27: ch 1 then turn, 24 sc (24)

R28 to 37: ch 1 then turn, 6 sc (6)

Cut yarn, weave in ends.

Go back to row 27 and join yarn with a sc to the other side of the row (the one opposite to the 6 sc rows). Repeat rows 28 to 37 there too. You should then have a space in between the 2 sides which consists of 12 unworked stitches.

Continue working the next rows without cutting the yarn.

R38: ch 1 then turn, 6 sc, ch 12, 6 sc (24)

R39 to 45: ch 1 then turn, 24 sc (24)

Cut yarn and fasten off.

Now is the big sewing part. Sew the top around the sides of the mobile stand, make sure to sew also Part B and C to it. With the faux fur yarn, single crochet around the hole, on the back, to embellish this part.

Once you have sown the top, take a yarn needle and sew around the stitches on the front frame, with the faux fur yarn, as shown in the picture.

You may need to pass 2 times around the frame, to thicken the fur and have a better and prettier result.

The Bunny Tail

With the 5 mm crochet hook and the faux fur yarn, we will work in the amigurumi method here.

Make a magic circle.

Round 1: 6 sc (6)

Round 2: 6 sc inc (12)

Cut yarn and leave a tail for sewing. Fill the tail with polyester fiberfill for stuffing then sew the tail on the middle bottom back of the mobile stand.

The Bunny Ears (make 2)

With the 5 mm crochet hook and the faux fur yarn, we will crochet the outside of the ears.

Ch 12

Row 1: starting from the 2nd loop from the hook: 10 hdc, (1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc) in the last stitch, continue working on the other side of the chain: 10 hdc. Ch1 then turn for the next row (24)

Row 2: 3 sc, 2 hdc, 3 dc, 2 tr, (tr inc) x4, 2 tr, 3 dc, 2 hdc, 3 sc. (28)

Row 2: 5 sl st, 5 sc, sc inc, (1 sc, 1 hdc) in the next stitch, (1 hdc, 1 sc) in the next stitch, sc inc, 5 sc, 5 sl st. (28)

Cut yarn. Now sew the pink part on the white part, making sure the yarn thread doesn’t show on the back of the ear. Make 2 ears this way and sew them on the top of the mobile stand.

The Feet (make 2)

With the faux fur yarn and 5 mm crochet hook. We will work amigurumi style.

Make a magic circle
