DIY Crochet Sunflower Phone Holder Pattern | Cute Hanging Organizer-Welcome to our latest masterclass! Today we are learning how to create this beautiful piece.

Materials Needed

• Worsted weight yarn in yellow
• Worsted weight yarn in cream/light beige
• Worsted weight yarn in brown
• Small amount of black yarn or 6mm safety eyes
• Crochet hook (e.g., 4.0mm / G-6)
• Yarn needle (tapestry needle)
• Scissors
• Stitch markers (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Crochet the main sunflower back panel: Start with a magic ring and work rounds of single crochet (sc) or double crochet (dc) in yellow yarn to create a large, flat circular piece. This will form the foundation for the sunflower.

Step 2

Create and attach the sunflower petals: Crochet multiple individual petals in yellow yarn (e.g., using chain and sc/dc stitches to form an oval or teardrop shape). Once completed, securely stitch each petal around the edge of the large yellow circular back panel.

Step 3

Form the front pocket base: Crochet a semi-circular or oval piece in brown yarn for the base of the phone holder pocket, representing the center of the sunflower. Then, crochet a slightly wider, cream-colored semi-circular piece to go above the brown section, forming the ‘face’ part of the pocket.

Step 4

Add facial features: Using black yarn, embroider two small eyes and a smiling mouth onto the cream-colored piece of the front pocket. Alternatively, attach small black safety eyes for a defined look.

Step 5

Assemble the phone holder: Carefully align and stitch the completed brown and cream front pocket onto the center of the yellow sunflower back panel. Ensure the top edge of the cream section remains open to create the actual pocket for the phone.

Step 6

Create and attach the hanging loop: Crochet a strong chain or i-cord in yellow yarn, long enough to create a loop for hanging. Securely attach this loop to the top center of the sunflower back panel, ensuring it’s sturdy enough to hold a phone’s weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What crochet stitches do I need to know for this project?
A: This project primarily uses basic stitches like single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), chain (ch), and slip stitch (sl st). Knowledge of increasing and decreasing stitches for shaping will also be beneficial.

Q: Can I make this phone holder in a different size?
A: Yes, you can easily adjust the size by using a different yarn weight and a corresponding hook size, or by adding/removing rounds to the main sunflower back and pocket pieces. Just ensure the pocket is deep enough for your specific phone.

Q: How do I make the face expressive?
A: You can use safety eyes for a consistent look, or embroider eyes with black yarn for more customization. For the mouth, a simple curved stitch works well, but you can experiment with different smiles or even adding blush with pink yarn for extra character!
