I can attach it to my purse or through my belt loop, I use it all the time! Actually I have several different ones that I use all the time.<br />
<br />
The pattern is adjustable to whatever size phone you have. You basically want to get the first 3 rows (** the oval shape) to custom fit the bottom of your phone, then continue on from there. It's a very easy pattern!<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Cell Phone Case</span><br />
Hook size: G - 6, 4.25mm<br />
Yarn: Worsted Weight, #4, (I used Red Heart Acrylic)<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Instructions:</span><br />
Make a chain approximately the width of your phone. (For mine I started with ch 11)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">row 1 -</span> sc in 2nd ch from hook & sc in each stitch putting 2 sc in the last stitch (to go around the corner)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">row 2 - </span>then sc up the other side, 2 sc in end stitch (to go around the corner)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">row 3 - </span>sc along that side.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">**(At this point you should have a long flat oval, this is the bottom of the cell phone case and should be approximately the same length & width as the bottom of your phone.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">row 4 -</span> sc in back loops only all the way around (this makes the sides of the case turn upward)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">row 5 -</span> sc around<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">row 6, etc. - </span>sc around<br />
continue crocheting around, to a length about 1/2 inch shorter than your phone.<br />
Leave yarn attached & start flap-<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Flap & buttonhole - </span><br />
At this point you can see the shape of your case and try it on the phone.<br />
Figure where the back will be & leaving 3 stitches on each side for the straps,<br />
single crochet across turning each row until flap is the length you desire.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Buttonhole rows -</span> (my flap was about 8 stitches wide so I did it like this)<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1. </span>sc in the next 2 stitches, ch 4 and sc in the last 2 stitches of the row, turn,<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">2. </span>sc in the next 2 stitches, 4 sc across the loop, sc in last 2 stitches.<br />
Tie off.<br />
Put your phone in the case and line up the buttonhole flap to position your button.<br />
I find a button with a shank works best.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Straps</span><br />
Attach yarn on one side, sc in next 3 stitches, turn, sc in 3 stitches, turn & continue until strap is desired length.<br />
Attach yarn at other side and sc in next 3 stitches and repeat as for step 1.<br />
Loop end of straps through snap & hook and sew down.<br />
I used what is called a "simplex snap" which you should be able to get at a hardware store. The size is 1 <span style="font-size: 78%;">1/4</span> inches. I actually found mine at Fred Meyer Department store:<br />

Weave in all your ends and you're done!<br />
<br />
<br />
Add a flower, embroider or appliqué your favorite design, however you want to embellish it. Or leave it plain for a more masculine look.<br />
