Mobile Phone Holder Crochet Pattern - How to Read Written Crochet Patterns

[@nannacoleman13]

Very good job. I have no problem understanding you. Your accent is actually enjoyable to listen to. Thanks

[@crochetarcade]

Thank you so much for your feedback Ronda : )

[@sharonbeecheno4687]

Thank you for your very clear and precise instructions. Very easy to follow and looks great. Looking forward to animal ones.

[@crochetarcade]

That's great to hear, Sharon! The animal holders are bigger, as they are book/tablet holders, and they are paid patterns, so Aneta will not post here any tutorial for them. You can order the patterns from her website, here's the link to it: www.crochetarcade.co.uk/product-category/baby-blanket-crochet-patterns/. She has discounts for buying 3, 4 or 5 patterns, here's the link to the discount codes: www.crochetarcade.co.uk/new-offer-on-my-patterns/. Alternatively, you can also purchase the patterns in her other shops if you are more familiar with buying on them: - Ravelry shop: www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/crochet-arcades-ravelry-store/patterns - Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CrochetArcade - Love Crafts shop: www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/user/maker/acfbb8c8-4c65-492d-b861-84525dea19ed Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing!! I just love your patterns, I find the Unicorn phone so cute! 🥰🧶

[@crochetarcade]

You are so welcome! Lovely to know you like it! xx

[@usacrochetpodcastgloria6132]

I never understand written patterns but you make it easier to read and doing crochet along with the written pattern thank you that makes it easier to understand

[@sylvialashley1297]

Thanks for the very cool tutorial!! I found it extremely easy to follow, you did a terrific job. I added an extra row of single crochets to the lower “tray” because my phone kept slipping off if I used it horizontally. Now it works great! I love it!!

[@crochetarcade]

You're welcome Sylvia and thank you for a lovely comment. I'm glad you were able to adjust the pattern for your needs. What could maybe also work is making the first ridge using hdc rather then sc or adding less stuffing to the front part.

[@roseuj]

Yey, I finished my phone holder! So cool. Thanks!

[@karenbleeker6389]

Thanx for a great pattern,I always use my earphones because I don't want to be a bother for the other people in my house.Your a lifesaver!!!

[@lorainestables4671]

Wow I’ve finished mine love it . Very clear instructions. Your a clever gir hugs Loraine

[@Ellie.J.R.4628]

Thank you for this tutorial. It was a bit hard to hear but all & all not hard to follow. I would like to mention that you did accidentally edited row 19 from your tutorial but if you were counting the ending stitches you would of noticed it. Love it. ❤ Thank you for the tutorial.

[@SB-tj1nc]

Just completed my holder. 🤗 Your video was great! I initially started with the written pattern but decided to follow your video and it was much easier. I used Red Heart super saver yarn but should have used a thicker yarn because the holder isn't stiff enough to hold my phone in a vertical position. I'm going to make another one with the thicker yarn and taller back. Thank you for making and posting the video.

[@crochetarcade]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Vacay :) Hope another one will turn out perfect for you.

[@usacrochetpodcastgloria6132]

Try using two strands of super saver yarn it might make it thicker

[@wendyjo9349]

great pattern!! thank you so much!! I am a soft speaker also, so the volume was fine, quite soothing. Looking forward to more patterns from you!!

[@crochetarcade]

Hi Wendy, thank you so much for a lovely comment, very uplifting :)

Shorter would be great! 👌

[@flustard1]

Thank you for the great idea of your ruler. It sure helps reading the pattern. I just came upon your channel. Thank you for the help a d sharing. Rosie from California.

[@crochetarcade]

You're welcome Rosie, I'm so glad the ruler idea is helping you. So nice to hear I could help someone. Greetings from the UK

I.m in brasil pernambuco nort.thank you for tutorial. Kiss

[@crochetarcade]

You’re welcome, Magda 😊

[@isabellaknittel8882]

Congratulations on the video, this is a beautiful and useful piece. I would like to give you some constructive criticism if you don't mind. As someone who learned how to crochet using the internet, mostly youtube videos, I can tell you that it's more useful to us to show how you do the stitch and where certain stitches go as opposed to the interpretation of the steps. Also, you can do just one or two times any different stitch and fast foward the rest, it makes the video smaller and less difficult to watch. You could just say how many stitches are necessary without going over the instructions since you already know what you're doing. This way it just seems like you're a beginner struggling to understand the recipe and makes the video long and tiring. Maybe putting the number of stitches on the screen can make it easier for bilingual viewers too. Sorry for the long text but video tutorials are super useful for those of us interested in learning and the better the video the easier it is for us. Once again, congratulations on the beautiful work :)

[@lamiyasinaph3470]

Isabella Knittel exactly what I was thinking.

[@JSM7180]

For the first time i really enjoyed a long tutorial to be honest. She is very sweet care about details and teaches perfectly i didnt get bored at all and row by row continued with her🥰.

[@BlessedBaubles]

Oh my gosh! Looks like rocket science. Can’t you just show us you making one?

[@anamariajimenezsanchez4166]

Hola me encantó me costó entenderte pero mas o menos si pudieras traduccion en español seria genial

[@extraordinary729]

I made one that turned out great! I was wondering if you knew how to make one with smaller yarn sizes? I have so much leftover and spare yarn that I would love to turn into these phone holders and give as Christmas gifts. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@crochetarcade]

You're welcome :) For thinner yarn just use 2 strands of worsted and for DK something like 3 or 4 strands. Just do the small sample to check if the gauge is the same :)

[@diysy9431]

Ok now i get it i did everything and turned my work inside out but how did you know to turn it inside out i did not see that in the steps or instructions and how did you know to skip the slip stitches when coming back to add new stitches did i miss something i wqa confused for a long time if anyone can answer id really appreciated it 😅😅😅

[@jerihohenfeldt9122]

Adorable! What brand and color of yarn are you using in this tutorial?

[@crochetarcade]

Hi Jeri, great to hear you like it! Aneta used Lion Brand Hometown USA in the tutorial. Hope this helps. Cristina xx

[@sheroamalcrochet973]

Thank you ! You are good teacher. رائع وجميل

cute and cool... like it..

[@pachoreyes1012]

Para hacer e'l ruedo' se teje x atraz??Y luego para empezar e'l trabajo x adelante??

[@diysy9431]

I did my but my thing turned out more round then rectangle and it wont hold

[@lindagiacomozzi4477]

could you use worsted weight yarn number 4 weight

[@Ellie.J.R.4628]

Yeah she mentioned in a prior commitment to use double stranded.

[@veronicaurena1452]

I love this pattern and did one. But i was wondering if you need to make it a bit bigger for the new iPhones do you add additional rows?

[@roseuj]

Yes, I did on my own. I added 3 to the 6 chains at the beginning row.

[@letydimastelefono6441]

SE Q YA PASÓ TIEMPO PERO EL PROBLEMA ES Q ESTÁ EN INGLES...AL MENOS CON SUBTÍTULOS LO HARÍAMOS LAS Q NO ENTENDEMO SI ME GUSTA TU CANAL Y ESTA MUY BONITO EL PORTA CEL...SALUDOS

[@priscillag9242]

I just bought your pattern for the Panda tablet holder and the rows on the pattern end a little past the middle section of the row I’m working on and then the two SC’s in the next two stitches are at the end of the row? I’ve already restarted this three times being extra careful each time and it still doesn’t make sense and it looks lopsided. I’ll have to revise your pattern instruction and add extra SC’s until I reach the end. So frustrating.

[@crochetarcade]

Hi, we are happy to assist you with this pattern via email as we offer support with all our patterns. Please email us to [e-mail] with the exact row number that you are struggling with or where something doesn't work out for you and we can send you the video for that row.

[@diysy9431]

Not sure if this helps, but after you do the slip stitches, do a stitch marker on the last stitch of the stitch marker and when you come all the way back to it, you skip that one and then you do a slip stitch on the one next to it after that when it comes time to do the final crochets, you skip the slip stitch in the previous round and slip stitch the next one and when you’re working in the round again you skip the slip stitches because they don’t count as stitches and you single crochet all the way around until you get to the top. Also after I finish the rows I have to turn the inside out for the ridges i created to be facing same way i guess i mustve did reverse or something when i did the rows work it was very confusing

[@leafsauce8470]

What if I use a smaller hook and worsted weight yarn?

[@crochetarcade]

Hi :) For this pattern, Aneta used Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn, which is a super chunky yarn that calls for a 10mm hook. Aneta already went down 2 mm and used a 8mm hook to minimise the holes. Using a thinner yarn and a much smaller crochet hook will end up with getting a very small holder, even half size of Aneta's, so couldn't serve its purpose. If you would still like to use worsted weight yarn and a smaller hook, you will need to adjust the pattern, to make it bigger. Unfortunately, neither Aneta nor me tried it before, so can't advise about it. Hope this helps ;) Cristina xx

[@leafsauce8470]

@@crochetarcadeoh ok, thanks!!

[@pamalakornegay5041]

I would like to know where did you get the ruler from for reading the patterns. I like the way it helps you read the the pattern. I really need one.

[@crochetarcade]

Pamala I made it myself, I don't think something like that exists in the shops. I just cut out a bit of elastic plastic that you often have as a first page of a notepads. I drawn the lines with the marker pen :)

[@fat.bee.crochet3848]

Cool

[@lorainestables4671]

Hello could you do a tablet size please Loraine

[@feliciaalas6421]

Why in the first row it looks like you are going into just the front loop of the stitch but in the second row you are going through both front and back loops of the stitch? How can I tell if the sc should go into both loops or just the front loop of the stitch?

[@crochetarcade]

Hi Felicia, sorry for the late reply on this. Normal stitches always go under both front and back loop. The first row is made in the chain and not single crochet sts, so you don't have any other choice but crochet under one loop of a chain. Hope this makes sense.

[@agustinagervasi3829]

What size the needle and the wool? I did it and it was too small...😓😪😖😭

[@Ellie.J.R.4628]

She used a bulky yarn. I personally used 4ply but double stranded to make it bulky since i didn't have a bulky yarn and i really wanted to make this.

[@jessicakinsey6608]

I can't get to your blog. It's telling me the web site is not available.

Im going to start this!!🌸 Im so excited!! Do you have instagram, i would like to tag you in the photo once i finished it, and also, do you take requests?🌸

[@crochetarcade]

Hi Samathan, yes I do have an istagram instagram.com/crochetarcade please feel free to tag me :) Ps. Not sure what requests do you mean?

[@samanthaleekruger9776]

Aneta Wawro Awesome! I'll be sure to follow you!🌸 By requests I mean, if i ask you to do a tutorial on how to crochet something, if you would do so. Like, I've been wanting to crochet a skull for months now but Im not that well advanced in crocheting to make one myself, so I would request that you (if you can) do a crochret skull tutorial?🌸

[@crochetarcade]

Hi Samantha, unfortunately I don't have as much time to do that type of requests atm. I'm in the process of building my patterns portfolio and need to add some more content of my website. For the moment I tend to only do the tutorials that support my own crochet written patterns as a part of support. Sorry! I hope you will find a skull tutorial soon, will let you know here if I will find one. Thanks

Vocals are low

[@Marooska1]

Turn iPad up full blast still too low. You are very soft spoken so makes it more difficult to hear you. Need to speak louder and clearer for future pattern videos. Cute pattern.

[@FujishimaAkiko]

Louder speakers won't matter... I have surround sound and it's still a bit difficult to hear what she's saying with my volume on full blast.

[@brendatuggle675]

Show more of stitching and please add more volume.

Everything is perfect except for the volume. I can barely hear your voice. I turned my phone up as loud as it would go but it still was hard to hear most of what you were saying.

[@crochetarcade]

Thank you Dorothy, few people said that. It seems better when I play it on the computer. I think it's because I was recording with the cover on my phone and unfortunately can't adjust it now. I've learned now and hopefully all future tutorials will be much louder.

[@crochetarcade]

Sorry about this. It seems quite loud when I play it on my laptop and my iPhone but I know few other people have said this. I can't adjust the sound now the video has been done, the only thing I can advise is to use a device with stronger speakers like laptop or computer with the speakers. I'm working on speaking much louder on my new tutorials, it's one of the first one's I've done.
