How to Crochet: BMO Phone Case

 

Also, for those of you who would rather
just buy this, it’s available here.

Added a new, and kinda big, pattern to my YouTube this week! So a lot of people liked my iPhone case that looks like BMO from Adventure time so I figured why not add a free pattern to explain how to make an iPhone case made with my pattern (available here by the way) into a BMO iPhone case!

I had to split the video into two, and on my YouTube it’s also split into two weeks, so part two technically won’t be available until next week, but I figure I’d let you guys have both video’s now because I love my followers here so much!!

*Disclaimer: This pattern is only to make the various parts of BMO, and not the iPhone case itself, that pattern is available in my Etsy shop here*
 
Well without further ado, here are the two video’s and the written patterns for the three different parts to go with them!!

Lion Brand Cotton/Lily Sugar’n Cream

(basically any 100% cotton works)
–Crochet Hook-Size G6 4.00mm

How to crochet a flower: Re-do

Hey guys! So I decided to redo one of my old patterns and make a video and stuff for it, so here it is, my old Flower pattern, but now with a new video, and a few tweaks to the pattern too. Hope you guys like it!


Materials:
Lion Brand Cotton/Lily Sugar’n Cream
/Lion Brand Cotton-Ease
(basically any 100% cotton works)
–Crochet Hook-Size G6 4.00mm
–Needle to sew in ends with

Abbreviations:

-SL.ST = Slip Stitch
-SC = Single Crochet
-HDC = Half Double Crochet
-DC = Double Crochet
-Ch = Chain

-Rnd = Round

Ch 9, pull loop through first ch made.
Rnd 1: sc 18 around the loop of ch’s *not in ch’s*, sl.st in first sc made, don’t turn (18) [image 1]
Rnd 2: ch 10, skip 2 sts, sl.st in 3rd, repeat this 6 times. [image 2]
Rnd 3: Around each of the ch loops made in Rnd 2: sc 2, hdc 2, dc 4, hdc 2, sc 2, then sl.st where you made the sl.sts in Rnd 2 (12 in each loop, 72 total) [images 3 and 4]

To finish, cut and pull through the remaining yarn and sew it into the body of the flower to hide it. Done! Now just get a 7/8” (20mm) button and you can put it anywhere!

Patreon


What’s Patreon?
So if you don’t know what Patreon is, it’s basically a platform to support creators with the things they make, be it videos or little stuffed miniatures like me. You can pledge any amount of money you want per month and become a patron of the art! Think of it like an on going Kickstarter campaign, or even a tipping service, but with benefits.

I have a whole bunch of goals I’m aiming for, like a book, tons of new patterns, and eventually even hopefully to branch out! Check out all them here.

 Kay, but what do I get out of it?
Other than helping me out also get a bunch of content that you wouldn’t normally. Things like: 
-Longer, more in-depth tutorials 
–Video patterns for patrons only!
-Extra episodes of “Watch me Crochet” 
-Patreon specific Crochet Me’s 
-A decision in who I make next! 
-Patreon specific discounts and sales in my Etsy store 
-Being known as an awesome human by me! 

 In addition if you pledge a certain amount of money you can get some extra perks like free patterns or I’ll even crochet you! Check out a list on the Patreon page here.
