Small beads or embroidery thread for bat eyes (optional)

Step 1: Creating the Base Case

Foundation Chain: Start with a chain that is slightly wider than your phone (around 25-30 chains depending on the size of your phone). Join with a slip stitch to form a ring, making sure the chain isn’t twisted.
Round 1: Chain 1, single crochet (SC) into each chain around. Slip stitch to the first SC to join.

Step 2: Making the Pumpkin

Start the Pumpkin Shape: With orange yarn, make a magic ring.

Step 3: Making the Witch Hat

Foundation: With green yarn, make a magic ring.
Round 1: Chain 1, work 6 SC into the ring. Pull tight and slip stitch to the first SC.
Round 2: Chain 1, work 2 SC in each stitch around (12 SC). Slip stitch to join.
Round 3 – 6: Chain 1, SC in each stitch around, slip stitch to join. This forms the main body of the hat.
Brim: Work in the back loops only for the first round of the brim. Chain 1, SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch, repeat from * around.
Next Round: Chain 1, work 2 SC in each stitch around to form a slightly wider brim.
Finish Off: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Attach the hat to the pumpkin by sewing with the tail.

Step 4: Adding the Face

Eyes and Mouth: Use black yarn or embroidery thread to create the pumpkin’s face. You can sew small triangles for eyes and a jagged shape for the mouth directly onto the pumpkin.
Embellishments: Add a small flower or buckle detail to the hat with orange or black yarn.

Step 5: Making the Bats

Foundation: With white yarn, chain 6, then turn.
Wings: In the second chain from the hook, work a slip stitch, then work 2 single crochets in the next chain, and continue this pattern to form a small wing shape. Repeat for the other side by working back down the chain to form the bat shape.
Body: Chain 1 at the end of each side to create a little bat body between the wings.
Eyes (Optional): Sew small beads or black embroidery thread for the eyes on each bat.

Step 6: Assembling the Case

Attach the Pumpkin: Position the pumpkin on the center of the phone case and sew it in place with the long tail left from finishing the pumpkin.
