Freebie Friday-

 Crochet Cell Phone Stand (Pillow)

Ch 17.

Rnd 1: sc in second chain from hook, sc in next 14 chains, 3 sc in last chain. Rotate piece so you can work into the other side of the starting chain: sc in next 15 chains, 3 sc in last chain. (36 st)

Rnds 2-5: sc in each st around. (36 st)

Turn your work right-side out (so the side that faces you as you crochet is on the outside of the piece). Flatten the piece so the starting chain is along the bottom and your hook is at one corner 

Do not fasten off. 

In the following row, you’ll crochet through both layers of the flattened piece, starting with the next stitch and the stitch just worked

Row 1: sc in each st across, pausing when you have a few stitches left so you can add stuffing along the length of the tube you’re forming, then continuing crocheting to close up the remaining hole. (18 st)

Rows 2-3: ch 1 (does not count as a st, here and throughout), turn, hdc in next 18 st. (18 st)

Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc in front loops only of next 18 st, turn, sc in unworked back loops of the same 18 st*.

The stitches of Row 4 will spray out to the front and back. Pinching the front and back up towards each other makes it easier to see how your crochet will continue upwards as you resume working in the round.

Rnd 1: skipping the ch 1, sc in each st around. (36 st)

Rnds 2-18: sc in each st around. (36 st)

Follow the assembly instructions:

Step 1: Flatten the piece parallel to the bottom edge and grab one top corner with the fingertips of each hand 

Step 2: Bring your fingers together so the previous corners meet in the middle 

Step 3: Turn the piece sideways and then flatten the top edge of the crochet out to the edges, to form new corners perpendicular to the original ones 

Step 4: Resume crocheting: sc in each st across until your hook reaches the next corner

Step 5: Turn your work. Crocheting through both layers of the flattened piece, begin to sc in each st across (below, left), pausing when you have a few stitches left so you can add stuffing 

Step 6: Stuff the piece very lightly (you only need just enough stuffing to let the piece hold its shape), making sure you push a little stuffing into each of the four corners, then continue crocheting to close up the remaining hole.

Step 7: Fasten off and weave in the yarn end.
