Step 1: Crochet the Phone Case Base

2. Row 1: Chain 1 (turning chain), then single crochet (SC) across the entire chain (21 stitches).
3. Row 2 onward: Chain 1, continue to make 21 SCs in each row.
4. Repeat row-by-row until the phone case length reaches just below the camera area of your phone.
   • Tip: Regularly measure your progress against your phone to ensure the fit.

Step 2: Work the Side Panels

1. Locate the camera opening position on your phone.
2. Side Panel 1:

   • Continue for 12 rows (one SC per stitch, chain 1 at the start of each row).
3. Side Panel 2:
   • Repeat instructions for the second side to ensure both panels are equal (chain 12 rows of 9 SC stitches).
4. Joining Panels:
   • Count stitches to ensure balance and attach with slip stitches if necessary.
