- Rounds 3+:

- Skip the next stitch.
- Repeat the pattern (1 sc + 1 dc, skip 1) for the entire round.
- Begin working in a spiral:
- Continue repeating the above pattern for Rounds 3–22 until you achieve the desired height.

To create the strap, work single crochets into the back loops and continuously adjust its length to suit your preference. Attach it at the corners of the phone cover for added functionality.
Part 4: Adding Closure (Optional)
