Crochet Corgi Phone Holder: A Cute Desk Project for Dog Lovers

A Playful Corgi with a Useful Desk Job

This crochet phone holder takes its inspiration from a corgi’s rounded rear and short little paws. The golden yellow base has a white scalloped edge, while the raised white-and-yellow pieces create both the character detail and the shape that supports the phone.

In the finished-project photo, the phone sits horizontally across the base. Its lower edge rests behind the small raised pieces at the front, and the larger corgi-shaped section provides support from behind.

That arrangement makes the project more than a decorative amigurumi. The position and firmness of the pieces affect whether the phone stays at a comfortable viewing angle.

Use the notes below when planning the materials, arranging the parts, and checking the finished holder. The video near the end provides the crochet instructions and detailed construction.

Start with the Phone You Will Use

Before choosing yarn or changing the pattern size, set aside the phone and case that the holder needs to accommodate.

A thick case changes how the bottom edge sits against the crochet. A larger or heavier phone also places more pressure on the rear support. Testing with the actual device is more useful than judging the fit from the finished photograph.

The pictured arrangement is landscape orientation. Treat portrait orientation as a separate fit test, since a taller phone position changes the balance.

Gather Your Materials

For the pictured color arrangement, prepare:

• Golden yellow yarn for the base and matching corgi details.

• White yarn for the contrasting pieces and scalloped edging.

• A crochet hook suitable for your yarn.

• Scissors, a yarn needle, and stitch markers.

• The filling and any additional support materials specified in the tutorial.

• Your phone with its usual case for fitting.

Check the video before choosing the filling or adding an internal support. The finished photos do not reveal everything inside the raised sections.

Choose yarns of a similar thickness for the yellow and white parts. A large difference can change the proportions and make adjoining pieces harder to fit neatly.

Aim for Firm, Even Fabric

A phone holder needs enough structure to resist collapsing under the device. Work with consistent tension and inspect the fabric as it develops.

If the stitches leave large gaps or the raised pieces feel unusually floppy, review your yarn and hook combination before continuing. Simply pulling every stitch tighter can make the work difficult without solving a mismatch between the materials.

The tutorial uses familiar techniques, including single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. The main challenge is combining those stitches with careful shaping and assembly.

In this project, we’ll crochet a corgi-inspired phone holder using familiar stitches. This page is a handy companion while you plan and finish your project; for the stitch-by-stitch instructions and shaping, follow my full video tutorial.

Keep the Base Flat

The base gives the holder its footprint on the desk. It should rest evenly rather than rocking on a curled edge or forming a bowl beneath the phone.

Follow the tutorial’s increases and shaping closely. Use a marker to keep track of the round or section you are working on, especially where similar stitches make the starting point difficult to identify.

Lay the base on a table at intervals. If it starts to cup or ripple, check the stitch count and placement before adding more rounds.

Let the White Edging Sit Naturally

The white scalloped border frames the yellow base. Keep the scallops evenly distributed without pulling them into a tight rim.

An edging worked too tightly can lift the base around its perimeter. Extra stitches can create waves that make the holder sit unevenly.

After finishing the border, place the base flat again and check it from the side. Correcting an uneven edge is easier before the raised pieces have been attached.

Arrange the Corgi Details Before Sewing

The phone holder depends on the relationship between the front pieces and the larger rear support. Follow the tutorial’s placement, then temporarily position the parts before securing them permanently.

Compare the matching pieces side by side. Similar height and firmness help the phone rest evenly instead of leaning toward one end.

Use these three views when checking the arrangement:

• From above: Are the pieces balanced across the base?

• From the front: Does the phone’s lower edge have a consistent resting position?

• From the side: Does the rear section support the intended viewing angle?

Place the phone gently while supporting it with your hand. This lets you assess the fit without asking an unfinished assembly to carry the full weight.

Secure the Functional Pieces Carefully

Sew the support pieces through enough of their attachment edges to keep them from rolling or folding away under pressure.

Avoid tightening the sewing yarn so much that the base puckers beneath a piece. The aim is a secure connection with the base still resting flat.

Finish the decorative details after confirming the main arrangement. A neatly positioned tail adds character, but it should not interfere with where the phone rests.

Test the Holder Before Calling It Finished

Place the assembled holder on a flat desk and add the phone in the pictured landscape position. Keep a hand nearby during the first test.

Check whether the lower edge stays in place, whether the rear support compresses noticeably, and whether the base remains flat under the load.

Leave the phone in position briefly and inspect it again. A soft crocheted support may settle after the initial placement.

If the Phone Slides Forward

Look at how its lower edge meets the front pieces. A case with a smooth surface may behave differently from one with a textured edge.

Compare the spacing and height of those pieces with the tutorial. Moving them slightly during assembly may help, but avoid covering the screen or pressing against side buttons.

If the Phone Leans or Tips

Check that the raised pieces have similar firmness and that the rear support is attached evenly.

If the device feels unstable, remove it and review the construction. Adding more filling indiscriminately can distort the shape without creating a reliable support.

A phone substantially larger or heavier than the pictured device may need a different holder size or design. Keep the finished piece as a desk decoration if it cannot support your phone comfortably.

Make It Personal Without Losing the Fit

Golden yellow and white give the pictured holder its cheerful appearance. Caramel and cream would create a warmer variation, while a softer tan could suit a quieter desk palette.

Keep the yarn thickness consistent when changing colors so the proportions remain close to the original.

For a gift, ask which phone and case the recipient uses before making size changes. Include a finished-project photo showing how the phone sits; the correct placement may not be obvious to someone seeing the holder for the first time.

Watch the Corgi Phone Holder Tutorial

Follow the step-by-step video for the base, raised corgi pieces, edging, and assembly. Pause during the positioning stages and compare the arrangement with your own phone before securing the parts.

Keep Your Desk Companion in Shape

Weave in the remaining ends securely and check the attachment seams after the first few uses.

Remove the phone before cleaning the holder. Follow the care instructions for both the yarn and the internal materials, and allow the piece to dry fully before testing its support again.

With a flat base, secure joins, and a fit checked against your device, this little corgi can become a cheerful companion for watching crochet tutorials at your desk.
