🧵 Step-by-Step Crochet Phone Bag Instructions

🟣 Step 1: Make the Base Chain (Width of the Bag)

1. Ch 16 (or chain the width of your phone + 1 inch for seam/room).
2. Add 1 more chain for turning. (Total = 17 ch)

🟣 Step 2: Crochet the Body (Height)

We’ll use single crochet (sc) for a sturdy texture.

1. Row 1: In the 2nd ch from hook, sc across. (16 sc)
2. Ch 1, turn.
3. Row 2 to Row 35 (or desired height): Sc in each st across, ch 1, turn.

✅ This creates a rectangle roughly twice the height of your phone.

🟣 Step 3: Fold & Sew

1. Fold the rectangle in half (width-wise) so the short ends meet.
2. Use slip stitch or whip stitch to:
   • Sew one side closed
   • Sew the bottom closed
     (Leave the top open for your phone!)

✂️ Fasten off and weave in all ends with a yarn needle.

🟣 Step 4: Add the Strap

Option 1: Simple Chain Strap

1. Join yarn at the top side of the bag.
2. Ch 90–120 (adjust for length: shoulder or crossbody).
3. Attach to the opposite top corner with sl st.
4. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Option 2: Thicker Strap

1. Ch 5.
2. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (4 sc).
3. Ch 1, turn. Repeat rows until desired length.
4. Sew ends of the strap to the top sides of the bag.

🟣 Step 5: Add Optional Closure

• Sew a button on the front, and chain a small loop to close.
• Or, add a snap for extra security.

🎨 Customization Ideas

• Use striped yarn or alternate colors every few rows.
• Add decorative buttons, patches, or embroidery.
• Add a pocket on the front using a small rectangle.

🧼 Washing Instructions

• If using acrylic: Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry.
• If using cotton: Washable and durable – great for daily use.
