Step-by-Step Instructions
- Starting Chain: Begin by chaining 16 stitches. This chain length fits standard smartphones; you can adjust it according to your phone size.
- Base Row: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across the row. You should have 15 single crochets.
- Building the Sides: Turn your work, making one chain stitch. Single crochet into each stitch across for the next 27 rows or until your piece reaches slightly longer than your phone height.
- Creating the Flap: Decrease the width by one stitch at each beginning and end of the row for the next 4 rows. Continue without decreasing until the flap is about 2-3 inches long.
- Finishing the Bag: Fold the flat piece with the right side inwards and slip stitch the sides together, starting from the base. Once done, turn the bag right way out.
- Adding the Strap: Chain to your desired length for the strap, join the chain ends, and slip stitch the strap onto the upper corners of the bag.
- Final Touches: Weave in any loose ends using the tapestry needle.
