Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Create the Base (Worked in Rounds)
- Start with a magic ring. Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Pull the ring tight and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (8 stitches)
- Round 2: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch). Work 2 sc into each stitch around. Join with a sl st. (16 stitches)
- Round 3: Chain 1. (1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next) repeat around. Join with a sl st. Continue increasing until you achieve a circle matching the size of your phone’s base.
Step 2: Build the Body
- Round 1: Once the base is complete, chain 1. Work 1 sc into each stitch around without increasing. Join with a sl st.
- Continue working in rounds until the bag reaches the desired height (enough to hold your phone). Change yarn colors as desired to add stripes.
Step 3: Add the Strap
- Decide the strap length (e.g., crossbody or shoulder-length).
- Attach yarn to one side of the bag’s opening. Chain to the desired length.
- Slip stitch into the opposite side of the bag’s opening to secure the strap.
- Turn and work single crochets along the chain to make the strap sturdier. Slip stitch into the starting point to finish. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Step 4: Crochet a Flower
- Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
- Round 1: Work 8 sc into the ring.
- Round 2: (Chain 3, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch into the next stitch) repeat around to create 4 chain loops.
- In each chain loop, (1 sc, 2 dc, 1 sc) to form petals. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Attach your flower to the front of the bag.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Weave in any loose ends.
- Add optional decorations like beads, tassels, or additional flowers.
