Making The Crochet Phone Bag
Materials Needed
- Crochet yarn
- Crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Button
- Yarn needle
Bag Base
- Start with a slip knot and chain 21 (or any multiple of 2 plus one for a bigger size).
- For row 1, skip one chain and make a single crochet (sc) in the next. Continue making sc in each chain to the end. In the last loop, make 4 sc for an increase.
- Continue sc in each stitch around until you reach the last stitch. Make another 4 sc in the last loop for another increase. Slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to join.
Body of the Bag
- For rows 2 to 6, chain 1 (not counted as a stitch) and make sc in each stitch around. Sl st to the first sc to join.
- To Ensure The Slip Stitch Part Looks Straight: Beginning from row 3, skip the first stitch next to the chain-1 and start making your sc in the next stitch. At the end of the row, if you skipped the first stitch, make an sc in the small loop near the chain-1. If you didn't skip the first stitch, skip the small loop near the chain-1. Repeat this tip through row 6.
Cross Double Crochet Stitch Pattern
- Start row 7 by chaining 3 (not counted as a stitch). Skip one stitch, then make a double crochet (dc) in the next stitch. Next, make a dc across into the stitch you skipped. This creates the cross double crochet stitch. Repeat this pattern around.
- Row 8, chain 1 then make sc in each stitch around. Sl st to the first sc to join.
- Repeat alternating row 7 (cross double crochet stitch) and row 8 (sc row) until you reach row 23.
Finishing The Body
- For rows 24 to 26, simply chain 1 and make sc in each stitch around. Sl st to join.
Button Hole
- For row 27, chain 1 and make sc in the next 7 stitches or until middle part of your bag is reached. In the middle part, chain 14 for the buttonhole, then continue making sc around and sl st to join. Chain 1 and cut off the yarn.
Making Tassels
- Wrap yarn around your hand 6 times (or around cardboard for specific lengths/thickness). Cut off the yarn.
Making the Button
- Start with a magic ring. For row 1, chain 1 (not counted as a stitch) and make 10 sc in the ring. Pull string to close but leave a small hole. Sl st to join.
- For row 2, chain 1 then make 15 sc into the ring. Sl st to join. Chain 1, leave a long tail of yarn, and cut it off.
Strap
- Attach yarn to the corner of the bag, leaving 3 stitches at the corner. Make 200 chains (or more for a longer strap). Ensure the chain does not twist, then attach it to the opposite corner with a sl st.
- For the strap pattern, chain 1 then make a half-double crochet three together (hdc3tog) in the same loop. Follow this by a sl st in the next chain. Repeat this pattern until the end of the row. Finish with a sl st in the third stitch from the end, chain 1, and cut off the yarn.
And that concludes the pattern for the crochet phone bag. Happy crafting!
