Looking for a light and elegant way to carry your phone?
These soft crochet phone pouches are worked in a delicate open mesh stitch and come in three neutral shades — cream, beige and soft grey. Each one features a small pearl-style button closure and a long thin strap, perfect for everyday wear.
Description
These slim crossbody pouches are crocheted using a combination of solid and open mesh stitches that create a light, airy fabric. The upper section is worked in an open lace pattern while the lower part is denser for better structure and phone protection. Available in three versatile neutral colours (cream, warm beige and taupe grey), each pouch closes with a simple loop and a small pearl-effect button. A long matching cord strap allows comfortable crossbody or shoulder wear. Lightweight and stylish, they are ideal for carrying a smartphone, cards or small essentials while adding a refined handmade touch to any outfit.

Pattern Notes
- The pouches are worked in rows or rounds, combining solid single crochet sections with an open mesh (chain spaces and double crochet) for the decorative band.
- The button loop is created as part of the top edge.
- The strap is a simple thin cord or braided chain attached at the upper corners.
- A consistent, slightly firm tension helps the pouch keep its neat rectangular shape while remaining soft and flexible.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Crochet the main body, working the solid lower section first, then the open mesh band, and finishing with a solid top edge.
- Create a small button loop on the top edge.
- Sew on the pearl-style button.
- Make the long thin strap and attach it securely to both upper corners.
- Weave in all ends carefully and gently block or shape the finished pouch.
