Looking for a light and stylish way to carry your phone this season?
These soft open-mesh crochet pouches come in a beautiful range of colours — soft pink, slate blue, mustard yellow, lilac and grey. Each bag features a simple net stitch and a long thin strap, perfect for everyday wear or sunny days out.
Description
These slim crossbody phone bags are crocheted in a classic open mesh stitch that creates a light, breathable and slightly stretchy fabric. The design is minimal and modern: a rectangular pouch with a solid lower section for structure and an open mesh upper section for a delicate look. Available in five versatile colours (dusty pink, slate blue, mustard, soft lilac and grey), each bag has a long matching cord strap that can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. Lightweight and practical, they are ideal for holding a smartphone, cards or small essentials while adding a fresh handmade accent to any outfit.

Pattern Notes
- The bags are worked in a combination of solid single crochet (for the base and lower section) and an open mesh stitch (chains and double crochet) for the upper decorative band.
- The strap is a simple thin cord or chain attached at the upper corners.
- A relaxed but even tension creates a soft, slightly stretchy fabric that still holds its shape.
- Cotton yarn is recommended for breathability, strength and a neat finish.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Begin with a firm base and lower section in single crochet.
- Switch to the open mesh stitch for the middle and upper portion of the bag.
- Finish the top edge neatly.
- 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.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron. These lightweight mesh bags dry quickly and become softer with use.
