Looking for a stylish, practical and elegant way to carry your phone every day?
This soft crochet crossbody pouch features a rich burgundy body framed by a clean beige border, a neat fold-over flap with a silver snap closure, and a matching beige strap. Minimalist yet refined, it is perfect for everyday use and pairs beautifully with both casual and slightly dressier outfits.
Description
This slim phone bag is carefully crocheted in a dense single crochet stitch that creates a firm, smooth fabric with excellent structure and stitch definition. The main body is worked in a deep burgundy / wine colour, while a contrasting beige border runs around the entire edge and forms the flap, giving the bag a polished, finished look.
The flap folds neatly over the top and closes with a small silver-tone metal snap, keeping your phone secure. A long beige cord strap is attached with silver metal rings, allowing the bag to be worn comfortably across the body or over the shoulder. The strap is fully adjustable for the perfect fit.
Soft to the touch yet sturdy enough to protect your phone, this pouch is ideal for carrying a smartphone, a few cards, cash or other small essentials. Its classic colour combination and clean design make it a timeless handmade accessory and a thoughtful gift.

Pattern Notes
- The main body is worked in single crochet for a dense, protective fabric.
- The beige border is added after the body is complete, using single crochet or a simple crab stitch for a neat edge.
- The flap is shaped as an extension of the back and finished with the same beige border.
- The strap is crocheted as a firm, rounded cord and attached with metal rings for durability and a clean look.
- Maintaining firm and even tension is important so the bag keeps its rectangular shape and offers good protection for the phone.
- Cotton or cotton-blend yarn is recommended for strength, breathability and clear stitch definition.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Crochet the main rectangular body in burgundy single crochet.
- Add the beige border around all edges, continuing it to form the fold-over flap.
- Install the silver metal snap closure on the flap and corresponding point on the bag body.
- Create the long beige cord strap and attach it to the upper corners using silver metal rings.
- Weave in all yarn ends carefully on the inside. Gently shape the bag so the edges lie neat and the flap closes smoothly.
