Looking for an elegant, delicate and practical way to carry your phone?
This soft cream crochet crossbody pouch features an intricate all-over daisy lace pattern, a mother-of-pearl button closure and a row of neat fringe tassels along the bottom. Lightweight, feminine and fully handmade, it is perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
Description
This slim phone bag is crocheted in a fine openwork daisy stitch that creates a beautiful repeating floral lace pattern across the entire surface. Worked in soft cream or natural cotton yarn, the fabric is light and airy while still offering enough structure to protect a smartphone.
A gently shaped flap folds over the top and closes with a single mother-of-pearl button, giving the bag a refined vintage-inspired look. The bottom edge is finished with a row of small, evenly spaced tassels that add soft movement and a decorative touch. A long matching braided strap allows the bag to be worn comfortably across the body or over the shoulder.
Delicate yet practical, this pouch is ideal for carrying a phone, a few cards or other small essentials. Its intricate stitch work and timeless cream colour make it a charming handmade accessory and a lovely gift.

Pattern Notes
- The bag is worked in a repeating daisy or flower lace motif that creates the open floral pattern.
- The flap is shaped as an extension of the back and finished with a simple buttonhole or loop.
- The bottom fringe is made by attaching short lengths of yarn evenly along the lower edge.
- The strap is braided or crocheted as a firm, rounded cord and sewn securely to the top corners.
- Maintaining even tension is important so the lace pattern looks neat and the bag keeps a clean rectangular shape.
- Cotton yarn is ideal for clear stitch definition, breathability and a soft hand feel.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Begin at the bottom and work upward in the daisy lace stitch pattern until the desired height is reached.
- Shape the front flap and create a buttonhole or loop for the pearl button.
- Sew on the mother-of-pearl button.
- Attach a row of small tassels evenly along the bottom edge.
- Create the long braided strap and sew both ends securely to the upper corners of the bag.
- Weave in all yarn ends carefully on the inside. Gently block or shape the finished pouch so the lace lies flat and the tassels hang evenly.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring or scrub the lace or tassels.
Reshape the bag while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do not tumble dry or iron.
The pearl button can be wiped clean with a soft cloth if needed.
