Looking for a light, elegant and practical way to carry your phone?
This soft beige crochet phone pouch features a delicate openwork (lace) stitch pattern that creates a beautiful textured surface. Finished with a matching braided strap and a long decorative tassel, it is airy, stylish and perfect for everyday wear.
Description
This slim crossbody phone bag is crocheted in a repeating openwork stitch that forms neat rows of V-shaped or fan-like motifs across the entire surface. Worked in a soft natural beige or light taupe yarn, the fabric is light and breathable while still offering enough structure to protect a smartphone. The open lace pattern gives the bag a refined, slightly bohemian appearance that feels both handmade and contemporary.
A long braided strap in the same beige shade is attached directly to the top corners, allowing the bag to be worn comfortably across the body or over the shoulder. A matching tassel hangs from one side of the strap, adding soft movement and a classic finishing detail. Soft to the touch yet sturdy enough for daily use, this pouch is ideal for carrying a phone, a few cards or other small essentials. Its neutral colour and delicate texture make it a versatile accessory that pairs easily with many outfits.

Pattern Notes
- The bag is worked in a repeating openwork stitch pattern (commonly a combination of double crochet and chain spaces that form V-stitches or small fans).
- The lower edge and top border are often finished in solid single crochet for extra stability.
- The strap is created by braiding several strands of yarn together or by crocheting a firm rounded cord.
- The tassel is made from the same yarn and attached to the strap with a simple wrap or knot.
- Maintaining even tension is important so the openwork pattern looks neat and the bag keeps a clean rectangular shape.
- Cotton or cotton-blend yarn is recommended for clear stitch definition, breathability and durability.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Begin at the bottom with a solid foundation row or round in single crochet.
- Switch to the openwork stitch pattern and work upward until the bag reaches the desired height.
- Finish the top edge with a neat border of single crochet.
- Create the long braided strap and attach both ends securely to the upper corners of the bag.
- Make the matching tassel and fix it to one side of the strap.
- Weave in all yarn ends carefully on the inside. Gently block or shape the finished pouch so the openwork pattern lies even and the sides are straight.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring or twist.
Reshape the bag while it is still damp and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Do not tumble dry or iron.
The tassel can be gently reshaped with the fingers if needed.
