Looking for a stylish, colourful and practical way to carry your phone?
This soft crochet phone pouch is made from classic granny squares in warm brown, soft light blue and cream. Finished with a curved flap, a braided multi-colour strap, a sweet heart charm and matching tassels, it is a charming everyday accessory full of handmade character.
Description
This slim crossbody phone bag is constructed from granny squares worked in three complementary colours: rich chocolate brown, gentle sky blue and creamy off-white. The squares are joined to form a neat rectangular body with a beautiful circular floral motif at the centre of each square. A gently curved flap in matching colours folds over the top and closes securely, keeping the phone safe inside.
A long braided strap in light blue and brown is attached with antique-brass metal clasps and D-rings, allowing the bag to be worn comfortably across the body or over the shoulder. Two decorative tassels complete the look: one features a soft cream crochet heart charm with a light-blue tassel, while the other is a simple leather-style tassel. Soft yet structured, the pouch is ideal for carrying a smartphone, a few cards, keys or other small essentials. Its warm, coordinated colour palette and detailed granny-square design make it a versatile handmade accessory and a lovely gift.

Pattern Notes
- The bag is built from individual granny squares that are joined together to form the front, back and flap.
- Each square features a classic circular flower motif in the three chosen colours.
- The flap is shaped as an extension of the back or made separately and sewn on.
- The strap is created by braiding strands of the light-blue and brown yarn for a strong, decorative cord.
- The heart charm is crocheted separately and attached to a tassel with a metal clasp.
- A consistent tension helps the squares lie flat and the finished bag keep a neat rectangular shape.
- Cotton or cotton-blend yarn is recommended for durability, clear stitch definition and a pleasant natural feel.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Crochet several granny squares in the brown, blue and cream colour sequence.
- Join the squares to form the main body of the pouch and shape the curved flap.
- Add a neat border around the entire piece in light blue or brown.
- Create the long braided strap and attach it to the upper corners using metal clasps and D-rings.
- Make the cream heart charm and the matching tassels, then attach them to the side of the bag.
- Weave in all yarn ends carefully on the inside. Gently shape the finished pouch so the granny-square motifs sit neatly and the flap closes smoothly.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent. Do not wring or scrub the motifs.
Reshape the bag while damp and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do not tumble dry or iron.
Wipe the metal hardware and leather tassel with a soft dry cloth as needed.
