Description
This slim phone bag is crocheted in a dense single crochet stitch using soft beige yarn, creating a firm yet gentle fabric that protects the phone inside. The bag is shaped like a bear’s head and body, with two round ears on top. Each ear has a darker brown inner circle for extra detail.
The face features large black safety eyes framed by brown crochet glasses, a cream-coloured muzzle, a small brown nose and a simple embroidered smile. The overall expression is friendly and slightly studious, giving the bag lots of personality. A long, thin braided strap in matching beige allows the pouch to be worn comfortably across the body or over the shoulder.
Soft, lightweight and full of character, this bear phone bag is ideal for carrying a smartphone, a few cards or other small essentials. It also makes a wonderful handmade gift for animal lovers of all ages.
