Description
This slim crossbody phone bag is carefully crocheted in a dense single crochet stitch that creates a firm, smooth fabric with excellent stitch definition. The body is worked in clean horizontal colour blocks — soft camel beige, deep chocolate brown and warm cream — giving the bag a modern, neutral appearance that pairs effortlessly with any outfit.
The top is finished with a softly curved flap that folds neatly over the opening and closes with a small gold-tone metal snap, keeping your phone safely inside. A long, sturdy braided strap in matching beige allows the bag to be worn comfortably across the body or over the shoulder.
Soft enough to feel pleasant against the skin, yet structured enough to protect your phone, this pouch is ideal for carrying a smartphone, a few cards, cash or other small essentials. Its minimalist design and high-quality handmade finish make it suitable for both casual and slightly dressier looks.

Pattern Notes
- The bag is worked flat or in the round using single crochet throughout for a dense, durable fabric.
- Colour changes are made at the end of rows or rounds to create clean horizontal stripes.
- The flap is shaped with gradual decreases to achieve a smooth, rounded edge.
- The strap is created by braiding several strands of yarn together or by crocheting a thick, firm cord.
- Maintaining firm and even tension is important so the finished bag keeps its rectangular shape and offers good protection for the phone.
- Cotton or cotton-blend yarn is recommended for strength, breathability and a neat appearance.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Main Body: Begin at the bottom and work upward in single crochet, changing colours to form the horizontal stripes (beige, dark brown and cream).
- Flap: Continue from the back of the bag and shape the curved flap using decreases.
- Closure: Attach the metal snap button securely to the flap and corresponding point on the bag body.
- Strap: Create a long braided or crocheted cord and firmly attach both ends to the upper corners of the bag.
- Finishing: Weave in all yarn ends carefully on the wrong side. Gently shape the bag and, if desired, lightly block it so the edges lie flat and neat.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent. Do not wring, twist or scrub.
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 metal snap can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth when needed.
With proper care, this handmade crochet phone bag will keep its shape and beautiful appearance for a long time.
