A charming accessory that makes a lovely gift or a pretty addition to your own everyday carry.
Description
The pouch is worked in a solid sage-green color using a combination of dense and textured stitches. The body has a slim rectangular shape designed to fit a smartphone. The front is decorated with vertical panels of raised bobble or puff stitches, creating soft dimension. Three small cream flower motifs are sewn down the center for a delicate accent. A natural wooden button provides a simple closure at the top, and a long matching strap allows it to be worn crossbody or over the shoulder. The overall design is soft, feminine, and practical.
Suitable for confident beginners to intermediate crocheters who know basic stitches and feel comfortable sewing on small appliqués.

Complete Crochet Instructions
1. Pouch Body (Color A – Sage green)
Option – Worked flat and seamed
Chain 22–26 (or the width needed for your phone plus ease).
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.
Continue working in single crochet until the piece measures approximately 36–40 cm / 14–16 in long (this will be folded in half).
On the front half of the piece, work vertical panels of bobble or puff stitches to create the raised texture shown in the photo.
Fold the piece in half, sew the side seams, and leave the top open.
Alternative – Worked in the round
Make a foundation chain of the desired width, join into a ring, and work continuous rounds of single crochet until the desired height is reached. Add bobble panels on the front as you go.
2. Button Loop & Closure At the center top of the back, create a small chain loop (or buttonhole) to fit your wooden button.
Sew the wooden button securely to the front top edge so it aligns with the loop.
3. Cream Flower Appliqués (make 3 – Color B)
Make a magic ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, 6–8 sc into the ring. Join.
Round 2: Work petals – ch 2, 2–3 dc in next st, ch 2, sl st in next st; repeat around to form 5–6 petals.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Sew the three flowers evenly down the center of the front textured panels.

Chain 140–160 (or desired length).
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.

Sew both ends of the strap securely to the top corners of the pouch.

FAQs
Is this pattern beginner-friendly?
Yes for confident beginners. The body uses basic single crochet, and the flowers are simple and repetitive once you make the first one. Bobble stitches are easy to learn.
What can I carry inside?
Your phone, a couple of cards, lip balm, or other tiny essentials. Perfect as a dedicated phone pouch for hands-free days.
Can I wash the finished pouch?
Yes, if made with cotton or acrylic yarn. Gentle hand wash in cool water is recommended. Reshape and lay flat to dry. Remove the wooden button before washing if preferred.
