Materials Needed

  • Medium-weight yarn (cotton or acrylic works well)
  • Crochet hook (usually 4–5 mm, depending on yarn)

Step 1: Make the Granny Squares

You will usually need 2 granny squares (front and back).

  1. Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch).
  2. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
  3. Work 2 double crochets, chain 2.
  4. Repeat 3 double crochets + chain 2 three more times.
  5. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.
  6. For the next round, change colors if you like.
  7. In each corner space, work:
    • 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets
  8. Join and fasten off when the square is the size of your phone.

Make two identical squares.


Step 2: Join the Squares

  1. Place the two granny squares wrong sides together.
  2. Use single crochet or whip stitch to join three sides.
  3. Leave the top side open (this is where the phone goes in).
  4. Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Step 3: Create the Strap

Option 1: Crochet Strap

  1. Attach yarn to one side of the bag.
  2. Chain until the strap is your desired length (usually 90–110 chains).
  3. Single crochet back along the chain.
  4. Attach to the other side of the bag.

Option 2: Cord or Chain Strap

  • Use a braided yarn cord or ready-made strap and sew it on.

Step 4: Add a Closure (Optional)

  • Sew a button and loop
  • Add a drawstring
  • Leave it open for easy access

Step 5: Finishing Touches

  • Weave in all loose yarn ends.
  • Adjust the size if needed.
  • Add decorations like tassels, beads, or flowers.

Tips for Beginners
