Step 1: Make the Granny Squares
You will usually need 2 granny squares (front and back).
- Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch).
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- Work 2 double crochets, chain 2.
- Repeat 3 double crochets + chain 2 three more times.
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain.
- For the next round, change colors if you like.
- In each corner space, work:
- 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets
- Join and fasten off when the square is the size of your phone.
Make two identical squares.
Step 2: Join the Squares
- Place the two granny squares wrong sides together.
- Use single crochet or whip stitch to join three sides.
- Leave the top side open (this is where the phone goes in).
- Fasten off and weave in loose ends.
Step 3: Create the Strap
Option 1: Crochet Strap
- Attach yarn to one side of the bag.
- Chain until the strap is your desired length (usually 90–110 chains).
- Single crochet back along the chain.
- 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

- Leave it open for easy access
Step 5: Finishing Touches
