    Step 1: Make a Granny Square<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A granny square is the basic building block. Here\u2019s a simple way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Start with a Magic Ring<\/strong> (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Round 1:<\/strong> Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then make 2 double crochets into the ring, chain 2, 3 double crochets into the ring, chain 2<\/em> \u2013 repeat 4 times. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first chain 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Round 2:<\/strong> Slip stitch into the first chain-2 space, chain 3, 2 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets (this forms a corner). 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets into each corner space<\/em> \u2013 repeat around. Join with slip stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Round 3+:<\/strong> Repeat Round 2 until your square is the size you want for your phone bag. Usually, 3\u20134 rounds make a small bag.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Tip:<\/strong> Use contrasting colors for each round to make your bag more stylish.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Step 2: Make Two Squares<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You\u2019ll need two granny squares of the same size<\/strong> for the front and back of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Join the Squares<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      There are two ways to join:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Single Crochet Join<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Place the squares wrong sides together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Insert your hook through both edges and single crochet along the sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Whip Stitch Join (simpler for beginners)<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Use a yarn needle to stitch through the edges of both squares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sew 3 sides of the squares together. The open side will be the top of your bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Make the Strap<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            You have a few options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Crochet Chain Strap<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Chain until the strap is your desired length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Attach both ends to the top corners of the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Optional: reinforce by single crocheting back along the chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Use a Leather Strap<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                • Simply sew or crochet the ends of the strap to the top corners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  Step 5: Add a Closure (Optional)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • You can add a button and loop<\/strong>:\n
                      \n
                    • Sew a button on the front top center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Make a small chain loop from the back to go over the button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Or leave it open for easy access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n
                      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                      Step 6: Finishing Touches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Adjust the shape by gently stretching or blocking the bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n\n\n\n

                        Tips for an Easy Version<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • Use bigger yarn and hook<\/strong> \u2013 it makes the granny squares faster to crochet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Keep it simple with 2 rounds per square<\/strong> if you want a tiny phone bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Stick to one or two colors<\/strong> to reduce weaving in ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                          \n\n\n\n
