Here\u2019s a simple way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start with a Magic Ring<\/strong> (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 1:<\/strong> Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then make 2 double crochets into the ring, chain 2, <em>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<li><strong>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). <em>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<li><strong>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<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Use contrasting colors for each round to make your bag more stylish.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ninedrama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/maxres3-25-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ninedrama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/maxres3-25-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ninedrama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/maxres3-25-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ninedrama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/maxres3-25-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ninedrama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/maxres3-25.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Make Two Squares<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need <strong>two granny squares of the same size<\/strong> for the front and back of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Join the Squares<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to join:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single Crochet Join<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place the squares wrong sides together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insert your hook through both edges and single crochet along the sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whip Stitch Join (simpler for beginners)<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a yarn needle to stitch through the edges of both squares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sew 3 sides of the squares together.
