      Step 1: Crochet Granny Squares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Start with a magic ring<\/strong> or chain 4 and join to form a ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc into ring, chain 1, repeat 3 more times (total 4 clusters), join with sl st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Round 2: Slip stitch into first chain-1 space, chain 3, 2 dc in same space, chain 1, 3 dc in next chain-1 space, chain 1<\/em>, repeat around, join with sl st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Round 3: Repeat the same pattern in each chain-1 corner space until the square reaches desired size for your phone bag<\/strong> (usually 10\u201312 cm per square).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Make 2 granny squares<\/strong> of the same size: one for the front and one for the back.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Join the Squares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Place squares together with wrong sides facing inward<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Use single crochet or slip stitch to join three sides, leaving the top open for the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Keep stitches tight for durability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Create the Bag Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Single crochet evenly around the top edge for a clean finish<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Optional: Add a few rounds of sc or hdc for reinforcement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Make the Strap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Decide the desired strap length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Chain enough stitches for the strap length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Attach the chain to the opposite side of the bag using single crochet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Work one round of sc along the chain for sturdiness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n

              Alternative: Make two straps for a mini crossbody style.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Step 5: Add Closure (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Button:<\/strong> Sew a button on the front and make a chain loop on the top flap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Snap:<\/strong> Attach a snap for convenience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Velcro:<\/strong> Sew a small Velcro piece to keep the bag closed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Step 6: Finish the Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Fasten off the yarn and weave in all loose ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Optional: Decorate with tassels, beads, or small crochet flowers for a cute touch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
