Step by Step Pattern Instructions
Bag Body: Foundation & First Row
- Start with the foundation chains:
Make a slip knot, then chain 25 chains.
- Row 1:
- Skip 4 chains from the hook.
- Work 1 double crochet (dc) into the 5th chain.
- Chain 1 (ch 1), skip 1 chain, and work 1 dc into the next chain.
- Repeat the sequence (ch 1, skip 1, dc in the next chain) until you reach the last chain.
- Use a stitch marker to mark the second chain for the slip stitch point.
- At the last chain, chain 1, and make 3 double crochets (dc) in the same chain (to create the curve for the base).
- Work across the other side by crocheting 1 dc in each chain. Chain 1, skip 1 chain, dc in the next stitch. Repeat.
- When you reach the starting point, end with a slip stitch at the marked chain.
Subsequent Rows: Building the Bag Body
- Row 2:
- Chain up 3. Use the stitch marker to mark the second chain in this row.
- Turn your work, and skip the first chain 1 space.
- Work a double crochet (dc) into the next dc stitch. Chain 1, skip 1 chain, and repeat the sequence (dc in next dc, ch 1). End with a slip stitch in the marked chain.
- Rows 3 to 19:
Continue the same process as Row 2. These rows will build the height of the bag. Chain up 3 at the start of each row, skipping chain 1 spaces, and work into double crochets with chain 1 gaps. End each row with a slip stitch, as before.
Strap Creation
- Foundation:
- Chain 1 and make 1 single crochet (sc).
- Use your finger to hold the yarn and create a loop by chaining 1. Insert your hook into the finger loop and work a single crochet (sc).
- Length:
- Repeat the above process, crocheting loops and creating an extended single crochet strap. Continue this process until the strap reaches around 100 cm or more, based on your preference.
- Finishing the Strap:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use the yarn needle to secure the tail and weave it in.
- Attach the strap to the bag’s sides by tying the ends securely.
Bag Closure
- Creating the Loop:
- On Row 3 of the bag body, attach the yarn with a slip stitch.
- Chain 20 chains, then skip 9 chains.
- Work single crochets (sc) into the remaining chains and slip stitch to the starting point.
- Decorative Button:
- Make a slip knot and chain 6 chains.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first chain to create a circle.
- Chain 1 and work single crochets (sc) into the circle.
- Complete the round with a slip stitch.
- Use the tail of the yarn to close the hole at the center and sew it onto the bag’s front, completing the closure.
Tips for Success
- Measuring Your Phone:
Adjust the foundation chain and rows to ensure the bag fits your specific phone size. Add or reduce rows to make it larger or smaller as needed. - Strap Styling:
You can customize the strap length to wear it as a crossbody bag or a short handle purse. Work longer chains or additional single crochets to achieve the desired length. - Adding Color:
Use different yarn colors to create a striped or gradient design for a unique flair.
Customization Ideas
- Add embellishments like small crochet flowers or tassels.
- Crochet a small inner pocket to hold coins or keys inside the bag.
- Use thicker yarn for a sturdier version or lighter weight yarn for a daintier look.
