Elegant Crochet Cell Phone Bag Pattern to Pair With Accessories

Uses and Materials Details

  • Uses of the Project: Use this compact bag to store your cell phone, and utilize the front pocket for essential items like documents, cards, money, or coins. The finished bag is excellent for personal use, gifting, or selling.

  • Materials You Need:

    • Yarn: Amigurumi yarn is used (Porcelana color in the video), but you can use any yarn of your preference, including cotton yarn or t-shirt yarn. The project uses very little yarn (the finished bag weighs approximately 48 grams of Amigurumi yarn).

    • Crochet Hook: 3 mm crochet hook.

    • Tools: Scissors, a tapestry needle (for weaving in ends and securing the strap).

    • Closure: One decorative pearl or button to serve as the flap closure.

Special Features Details

  • Seamless Construction: The main body and the pocket are joined and constructed entirely with crochet stitches, eliminating the need for conventional needle-and-thread sewing for assembly.

  • Invisible Seam: The tutorial demonstrates an advanced technique for closing rounds of half-double crochet or double crochet that prevents the unsightly vertical seam line often found in spiral or joined crochet work, resulting in a cleaner finish.

  • Integrated Pocket: The functional front pocket is created by working slip stitches directly into the fabric of the main bag body and then working in rows off that line, integrating the pocket seamlessly.

  • Durable Strap: The strap uses a technique of alternating chain-3 and a double crochet into the previous double crochet to form a strong, braided cord effect.

Level of Difficulty Details

This is an Intermediate project. You should be familiar with basic stitches (chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet) and techniques. The main difficulty lies in:

  • Working in the back loop only (BLO).

  • Creating a flat oval base.

  • Executing the special "invisible seam" joining method for the body rounds.

  • Attaching pieces using slip stitch "seaming."

Tutor's Suggestions Details

  • Adjust Height: The total height of the bag (16 rows of double crochet) is a suggestion; measure the piece against your cell phone to ensure it is the correct size before completing the final rounds.

  • Tension for Base: When making the base, ensure you work tight stitches to avoid large gaps in the oval.

  • Invisible Seam Technique: If you are unsure about the invisible seam technique, re-watch the specific section where the tutor demonstrates starting and finishing the double crochet rounds, as this is key to the bag's finished look.

  • Pocket Placement: Be sure to align the piece properly before starting the slip stitch row for the pocket, counting three rows up from the base and starting one stitch over from the corner for proper centering.

  • Strap Length: The tutor made 75 sets of chain-3/double crochet for her strap, but you should measure the strap length against the person who will use the bag for a perfect fit.

Tip

Reinforce the Strap Joins: Since the strap bears the weight of the phone and contents, use a tapestry needle and the yarn tail to sew the strap ends to the bag after making the final slip stitch. Pass the needle back and forth through the loops of the strap and the bag several times to create a strong, durable anchor, ensuring the strap will not break under daily use.
