Materials Needed
- 2.5mm rope yarn, slightly more than one ball (depending on phone size)
- D-rings
- A little chain
Base of the Bag
Starting Chain: Begin with a row of chain stitches. The width should be slightly bigger than your phone. Adjust the number of chain stitches based on your phone’s size and desired bag width.
Continuing Rows: Continue with single crochets to the end of the row, chain two, and turn the work. Keep repeating this pattern until the base is complete.
Transition to Sides
Forming Sides: Start the sides with one chain stitch, followed by another. Poke the hook into the respective loop and create a single crochet.
Side Rounds: Continue working in rounds using the small loops at the end of rows until you have encircled the bag.
Body of the Bag
Stitch Transition: At the end of a round, switch back to single crochets. Continue with single crochets until the bag reaches a height that will comfortably fit your phone.
Top Edge: To define the top edge, work only in the back loops to create a ridge.
Top Flap and Closure
Flap Beginning: Start the top flap with single crochets. Ensure the stitches slightly overlap the sides of the bag for a proper fit.
Flap Construction: Continue with single crochets along the top flap, turning at each end with a chain stitch and working back loops only for definition.
Pockets
Front Pocket: Create a front pocket by crocheting a panel as wide and as high as the bag’s front, sewing on the sides after attaching the closure knob.
Back Pocket: Repeat the process for a back pocket.
Finishing Touches
Top Edging: Continue with your established pattern until the top flap is the correct size, then sew on the little chain.
Installing Closure: Attach the closure knob by anchoring it with yarn on the inside, ensuring the metal spikes are not visible.
Final Assembly: Sew all parts together to complete your clutch bag.
