Pattern Variations:

--I've tested this pattern using several medium (4) weight yarns and a 5mm (H-8 US) hook but theoretically you could use larger or smaller weight yarns instead by modifying the number of stitches in your rows (e.g. a smaller weight would increase the amount of stitches per row and a larger weight would decrease the number of stitches per row). The foundation chain length should be approximately the width of your phone plus 1-1.5 inches on each side to allow for stitching together. If you switch yarn weights, I suggest using the recommended hook for achieving a 4"x4" gauge on the label to keep similar ratios to the original pattern.

--While I prefer to start with a foundation cord, using a foundation chain works just as well!

--If you want a ribbed texture for your pouch, crochet into the back loop only (BLO) of each stitch instead of looping under both.

--To add some fun color contrast, feel free to use other weight yarns for the bag strap and seams!

Part 1: Beginning

(Make 1)

First set of rows! I recommend using either stich markers or a row counter app to keep track of what row you are on, as I got lost pretty quickly my first few times.

Chain on

Ch 22-24 depending on desired width of pouch. Should be approx. width of phone plus 1-1.5 inches on each side

HDC1

Ignoring the ch 1 from step 2, hdc across starting in the last sc from the previous row, making sure that the final amount of stitches matches your number of ch in step 1. Ch 2.

Ignoring the ch 2 from step 3, dc across starting in the last hdc from the previous row, making sure that the final amount of stitches matches your number of ch in step 1. Ch 1.

SC1

sc 22-24 across under both loops, making sure that the final amount of stitches matches your number of ch in step 1. ch 1.

SC2

Sc across starting in the last hdc from the previous row, making sure that the final amount of stitches matches your number of ch in step 1. This marks the end of the first part and establishes the pattern for the rest of the bag.

HDC2

Ignoring the ch 1 from step 4, hdc across starting in the last dc from the previous row, making sure that the final amount of stitches matches your number of ch in step 1.
