🧶 What You’ll Need

Item	Description
Yarn	Worsted weight (Category 4) cotton or acrylic – 2 colors (Color A & B), approx. 30g each
Crochet Hook	4.0 mm (G) or appropriate size for your yarn
Scissors	For trimming
Yarn Needle	For weaving in ends
Button/Snap	Optional, for closure
Measuring Tape	To measure your phone size

📌 Skill Level: Beginner

You’ll use only basic stitches, so this is a great project even if you’ve just started crocheting.

✨ Key Techniques Used:

Chain (ch)
Single Crochet (sc)
Color Changing
Crocheting in the Round
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Sewing a button or snap (optional)

📏 Step 1: Measure Your Phone

Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure your phone:

Width
Height

Example:

If your phone is 8 cm wide and 16 cm tall, your pouch should be approx:

Width: 9–10 cm (allow for stretch)
Height: 17–18 cm (a little taller to allow for closure flap)

🎨 Step 2: Choose Your Two Colors

Color A (Bottom Half)
Color B (Top Half)

High contrast looks bold and modern, while soft pastels give a cute, minimalist vibe.

🧵 Step 3: Crochet the Pouch Body

We’ll work in the round, starting from the bottom and going up.

🪡 Foundation Chain:

Chain a length equal to the width of your phone + 1 cm (e.g., ch 20 for approx. 9 cm).
Single crochet in 2nd chain from hook and across. This is the first side.
Don’t turn — rotate your work and continue sc along the opposite side of the chain (you’re working in an oval).
You should now have stitches on both sides of the foundation chain — forming an oval base.

🧶 Round Body:

Continue working in a spiral (no joining at the end of each round).
Rounds 1–8 (Color A): sc in each stitch around to form the bottom half of the pouch.
Change to Color B (pull new color through the last loop of the last sc of the round).
Rounds 9–16 (Color B): continue sc in the round until you reach the desired height.

🔁 You can add or reduce rounds based on your phone height.

🧷 Step 4: Optional Flap Closure

Once the pouch is tall enough, you can add a simple flap:

Continue with Color B.
Flatten the pouch and identify the center 10–12 stitches on one side.
Work rows of single crochet across those stitches only.
- Row 1: sc across (e.g., 12 sc), ch 1, turn.
- Row 2–5: Repeat, decreasing 1 stitch on each side to taper.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

🔘 Step 5: Add Closure (Optional)

Button: Sew a button on the body, and make a loop on the flap (ch 10 and sl st to form a loop).
Snap: Use a magnetic or sew-on snap for easy opening.
Velcro: Stitch or glue a Velcro patch to secure the flap.

🪢 Step 6: Add a Strap (Optional)

Want to carry it as a crossbody or wristlet?

Strap Options:

Wrist Strap:
- Ch 40–50, sc back across.
- Attach to one side of the pouch.
Crossbody Strap:
- Ch 120–140, sc back across.
- Attach ends to both top sides of pouch.

✨ Customization Ideas

🌈 Stripes: Alternate Color A and B every few rounds.
💖 Appliqués: Add a heart, flower, or star appliqué to the front.
