 How to Crochet a Flower Granny Square Phone Bag

Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on How to Make a Crochet Flower Granny Square Phone Bag. This DIY project is perfect for beginner to intermediate crocheters and creates a cute, stylish, and functional accessory.


  • Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or acrylic yarn in 2-3 colors (e.g., one for the flower, one for the square, one for border/strap)
  • Hook: 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch marker (optional)

1. Crochet the Flower Granny Squares

You’ll need to crochet two identical flower granny squares — one for the front and one for the back.

  1. Make a magic ring.
  2. Ch 2 (counts as first dc), then work 11 dc into the ring.
  3. Join with a sl st into the top of the beginning ch-2.
  4. (12 dc total)
  1. Ch 2, 2 dc in same st, ch 2, sl st in same st (first petal made).
  2. Repeat in each dc around to make 12 petals.
  3. Fasten off the flower color.
  1. Join square color yarn in any ch-2 space behind a petal.
  2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same sp.
  3. In the next 2 spaces, work 3 dc each.
  4. In the 4th space (corner), work 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc.
  5. Repeat pattern around to make a square.
  6. Join with sl st and fasten off or continue for another round to enlarge.

Optional: Add more rounds for a bigger bag — just continue granny square-style, adding dc clusters and corners.


2. Assemble the Bag

  1. Lay the two granny squares wrong sides facing in.
  2. With a contrasting or matching yarn, sc (or sl st) around three sides of the squares to join them.
  3. Leave the top side open.

3. Add the Strap

You have a few strap options:

  • Ch a long chain to your desired length (e.g., 100–120 chains for a crossbody).
  • Sc or sl st in each chain across for a thicker strap.
  • Sew each end of the strap securely to the inside top corners of the bag.
  • Cut 3 long yarn strands (3 times the desired finished length).
  • Knot and braid them.
  • Attach each end to the bag securely.

4. Finishing Touches

  • Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
  • Block the bag if needed for a neater shape.

  • To fit larger phones, make the granny squares bigger or add a few plain dc rows around the square before assembling.
  • For a mini bag, reduce the number of rounds.

  • Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water if using washable yarn.
  • Lay flat to dry.

  • Add a zipper or button closure.
  • Line the bag with fabric for extra sturdiness.
  • Embellish with beads, tassels, or appliqué.
