1. Materials Needed
To start the project, gather the following supplies:
- Yarns: Two types of yarn with a thickness of approximately 3-4 mm, such as a beige main color and smaller amounts of secondary colors (5g) for details.
- Tools: A 3.5mm crochet hook, scissors, and a yarn needle.
- Decorations/Hardware: Two rings for the handle strap and a brooch or button for fastening.
Step-by-Step Details
2. Making the Main Bag Pieces
- Step 1: Begin with a slip knot and chain 20 stitches (approx. 10 cm wide). Adjust the number of chains depending on the size of your phone, allowing a 1 cm margin on both sides.
- Step 2: Add three extra chains for height and crochet the first row using double crochets. Repeat rows of pure double crochets until the height reaches 17.5 cm or the desired size.
- Step 3: Create two identical rectangular pieces to form the front and back of the bag.
3. Crafting the Front Pocket
- Step 1: Make a smaller rectangular piece for the extra pocket, using the same method as the main pieces, but with fewer rows (approx. 9 cm high). Add decorative color changes using half-double crochet rows.
- Step 2: Alternate colors and finish with double crochet for a clean edge. This pocket adds an extra layer of functionality to the bag.
4. Adding the Daisy Flower Decoration
- Step 1: Use a magic ring to create the center of the flower with yellow or orange yarn. Crochet 12 half-double crochets for the foundation.
- Step 2: Attach white yarn (or another preferred color) to make the petals. Form loops with five chains and slip stitches to shape each petal.
- Step 3: Repeat until you have 12-13 petals. Sew the flower onto the pocket or another preferred spot on the bag.
5. Assembling the Bag
- Step 1: Place the two main rectangles on top of each other and attach them with half-double crochets along the edges. Insert the smaller pocket piece during assembly, if desired.
- Step 2: Secure the rings for the strap by incorporating them into the stitches at the sides of the bag.
6. Creating the Strap
- Step 1: Chain three (or more for a wider strap) and use a looping technique to create a sturdy handle.
- Step 2: Repeat rows until the strap reaches your desired length (e.g., 1.1 meters). Attach the strap to the rings on the bag.
7. Adding the Fastener
- Step 1: Use a pre-made brooch or button as the fastener. Attach it to the main bag using its tabs or sew it with a yarn needle.
- Step 2: Ensure that the positioning allows the front pocket to close securely.
Special Features
- Customizable Size: The bag can be resized for different phone models or used for other items.
- Decorative Details: The daisy flower and color-blocking add charm and personality to the design.
- Functional Design: Includes a secure closure, an optional pocket, and a strap for hands-free convenience.
Level of Difficulty
This project is beginner-friendly with a mix of simple techniques such as double crochets and slip stitches. The decorative aspects, like the daisy, may require slightly more practice but are manageable with patience.
