Crochet Mobile Pouch

July 10, 2016 By Lucy

feature

In this article I will be sharing a very quick and easy to make crochet mobile pouch.

This free crochet pattern will show you how to use some basic crochet stitches to produce a high quality mobile phone pouch.

A fun and practical way of making your cell phone more unique.

Have fun making your very own crochet cell phone pouch!

Crochet Mobile Pouch Equipment

To create your crochet mobile pouch with this pattern, you will need the following crochet equipment:

  • 2.5mm crochet hook
  • 50g ball of  4ply 100% wool yarn (I used Women’s Institute Unique Shetland yarn in pink)
  • 1 button
  • fine yarn needle
  • scissors

If you want to embellish your crochet mobile pouch, then I recommend having a small quantity of 100% wool 4ply yarn in another color too. I have used a green shade also from the WI Unique Shetland range.

Crocheting Your Cell Phone Pouch

The crochet pattern works from a basic chain formed into a ring.

It is built up from this part as a cylinder, with the button tab and optional embellishments to be added upon completion.

This crochet mobile pouch pattern was designed around an iPhone 6.

Adjusting The Pattern For A Different Model Of Phone

If you have another model of smart phone, then simply produce the initial chain and hold it around the width of your phone. Adjust accordingly, making the chain longer for a wider phone or shorter for a thinner one.

From this point you can simply follow the pattern as described.

Crochet Mobile Pouch Pattern

Begin by using your 2.5mm crochet hook and the 4ply wool yarn. I recommend using a crochet hook with a soft grip if you have one, as the pattern although short is quite repetitive. A soft grip crochet hook will stop your hand from becoming sore as you work the yarn.

Round 1

Make a chain of 40 stitches (ch 40). Slip stitch (sl st) into the first chain to join as a circle.

Round 2

*Ch3 to form the first double crochet (dc).

dc once into each stitch for the remainder of the round.

At the end of the round sl st to join.

Round 3 – 22

Repeat from *.

Round 23

In this round you will be forming the tab which holds your phone inside the pouch.

*Ch3 to form the first dc.

Make 1dc into each of the next 5 stitches.

Repeat from *.

Round 28

Ch3 to form the first dc.

Make 1dc into the next stitch.

Ch2 and skip two stitches.

Make 1dc into the next 2 stitches.

Round 29

*Ch3 to form the first dc.

Make 1dc into the next stitch. Make 2dc into the chain gap. Then make 1dc into each of the next 2 remaining stitches.

At the end of the row tie off and weave in the loose end.

Joining the Base of the Crochet Mobile Pouch

Turn the pouch inside out, and work from the first round.

Hold the pouch flat, with your button tab in the centre of one side at the other end.

Cast your yarn onto the hook, and single crochet the two sides together.

At the end of the row cut off the loose end and weave it back in.

Turn the pouch the right way out again.

Attaching the Button

Take your button, yarn needle, and a length of yarn.

Put your phone inside the pouch and hold the flap over.

Using your finger mark the point where the button hole lies on the other side of the pouch.

Thread the needle with your yarn, and sew the button on in the appropriate place.

Embellishing Your Crochet Mobile Pouch

Once your pouch is complete you will be able to use to keep your phone safe and looking pretty.

But you might well want to personalise it a bit further.

My first attempt doing this was to sew a design onto it. I would be the first to admit that I am not the world’s best at stitching direct designs. In fact, the initial effort is so laughable I thought it would only be fair to share it with you!

Photos demonstrate this a little more clearly than I could in words:

In case you hadn’t worked it out – this was meant to be a leaf…

However if you are a better sewer than I am, you might want to make a pretty pattern in your crochet mobile pouch!

Crochet Mobile Pouch Edging

Another way to embellish your crochet pouch is with edging. This is the sort of sewing which thankfully is more my speed.

Taking the green yarn I worked a blanket stitch into each stitch around the top edge of the pouch. I think it’s worked out well, and I’m quite pleased with the result.

I hope you enjoy making this quick and simple crochet mobile pouch.

Happy Crocheting! x

    I like this. I have made a similar one only difference was at the top I had a full flap over. I attached a crochet chain to it so I could hang it round my neck and inside my jacket. My friends loved it and said they haven’t dropped their phones since using it.
