Crochet Cell Phone Pouch Equipment

To create your cell phone pouch with this pattern, you will need the following equipment:

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

If you want to embellish your 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 cell phone pouch pattern was designed around an iPhone 6. You probably have a much more recent model!

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.

Cell Phone 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.

Joining the Base of the Crochet Cell Phone 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 cell 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.
