Perfect for adding a touch of handmade flair to your everyday carry, this little accessory is surprisingly easy to make, even for beginners. Whether you're looking for a quick project to unwind after a long day or a thoughtful handmade gift, this tutorial will guide you through every step.

Experiment with different colors, yarns, and embellishments to create a truly unique piece.

Materials You'll Need:
Worsted weight yarn in your chosen color(s). Approximately 20-30 yards depending on desired size.
A 4.0mm (G) crochet hook.
Scissors.
Yarn needle for weaving in ends.
Optional: embellishments like buttons, beads, or charms.
Optional: A small lobster clasp or keyring for attaching to your phone case.

Abbreviations:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
rnd: round

Instructions:

Round 1: With your chosen yarn and hook, create a magic ring (or chain 4 and slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring). Work 6 sc into the ring. Sl st to join the round. (6 sc)

Round 2: Ch 1 (doesn't count as a stitch). *2 sc in the next stitch, sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to join the round. (12 sc)

Round 3: Ch 1. *2 sc in the next stitch, sc in the next two stitches.* Repeat from * to * around. Sl st to join the round. (18 sc)

Finishing: Fasten off, leaving a tail for weaving in. Weave in all loose ends securely.

Adding Embellishments: This is where you get to personalize your phone charm! You can sew on buttons, beads, or small charms using your yarn needle. Be creative and have fun with it!

Attaching the Clasp/Keyring: If you're using a lobster clasp or keyring, you can attach it by creating a small loop with your yarn tail before weaving in the end. Alternatively, you can use a small jump ring to attach the clasp to the charm.

Tips and Variations:
Size Adjustment: To make a larger or smaller charm, simply add or subtract rounds. Experiment to find the perfect size for your preference.
Color Changes: Introduce different yarn colors in any round to create stripes or other interesting patterns.
Texture Variations: Try using different crochet stitches like half double crochet (hdc) or double crochet (dc) to change the texture of your charm.
Yarn Weight: Feel free to experiment with different yarn weights. Using a thinner yarn will create a more delicate charm, while thicker yarn will result in a more substantial one.
Add a Tassel: A small tassel attached to the bottom adds a lovely finishing touch.

This phone bag charm is a fantastic opportunity to practice your crochet skills and create a unique accessory. Don't be afraid to experiment and personalize it to match your style. Happy crocheting!
