Two-Tone Crochet Phone Bag: A Step-by-Step Tutorial80

Hello, fellow crocheters! Today, we’re diving into a fun and practical project: a stylish two-tone crochet phone bag. This tutorial will guide you through creating a charming little bag that’s perfect for carrying your phone, cards, and a few other essentials. The two-tone design adds a pop of visual interest, allowing you to experiment with your favorite yarn colors and create a truly unique accessory.

This pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters. If you're comfortable with basic crochet stitches like chain (ch), single crochet (sc), slip stitch (sl st), and increasing/decreasing, you'll be able to follow along easily. Don't be intimidated if you're a little rusty – take your time, and refer to the stitch explanations if needed. We'll break down the process into manageable steps, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience.

Materials You'll Need:

Before we begin, let's gather our supplies. You'll need:
Yarn in two contrasting colors: Approximately 50g of each color. Choose worsted weight yarn for a nice, sturdy bag. Consider using cotton yarn for a more durable and washable result.
Crochet hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) or a size that corresponds to your chosen yarn weight. Always check the yarn label for recommended hook size.
Scissors:
Yarn needle:
Stitch markers (optional):
Measuring tape:

Abbreviations Used:

To keep things concise, we'll use the following abbreviations throughout the tutorial:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
inc: increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
dec: decrease (sc2tog - single crochet two stitches together)

Instructions:

Part 1: The Main Body (Color A)

1. Foundation Chain: Ch 20. This will determine the width of your bag. Adjust this number based on your phone's dimensions, adding or subtracting chains as needed to accommodate your phone comfortably.

2. Row 1: Sc in the second ch from the hook and in each ch across. Turn. (19 sc)

3. Rows 2-10: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in each sc across. Turn. Repeat this for eight more rows.

4. Rows 11-15: Repeat Rows 2-10 but switch to Color B

Part 2: Shaping the Sides (Color B)

1. Row 16: Ch 1, sc in each sc across until the last 2 stitches, *dec*, turn. (18sc)

2. Row 17: Ch 1, sc in each sc across until the last 2 stitches, *dec*, turn. (17 sc)

3. Rows 18-22: Repeat Row 17 five more times, decreasing one stitch at the end of each row. (12sc)

4. Fasten off and weave in the ends of Color B.

Part 3: The Flap (Color A)

1. Foundation Chain: Ch 10

2. Row 1: Sc in the second ch from the hook and in each ch across. Turn. (9 sc)

3. Rows 2-3: Ch 1, sc in each sc across. Turn. Repeat this for two more rows.

4. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Part 4: Assembling the Bag

1. With Color A, single crochet around the top edge of the main body to create a clean finish. This will also help to attach the flap.

2. Sew the flap to the top edge of the main body using a yarn needle and Color A yarn. Leave a small gap for inserting your phone.

Part 5: Finishing Touches

Weave in all loose ends securely. You can add embellishments like a decorative button or a tassel for a personalized touch. You can also add a small chain to the top for a strap if desired, adjusting the length based on preference.

Tips and Variations:

• Feel free to adjust the dimensions of the bag to fit your phone perfectly. Add more rows for a taller bag or adjust the foundation chain for a wider bag.

• Experiment with different yarn colors and textures to create unique and stylish bags. Consider using a sparkly yarn for a glamorous look, or a textured yarn for added visual appeal.

• Add a lining to the inside of the bag for extra durability and to prevent your phone from scratching against the crochet stitches. You can use a fabric remnant or even a lightweight plastic sheet.

• Use different stitch patterns to add more texture and visual interest. Try using half double crochet (hdc) or double crochet (dc) stitches instead of single crochet. Remember to adjust your hook size accordingly.
