Crochet phone holders can be made as a fitted bag, a small smartphone case with a long strap, a continuous round crossbody pouch, or a hands free crossbody pouch built for everyday wear. These six original patterns give their dimensions and construction details so you can compare the fit for your device.
A tapestry needle for closing up the case seams and matching your device to the stated dimensions are the two things that matter most.

Phone case patterns to explore
1. The Simple Phone Bag
Pam Carr’s phone bag is about 5 inches wide and 7 inches tall, and she says it fits newer iPhones with a case on. It is worked in worsted weight cotton (4), though she says acrylic works too. A simple shape like this suits a beginner, but check your own phone against the size first. Pam Carr at Carroway Crochet
2. Crochet Smartphone Bag
Crochet Bits gives a 13 by 19 cm bag with a handle, on a 4 mm hook for the bag and a 2.5 mm hook for the handle, using 2 mm braided nylon twine (or any cotton yarn) and a 30 mm button. The free pattern is on the page, and an ad-free PDF costs $3.49. There is a video. Crochet Bits
3. Crossbody Smartphone Pouch
Debra Field designed this for stash busting: it is a beginner-friendly crossbody pouch, quick to work up, and you learn a new stitch, the reverse single crochet or crab stitch. She uses a G-6 (4 mm) hook, and an optional 1 inch button closure, and asks you to measure your smartphone with its case before you start, since everyone’s phone is a different size.

4. Scallop Crochet Card Case
This one is not a phone holder but an envelope-style credit card case with two inside pockets and a button closure, with a scalloped edge. It is worked in fingering/sock weight cotton (Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4) on a 3.25 mm hook, and it fits at least 8 to 10 cards, so it is a good gift or a small wallet to go with a phone bag. Pink Bows & Twinkle Toes
5. Crafty Chic Phone Bag
Ashley Parker made this from less than 100 yards of DK weight yarn, so it is a good use for leftovers. She used King Cole Simply Denim DK, a cotton and anti-pilling acrylic blend that is soft, so it is kind to your phone as it goes in and out. It is rated Easy, on a 3.5 mm hook, and it says it fits phones up to 3.75 by 6.25 inches. Ashley Parker at The Loopy Lamb
6. Carry All Phone Purse
Nicky Avery wanted something small to carry her phone on walks, instead of tucking it in her pocket. It is a crossbody purse just big enough for a phone, keys and chapstick, and she says it works well as a gift or a market item. It uses about 102 yards of worsted cotton on an H/5 mm hook.
