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 at Carroway Crochet is worked in worsted weight cotton on an H/5mm hook and finishes about 5 inches wide by 7 inches tall, a stated fit for newer iPhones kept in a case. The simple bag construction provides a compact device holder rather than a rigid shell, so measuring the phone and case first is useful. Its proportions leave room for a fitted everyday crossbody style carry.
2. Crochet Smartphone Bag
Crochet Bits measures 13 by 19 cm and includes a 122 cm handle for crossbody wear. The bag body uses a 4 mm hook, while the narrower handle is worked with a 2.5 mm hook for a firmer strap. Those separate hook sizes help create a compact phone pouch with a long, lighter corded carry option.
3. Crossbody Smartphone Pouch
Debra Field at MadameStitch uses about 100 yards of DK weight yarn on a G-6/4mm hook to form a phone pouch in continuous rounds, avoiding a side seam through the body. A separately worked lengthwise strap is attached for crossbody use. The construction makes this a small yarn project while allowing the pouch length and strap placement to be adjusted for a device.
4. Scallop Crochet Card Case
Pink Bows & Twinkle Toes works in fingering/sock weight cotton on a D/3.25mm hook, folding a 70 chain foundation into thirds to form an envelope style mini wallet with two interior pockets. Its scalloped flap closes with a button, and the finished case measures about 3.75 by 2.75 inches while holding 8 to 10 cards. The folded construction creates compartments without sewing separate pocket panels.
5. Crafty Chic Phone Bag
Ashley Parker at The Loopy Lamb finishes about 3.75 by 6.5 inches flat, fitting phones up to 3.75 by 6.25 by 0.625 inches, in DK weight yarn on an E/3.5mm hook, alternating single crochet and treble crochet rounds worked continuously from bottom to top, with D rings for a leather crossbody strap.
6. Carry All Phone Purse
Nicky Avery at Avery Lane Creations uses worsted weight cotton (about 102 yards) on an H/5mm hook with a herringbone half double crochet and slip stitch texture from alternating rounds, finishing 4 by 1.5 inches with a 34-inch strap. The herringbone texture gives the fabric more structure than plain single crochet, helping the pouch hold its shape around the phone.
Fit and carry: what the patterns tell you
Only some of these say what phone they fit, so start there. The Loopy Lamb (#5) states phones up to 3.75 by 6.25 by 0.625 inches, Carroway Crochet’s bag (#1) is about 5 by 7 inches for newer iPhones in a case, and Crochet Bits (#2) is 13 by 19 cm. Measure your own phone with its case on and compare.
Then look at the carry. Crochet Bits has a 122 cm handle for crossbody wear, The Loopy Lamb has D rings for a leather strap, MadameStitch (#3) is worked in continuous rounds with no side seam, and Avery Lane Creations (#6) uses herringbone half double crochet, which is denser than plain single crochet. The scallop case (#4) is a card wallet, not a phone holder.
