It’s been a while since I made a crochet phone bag. The last one was my Gameboy Phone Pouch crochet pattern, which I still love, but this time I wanted something softer, more feminine, a little coquette, and definitely more chic. Basically, less retro gaming console, more Blair Waldorf running errands with a tiny purse.
So here we are, with a brand new free crochet phone bag pattern. This little crochet phone purse has a pretty textured front, ruffle edges. It keeps your phone close without looking too plain, which is exactly what I wanted for this crochet phone purse.
You can also adjust the length if your phone is taller, so this crochet mobile phone bag can actually fit your device. Now let’s get into the pattern and make the little coquette phone bag happen.

Chain 26, then starting the second loop from the hook:
Row 1: 1 sc, skip 3 loops, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the next loop, skip 3 loops, 1 sc, skip 3 loops, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the next loop, skip 3 loops, 1 sc, skip 3 loops, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the next loop, skip 3 loops, 1 sc.
Row 2: ch4, dc in the previous sc, ch 2, sc in the 3rd dc of previous row, ch 2, (1 dc, ch3, 1 dc) in the previous sc, ch 2, sc in the 3rd dc of previous row, ch 2, (1 dc, ch3, 1 dc) in the previous sc, ch 2, sc in the 3rd dc of previous row, ch 2, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the last sc.
R3: ch4, (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the previous ch1, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the previous ch3 space, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the previous ch3 space, (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the 3rd loop of the beginning ch4 from the previous row.
R4: ch1, 1 sc in the previous dc, ch 2, (1 dc, ch3, 1 dc) into the sc 2 rows below (from row 2), ch2, sc in the 3rd dc from previous row, ch 2, (1 dc, ch3, 1 dc) into the sc 2 rows below, ch2, sc in the 3rd dc from previous row, ch 2, (1 dc, ch3, 1 dc) into the sc 2 rows below, ch 2, sc in the 3rd loop from the beginning ch4 of previous row.
R5: 1 sc into the previous sc, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the ch3 space, 1 sc in the previous sc, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the next ch3 space, 1 sc in the next sc, (1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc) in the next ch3 space, 1 sc in the last sc.
Repeat Rows 2 to 5 five times in total.
If your phone is longer, you can add one more full repeat of Rows 2 to 5. Just make sure the top of your crochet phone bag ends with the same type of row as Row 5, so the stitch pattern finishes neatly.
To make this crochet phone bag pattern easier to follow, I’ve also added an interactive chart reader below. Use the Previous Row and Next Row buttons to move through the diagram one row at a time. The highlighted section shows the row you’re currently working on, so you can follow the chart without losing your place or squinting at the whole thing like it’s trying to personally test you.
Once you have completed all 21 rows, ch 1. We will now work around the side edge, bottom edge, and opposite side edge of the crochet phone purse.
Work the edges as follows:
First side edge: Work 30 sc evenly along the side. Place 1 sc into the end of each row that begins or ends with a sc, and 2 sc around each dc or beginning ch4 from the rows that start or end with them.
Bottom edge: Work a sc inc into the last loop of the foundation chain from Row 1. Then work 1 sc into each loop across the foundation chain. Work a sc inc into the first loop of the foundation chain, where you made the first sc of Row 1.
Opposite side edge: Work 30 sc along the other side edge in the same way as you did for the first side.
Finish with an insible join, cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
Make two panels this way (front and back of the crochet phone bag).
Assemble the panels of the crochet phone pouch together
To assemble the crochet phone purse, place the two panels wrong sides together, with the right sides facing out.
You will join them by working the ruffle edging through both panels at the same time. Work around the first side, bottom edge, and opposite side as follows:
Working through the loops of both panels at the same time to join them together, work 4 dc in each stitch along the first side, 3 dc in each stitch along the bottom edge, and 4 dc in each stitch along the other side.
Next round: ch 2, turn, then work 1 dc in each stitch around. Cut the yarn and weave in ends when finished.
Attach your chain strap to the top stitches on each side of your crochet phone pouch, and you’re ready to go!
What I like about this crochet phone bag pattern is that it gives your phone its own little outfit without turning into a huge project that you will struggle to finish. It’s the kind of crochet project you can actually wear and use, and if you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I love making crochet designs that are cute but also useful.
You can keep it simple, add a different chain strap, make it longer for your own phone, or even use this crochet phone bag pattern as a base for another color combo. I can already see this crochet phone purse in cream, dusty pink, black, or a very bright red.
I hope you enjoy making yours. And when you do, leave a comment below so I can see how it went, bookmark this pattern for later, and tag me on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, or YouTube so I can admire your tiny “Clueless” phone bag moment.
