Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn
• Hook: 10 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation of your bag.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Join the round by slipping the hook into the first sc and pulling the yarn through both loops on the hook (sl st).
3. Round 2: Chain 2 (Ch 2) which counts as your first double crochet (dc). In the same stitch, work another dc. Then, work 2 dc in each stitch around the circle. Join this round with a sl st into the top of the Ch 2.
4. Continue in Rounds: Now, you will work in a spiral using a crossed double crochet stitch. To do this, skip the first stitch, dc in the next stitch, then dc in the skipped stitch. Repeat this pattern around until you reach the desired height.
5. Height of the Bag: Continue working in rounds until the piece measures approximately 6 inches in height. Use a measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
6. Finish the Bag: Once you reach the desired height, fasten off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to keep your bag neat.
7. Create the Strap: For the strap, cut three long strands of yarn, each about 30 inches long. Hold them together and twist them tightly until they are well twisted. Secure the ends by tying a knot.
8. Attach the Strap: Use a yarn needle to attach the twisted strap to the top corners of the bag. Make sure it is securely fastened so that it can hold the weight of your phone and any other essentials.
