Materials Needed

• Hook: US G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Notions: Stitch markers, yarn needle, scissors, small amount of fiberfill (for stuffing), and a small wooden button

Gauge: 4 sc x 4 rows = 1 inch (2.5 cm) in single crochet. Adjust your hook size if needed to match gauge for the perfect fit.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds—this is crucial for maintaining the correct stitch count!

Pouch Body (Worked in One Piece)

Start with the Deep Indigo yarn. This section creates the main body of the pouch with a smooth, dense single crochet texture.

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring, work 6 sc into the ring. (6 sts)
2. Round 2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)
3. Round 3: *Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (18 sts)
4. Round 4: *Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (24 sts)
5. Round 5: *Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (30 sts)
6. Round 6: *Sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (36 sts)
7. Round 7: *Sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (42 sts)
8. Round 8: *Sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (48 sts)
9. Round 9: *Sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in next st* repeat around. (54 sts)
10. Rounds 10-20: Sc in each st around. (54 sts) – This forms the body of the pouch. Work even for 11 rounds to create depth. Tip: Count your stitches at the end of each round to ensure accuracy.
11. Round 21: *Sc in next 7 sts, sc2tog* repeat around. (48 sts)
12. Round 22: *Sc in next 6 sts, sc2tog* repeat around. (42 sts)

16. Round 26: *Sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog* repeat around. (18 sts)
17. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff lightly with fiberfill to give the pouch a soft, plush shape, but not too much – you want it to hold a phone snugly.

Flap (Worked Flat)

Still using Deep Indigo, this flap will fold over the front of the pouch to keep your phone secure.

1. Row 1: Ch 18, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (17 sts)

1. Ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Ch 1, work 8 sc into the ring, join with sl st to first sc. (8 sts)
3. Round 2: *Ch 3, yarn over, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop (7 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 7 loops, ch 3, sl st into same st* repeat from * to * in each st around. (8 puff petals)
4. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Pro Tip: Keep your tension consistent when pulling up loops for the puff stitch to ensure all petals are uniform and fluffy.

Leaf (Make 2)

Switch to Sage Green yarn. These pointed leaves add the perfect botanical touch.

1. Ch 10.
2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next 3 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch, ch 2, sl st in last ch. Working down the other side of the chain: sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next 3 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch.
3. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Assembly

Now it's time to bring all the pieces together to create your celestial garden keeper.

1. Sew the flap: Sew the flap to the back of the pouch body, aligning the straight edge of the flap with the top edge of the pouch. Use the long tail and a yarn needle. Tip: Use a whip stitch for a secure and neat seam.
2. Attach the flowers: Sew the puff stitch flowers onto the flap in a cluster, using the tails. Arrange them slightly overlapping for a lush, garden-inspired look. Position them at the center of the flap for balance.
3. Add the leaves: Sew the leaves beneath the flowers, fanning them out slightly to mimic natural growth.
4. Button closure: Attach a small wooden button to the front of the pouch body, centered under the flap. Use the flap's tip as a guide to determine placement. Create a loop of chain stitches on the flap tip to button over, or simply use the flap's shape to tuck under the button. Tip: For a secure closure, make a ch-6 loop and slip stitch it to the tip of the flap.
5. Weave in all ends securely to ensure your pouch is durable and polished.

And there you have it—your very own Lunar Bloom Phone Pouch! This charming accessory is perfect for adding a touch of celestial magic to your everyday carry. The combination of the deep indigo body, silver puff flowers, and sage green leaves creates a truly unique piece that's as functional as it is beautiful. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, this pattern is designed to be approachable and rewarding. Happy crocheting, and may your days be filled with moonlit blooms!
