NOTES

This pattern is designed to fit an average sized smart phone. My finished bags measure approximately 4.5 inches wide and 6 inches tall.

I used Bernat Softee Cotton and a 5.5 mm Tunisian Hook but the pattern can easily be adjusted for any weight yarn or different sized phone:

Use whatever hook size works best for your chosen yarn, when choosing a Tunisian hook I find it’s best to size up. For example, with Weight 4 yarn my preference is to use a 6.5 mm Tunisian Hook

To adjust the width of the bag add or omit stitches from your starting chain

To adjust the height add or omit any number of the repeated rows

PATTERN

Make two:

Ch 15

ROW 1

Pick up 1 loop through the second ch from the hook and each ch to end
