        \ud83e\udea1 Step-by-Step: Crochet Phone Crossbody Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udd38 Step 1: Create the Base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Ch 16<\/strong> (adjust based on your phone\u2019s width)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Row 1<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (15 sc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 3 sc in the last chain to curve the corner<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Work along the other side of the foundation chain: 1 sc in each chain, 2 sc in last ch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Join with sl st to first sc (34 sc total)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          This creates an oval-shaped base<\/strong> for your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n

            You can also switch to hdc<\/strong> for taller stitches if you want a quicker build. Stop when the bag reaches desired height (typically 6.5\u20137 inches).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • sc 4, ch 2, skip 2, sc to end<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
