Materials Needed
- Yarn in a variety of colors
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
- Scissors
- Sewing needle (for attaching and securing yarn)
- Button for closure
Step 1: Creating the Flower Design
- Magic Ring and Foundation
- Begin by making a magic ring and crocheting a series of stitches into it, forming the base of the flower.
- Tighten the ring and secure the stitches with a slip stitch to complete the first round.
- Forming the Flower Petals
- Each new round involves creating chain stitches and attaching them to the base to form petals.
- Triple crochet stitches are used to add dimension to the petals.
- Completing the Flower
- Continue this sequence to create eight petals, securing the yarn and weaving in the ends.
- A new yarn color is added at the center spaces between the petals to create decorative chains.
Step 2: Creating the Granny Square
- Adding the Square Shape
- Around the flower, crochet sets of stitches into the spaces to form corners and sides.
- Repeat this for a total of four corners, turning the circular flower into a square.
- Building Additional Rounds
- Add two more rows of the square pattern to build onto the design. Each round includes additional spaces for the sides while maintaining the corners.
- Use alternating yarn colors to create a layered and colorful look.
- Finalizing the Square
- At the end of each square, weave in loose ends using a sewing needle.
- A total of five squares are needed for the phone purse: four for the body and one for the flap.
Step 3: Assembling the Purse
- Joining the Squares
- Arrange the squares with two on the front, two on the back, and one for the flap.
- Attach the squares together using a sewing needle or by crocheting through their edges (front loop and back loop technique).
- Creating the Purse Shape
- After attaching the squares, fold the assembly to form the purse shape.
- The top section naturally becomes the flap, which will later include a buttonhole.
Step 4: Adding Finishing Touches
- Making the Buttonhole
- Create a single crochet border around the purse, adding chains in the middle of the flap to form a buttonhole.
- Attach a button to the center square of the front panel to secure the flap.
- Crocheting the Strap
- The strap is made using a bead-like stitch for added texture. Attach the completed strap to the sides with a needle or crochet stitches for durability.
