Crochet smartphone shoulder bag pattern:

Ch 15.

Round 1: ch 1, starting in the second chain from hook, 1 SC in each chain, 3 SC in the last chain, continue working on the opposite side of the chain, make SC in all the chains on the opposite side and once you reach the last stitch, make 2 more SC and sl st to 1st SC. (32 SC)

Round 2: ch 1, SC into the same st as the join and in each st around. To bring the total stitch count to 33 (a multiple of 3), make 2 SC into the last stitch. Join to 1st SC. (33 SC)

Round 3: Ch 3 (count as DC), 2 DC into the same st as the join, *skip 2 sts, 3 DC in next st. Repeat from * around. Joint with sl st to the top of starting ch-3.

Round 4: Ch 3 (count as DC), 2 DC into the same st as the join, *skip 2 sts, 3 DC in next st (into the first DC of each shell). Repeat from * around. Joint with sl st to the top of starting ch-3.

Round 5: Ch 3, (count as DC), *skip 2 sts, 3 DC in next st (into the first DC of each shell). Repeat from * around. At the end, 2 DC into the same stitch as join (to finish the shell). Join to the top of starting ch-3. Sl st into the next st (first DC of the next shell).

Round 6: Ch 3, (count as DC), 2 DC into the same st as the join, *skip 2 sts, 3 DC in next st. Repeat from * around. Join.

Repeat Rows 3–6 until the bag reaches your desired height. I repeated Rows 3–6 two more times, then continued by repeating only Row 3 until the bag reached a height of 16 cm.

Next 3 Rounds: Ch 1, SC into the same stitch as the join, SC in each stitch around. Join the 1st SC.

Shoulder Strap:

Leave at least a 25-30 cm tail that will be used to sew the strap.

• • Ch 3, SC in 2nd ch from hook, SC in next ch. Turn the work clockwise, insert the hook underneath the side stitch (1st SC) and make a SC. Right after the stitch, there will be one more bar (3d ch); insert your hook under it and make a SC.
  • *Turn the work clockwise again. Work a SC into the second side stitch from the hook. Right after the stitch, there will be two more bars; insert your hook under both bars and make a SC.
  • Repeat from * until the strap reaches the desired length. 125-135 cm. Sew on the strap, and optionally attach a magnetic snap for closure.
