Tutorial to Crochet A Motif Phone Bag
This project is a lightweight, durable, and stylish cotton-grass (raffia style) phone bag constructed from joined hexagonal floral motifs. To make it, you begin by crocheting individual six-petal flower pieces using a magic ring, puff stitches, and a combination of basic stitches to form the petals.
After finishing the first flower, you use a “join-as-you-go” method during the final round of the subsequent flowers to connect them petal-by-petal, eventually forming a larger tube-like structure with 4 motifs per round (for 3 rounds).
Next, you attach two more specific motifs at the bottom to close the bag. Finally, you iron the bag flat, add a chain loop with an olive button for closure, and crochet a sturdy Romanian cord (shrimp stitch) to attach as a strap.
Skill Level:
Intermediate: It requires familiarity with making and shaping specific multi-stitch petals (puff stitches), as well as a strong grasp of the “join-as-you-go” technique which requires careful mapping, counting, and slip-stitching exact petal corners together while completing the final rounds.
Materials Needed:
3 mm cotton grass (raffia) yarn (held double/two strands together)
3.5 mm crochet hook
Olive button / toggle button (for closure)
Iron (for flattening the motifs)
Scissors and a yarn needle
Abbreviations & Stitches Used:
ch: Chain
sc: Single Crochet
