Plarn Phone Caddy

This took 15 bags to make for my phone. Yours might need more or less, depending on the size of your phone. I have an android. I don't always remember to carry my phone outside when I'm gardening and I'm tired of missing calls.
Ch 4, turn, sc in second ch from hook and in next 2 ch. Ch 1, turn. Repeat rows of 3 sc, ch 1, turn until it's long enough for the width of your phone. For my phone, that's 12 rows.
Ch 1 working evenly, sc across the sides of the rows and ends. Don't join, just continue working sc around, just like the grocery bags. I needed 21 rounds to hold my phone.
Working down an outside front corner, sl st 5, ch 14, sl st 5 up the opposite outside front corner to make the flap holder.
To make a carrying strap, working across a short end, 3 sc. Work in rows, same as you did for the bottom until the strap is as long as you want. I made 140 rows. This makes a cross body strap and puts my phone just above my waist.
Making sure the strap is straight and not twisted and that after joining, you'll be working across the back, join with sl st to the other short end. Add another row, if needed.
Working across the top of the sc in rows (12 sc in each row for me), ch 1 at the end of each row, turn, to make a flap. This will go over the top and slide under the chain on the front to hold it closed. I made 12 rows.
It looks much like a small shoulder bag. Now, I'll always have my phone with me. It won't fall out of a pocket and start a "great phone hunt"! I won't set it down somewhere to have my hands free and forget where I left it. Being old as the hills, I remember having only a land line in the house attached to the wall by a cord. You always knew where it was, and that was the only place to make a call, so remembering to always keep my cell phone near is a new thing for me and I often forget.
