Pattern Inspiration
I'm not a huge fan of having to wear a jacket just to carry the extras when my girls and I are out walking on a hot summer day, so I decided to create a phone sleeve that could attach to the handle of my water bottle tote using a carabiner clip (the clip is also awesome for carrying keys if you don't want them digging into your hip while in your jeans pocket).
Because I love the how the stitch combinations in the Sofie Cross Tote and Bottle Tote look, I decided to use that combo for the sleeve pattern as well.
I also love the button closure so there's less chance of your phone slipping out and getting lost.
About this Pattern
This pattern calls for a worsted weight #4 yarn and a 5mm size H crochet hook.
I used Bernat Handicrafter 100% cotton as it was what I had on hand after creating the other totes.
This pattern is worked from the bottom. From there you work up to the top, make a button hole and add the button. This sleeve will fit a Samsung Galaxy S21.
This pattern is rated for Experienced Beginners in pattern difficulty. All the stitches used are basic crochet stitches, though some require skipping stitches, stitching into the skipped stitches, and making a button hole.
I used approximately 57 yards to make the phone sleeve
