Lia Mobile Phone Bag

A simple, quick project: a cross-body bag in which to carry your mobile phone. The bag has a flap with instructions for a choice of fastenings: ties to make a bow fastening, or a loop for a button fastening. The bag is made in one long rectangle, starting at the flap edge, and folded, so it is easy to make the bag longer than the one I’ve made. The sides are crocheted together, and loops made to take the strap. The strap is a crocheted Romanian cord on the larger hook, with swivel lobster clasps attached at each end. I used an indie dk yarn/light worsted yarn, but any similar dk yarn will work. The pattern is a 2 stitch repeat, so it can be easily adjusted to be wider than the one I’ve made. The pattern is written in English and uses UK terms.
