You can also loop the chain around a purse strap and thread the phone through the strap to secure (the smaller chain option is recommended if you want to use it like this).

i love little crochet projects....it breaks up doing the projects that take forever. I may try this one.

[flybabytina]

This is a great pattern! I need a new holder for my cell phone... now just to decide which yarn to use.... Thanks! You did a great job!

Cute cell-phone pouch,PJ!Thanks for the pattern.

[newfiegal]

Very Nice! Great job!:)

[Roli]

I love this pattern! It's a little more fancy than most of them and shows off your crochet work nicely. No excuse not to have one to match every purse! My stash is down to some small leftovers and I'm saving my money for the CGOA convention so this is perfect timing! Thanks!:hug

[PJinNH]

Thanks for the kind words.. I'd love to see pictures if you crochet this pattern.

[stormy]

That is cute!! Thanks for sharing the pattern!!:cheer

[wren]

Thanks so much for the pattern. This is completely different from any cell phone cozy I've seen. Very, very nice.

[mimicat]

I like it, very cute! Thanks for sharing! :yay

PJ,
I made your cell phone holder yesterday in heathered gray Wool-Ease. It's a very nice pattern! I was a little confused before I got the idea of the shape, but from then on it was smooth sailing. The Wool-Ease works fine, and I figure that will be my winter cozy, because the wool is a bit scratchy to wear around the neck without a sweater. Otherwise I plan to make one in cotton for the spring/summer.
Really a fantastic pattern! Thank you!

[PJinNH]

Glad you enjoyed the pattern...basically it starts out with a two-round granny square and on the 3rd round you skip opposite corners.

I think making them in cotton yarn for the summer is a fab idea! I'll have to give that a go myself.

[DainaJ]

I think someone experienced in making granny squares would have no problem. I was a little confused because I have never made them before. But I figured it out!

[christinascrochethaven]

Great little project.....gotta try it. Thanks for sharing.:cheer

[sugirox]

i like it a lot.thanx for sharing

[crochetlady]

thanks for the neat pattern! I made one in 30 mins and loved the closure. I also added a heart embellishment:) I also slide my key chain on the rope and its perfect while I go for walks! My camera's battery is down so will post a pic as soon as I replace the batteries.

Sounds great. I look forward to seeing the picture!

[Redhead Deb]

I made your cell phone pouch last night and it was a fun little project. I've only ever used a slip stitch to join something so all that slip stitching was different for me but very quick and fun to do. I love what it did to stabalize the strap and top edge. Tonight, I plan to add a few flowers to the pouch.

Thanks for sharing!

[pidot]

i love the pattern you use there.

[crochetlady]

here is my version of the cellphone pouch !

:yay those are very nice & would make great gifts!

[PJinNH]

Deb, glad you liked the slip stitch, I think it finishes things off nicely.

Vims: Thanks for the link to your cell phone pouch, it came out very nicely!.

[jeng]

love your cellphone pouch!!! thanks for sharing the pattern. might try it one of these days. :manyheart

[Pink]

I have made so many of these cute little cosies because everbody who saw mine wanted one - they are a huge hit, thank you so much for sharing the pattern!

[PJinNH]

That's so nice. What seems to work (if I may beat my own drum) is that there's a closure on the top and it's easy to make :)

[ktornatola]

Love your pouch....it's definitely on my things to do list! Also wanted to say that I love your avatar!! Go Pats! :)

[Redhead Deb]

I've already posted that I made your phone cozy and like it very much. My new news is that I've found that it's perfect for my iPod and radio, in addition to my cell phone. Thanks, again!

[gingerchai]

i just printed it out and am going to make one for a male co-worker. i like little projects. very nice pattern! :)

[j_kawano]

Wow that is super cute.:c9

[Lavelle26]

I like your pouch but....I see on your avatar that you are a red sox fan??? I guess this means we are arch rivals. (yankees all the way) Can we still be friends? I mean we both crochet and all so you can't be THAT bad...:lol

Yeah, we can still be friends, we just can't discuss baseball! ;)

[flybabytina]

Ok, I FINALLY got one of these made (note to self: the slip stitches look weird when using verigated yarn) I made a short chain and hooked a "carbineer clip" thru the hole after closing and hook the clip on my belt loop, purse handle/strap or anywhere else it will hook... I made the chain long enough so that I can take my phone out thru the side but when it is clipped it stays closed because of the weight of the phone holding it down. Thanks again for a great pattern!

Tina

[PJinNH]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoy it! Love the carbineer clip idea. I recently got an MP3 player and have found that by making the pouch a little smaller, it works for that too!

[azuki88]

I like this design, it has a unique way of securing the phone to the bag. I mean most cellphone bags usually just have a flap closure with a button/bead.

[KnicKnac]

I have actually made more than a few of these! They are perfect little "I'm thinking of you" gifts!

[ashbirdlady]

Thanks for the pattern. This was so quick and easy.
I used wool and felted it afterwards.
Here are some pictures.

[andip470]

:yes This is a great pattern - just the thing to replace the broken (expensive) leather cover for my little phone. I love the idea of making one for my iPod too - I'm going to try that next, with a thinner yarn maybe bamboo?

Thank you for sharing the pattern. I'm also granny square challenged & thought I was doing something wrong until I got to row 3, then it all began to make sense:lol

[InStitches]

So cute! Thanks for the pattern! I'm going to have to make one now!

[Starr]

I love this! Thank you for sharing the pattern :D

[ch2crochet]

That's very nice and different than most cell phone holders. I've been wanting to make something that was different looking. Sometimes I don't want to take my purse with me, just my cell phone and I.D. I think I will give this a try! :hook Thanks for sharing the pattern :yay

[kotek]

oh, I like that! I keep bumping and loosing my cell, that should help:D ! thank you!
but for my brother'sipod I need to find something more teenager male design:ohdear

[mustang lady]

just love this pattern. can't wait to try it. I think I'll make some for Christmas gifts. Keep up the good work.

[CrochetedJust4You]

Ohhhh, what a nice little pattern! Thanks so much for sharing!

[Debi Y]

Very nice job - I like it !!

I posted a different post about the cell phone pouches I made from your pattern. I just wanted to post here and say thank you for such a cool pattern! I am getting addicted to it. I've made five already between 2:36 pm and 4:30 pm this afternoon! :yes

Clickable. (Not so blurry when it's bigger, too...)

I added fun fur to the last round on the green one. :bounce (That one is mine!) :yes

Tina

[clare]

cute! i love the pattern

[Riohnna]

That is pretty cool!

[sallenlouise]

OHHH YAY! I was wondering "Awwww, what pattern is that?" As soon as I saw them, and low and behold.......you posted the pattern! THANK YOU! Yes, I am actually shouting, lol! Great Job, Great Pattern! Thank you for sharing both.

[Happymum]

Thankyou for sharing this great pattern! :) I have made a heap already for friends and found the pattern very beginner friendly.. :clap :yarn

[paperflowers]

Great idea! I was looking for teen patterns, but now I want one for myself :).

[PJinNH]

Update!

I've been making my cell phone pouches again.

One of my friends has a phone a bit slimmer than mine so I used a G hook and used half double crochets instead of double crochets in the pattern (just also remember at the beginning of each row to chain 2, not 3 if you use half doubles).

Also I made a couple for a girl at work who has a very thin phone (probably about 2-inches wide and it's fairly long). For hers I used an F hook and also used the half double crochets, and worked 11 rounds using baby yarn.

[misssmaggie]

Nice !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

[cher49]

very nice

[PJinNH]

Here are some of the new one's I've made. The two on the left are the small narrow ones made wtih baby yarn. The two beside them are the medium sized ones, and the last three are the regular sized ones.

These are so cute. I have a new video camera (the Flip video (http://www.theflip.com/index.shtml)) and I want to make a case for it. It is just about 4"x2". This is perfect because the loop makes it easy for carrying.

Glad you like them, by adjusting the crochet hook size and working the regular method of the half-double method, you should be able to come up with a size that works for you...you might want to post here what you used to fit your Flip Video! Thanks.
