7 Checkerboard Crochet Phone Bag Patterns and Tutorials
· admin
These checkerboard crochet phone bag patterns bring together small crossbody pouches, a woven-strip construction and a soft phone-bag variation. The seven designs use a similar grid effect but do not all create it in the same way. Compare the sample dimensions, strap attachment and pattern format before choosing one. A phone bag should be planned around your own device with its usual case on, rather than a model name alone.
Pattern guide: Follow the original designer’s page for the complete instructions. Free tutorials, videos and paid PDFs are labeled below. Paid downloads are patterns, not finished items. Availability and included sizes can change.

1. Checkered Crossbody Bag
This compact green-and-cream crossbody keeps the checks large enough to read clearly without making the bag oversized. It is designed for a phone, a few cards and small essentials. The free blog pattern is useful if you prefer written instructions, while an optional ad-free PDF is available from the designer.
Sample size: 4¾ inches wide × 7 inches tall, excluding the strap. Materials: worsted cotton in two colors and a 5 mm hook.

2. Pink Checkered Phone Pouch
Hot pink and pale pink turn a simple grid into a bright everyday accessory. Dana works the pouch in joined rounds and explains how to continue until it reaches the height needed for your phone. The strap is optional, so the same project can be used as a sleeve inside a larger bag.
Format: free written pattern with a linked video. The source lists two yarn colors and a 2 mm crochet hook.

3. Two-in-One Phone Tote
The Phone Tote download includes both a solid-color version and a checkered version. That makes it useful for comparing a simpler make with the extra attention required for colorwork. The slim shape is intended for carrying a phone, with the strap integrated into the overall look of the accessory.
Paid PDF in English, using US terms. The checkered version is described as advanced beginner; materials include DK yarn and a 4.5 mm hook.

4. T3 Woven-Strip Phone Bag
This design creates its checkerboard from separate strips rather than changing yarn colors across every row. Pink and gray make the woven effect easy to see in the sample. Choose it if you enjoy assembling smaller pieces and want a construction method that differs from the other phone pouches here.
Paid PDF by Opion. Approximate size: 18 × 12 cm. The source lists cotton yarn, a 2 mm hook and two clips for the cord.

5. Bitty Checkered Phone Bag
The Bitty collection includes a dedicated phone-bag option alongside three small tote sizes. The soft peach-and-white sample shows how the same checkered idea can feel quite different with a plush yarn. Follow the specified yarn and gauge closely so the phone version keeps its intended proportions.
Paid PDF; intermediate level, English and US terms. The listed phone-bag size is 5 × 7 inches, with supporting photos and video.

6. Checkered Phone Bag by Creggy
Creggy’s step-by-step video is a visual option for working a small checkered phone bag. The tutorial is useful for following the sequence of the color changes and the bag construction. Pick two shades with enough contrast that you can check the placement of each block as you go.
Video materials: 6-ply Indophil yarn, a 3.5 mm hook, yarn needle, trimmer and stitch marker.

7. Checker Phone Bag with a Detachable Strap
A detachable strap makes this checker-pattern bag especially useful if you want to switch between carrying it and placing it inside another bag. The tutorial covers the base, small color blocks and strap attachments. Measure your phone with its usual case on before using the sample dimensions as your target.
Approximate sample size: 4 × 7 inches. Materials: 4-ply cotton, a 3 mm hook and lobster clasps or D-rings.
Check fit and strap construction first
- Measure your phone’s height, width and thickness with its protective case fitted. Allow enough room for it to slide in and out without stretching the fabric out of shape.
- Use the designer’s gauge and yarn weight as your starting point. A substitute yarn can change both the bag dimensions and how much the strap stretches.
- If the strap uses clips or rings, check the attachment instructions before making the top edge. Reinforce and inspect the finished joins before carrying your phone.
