FREE Simple Phone Purse Crochet Pattern

Hello!

If you are in the crochet world, you will have noticed that many people have designing and using phone purses. I had made one for a notebook recently, but decided to make a new design for a simple phone purse version. This is a very simple pattern that is perfect for beginners and you can make them to give away as gifts!

This pattern for a simple phone purse has a special stitch in between the rounds of single crochet to add a little bit of fun to the bag. The cluster stitch is simple as well once you realize it is just a bunch of double crochets crocheted together.
