"This bag is worked using a simple single crochet stitch worked into the back loop to create this fun, ribbed pattern paired with a trendy color block pattern. It's finished with a snap button, but an alternative to this would be to leave off the flap, crochet a chain loop instead, and sewing on a respective sized button. You'll need about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn - I've used Lily Sugar n Cream for mine. I recommend cotton yarn because it's more durable, and this bag will most likely see a lot of use, and being pulled and pushed around in a larger bag/purse."

"I had so much fun with this one. I wanted to design something with various colors and stitches. I used bobbles and star stitches. I love the look it created. I think it has a summery look- you could use any colors to give it a different feel. I also learned something- 124 is a horrible number for pattern repeats. It's not divisible by very many numbers. I'm not the best at math so it made me a little crazy. My husband even tried to help. But, in the end, I got it sorted out."

Now that the gifting season is soon approaching, I wanted to design something that appeals to the younger crowd. I designed these cases to suit my android devices but they can easily be customized for an iPhone or iPad. I chose Lily Sugar n Cream as it is 100% cotton and gives great stitch definition. The stitch used in this crochet pattern is a simple variation of the single crochet which surprisingly looks like a simple star stitch. You can use the free pattern to make matching cases for your phones and tablets. I hope you will enjoy working on this pattern.
