4. Flap: To create the flap that folds over your phone, work the following pattern rows:

Row 1 (Right Side): K14, turn. Row 2 (Wrong Side): P14, turn.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the flap is the desired length. You can adjust the number of rows to accommodate your button or toggle closure.

7. Continue Flap: Repeat Rows 1 and 2 of the flap pattern until you’re satisfied with the length.

8. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely. Make sure your flap is long enough to fold over your phone and secure it with a button or toggle.

9. Assembly: Fold the stockinette stitch body in half, right sides facing, and sew up the side seams, leaving the flap open. Weave in any loose ends.

10. Closure: Attach your button or toggle to the front of the flap, aligning it with the buttonhole you created. Make sure it’s secure.

11. Finishing: Give your phone bag a light steam block to flatten and shape it.

Your phone bag is now ready to use. It’s a simple and customizable pattern that allows you to knit a practical accessory to keep your phone safe and stylish. You can embellish it further with embroidery, beads, or other decorative elements if desired. Enjoy your knitting!
