Right before our trip Rocky and I had to get new cellular phones. His was malfunctioning and mine was starting to. He got a leather case for his as he's the one who's phone normally see's the most abuse but I decided I wanted/needed a way to carry it around in a little pouch so I've been playing with the idea of a this pocket. Last night I got some craft thread and decided to crochet one. I used a little less than 5-10 yd. skeins and a # 0 steele hook I got on clearance on our vacation. Had I not had color changes it may have been as little as 4 skeins. I started with a chain and increased at the corners while crocheting around it building the base of the pocket, and when it got to the right diameter I just continued in the round. I re attached the main color as trim around the top and a small loop for the strap to snap through. Then I added the strap, It is a foundationless dc chain. I doubled it back onto itself for strength and attached the snap so that I can move it to whatever bag I'm carrying.
Rocky suggested a snap closure but the phone sits pretty securely in the pocket so I don't think one is needed. I can always add one later though if I need to.
