Video Tutorial



Written Pattern

Step 1: Make a slip knot and ch 3.


Step 2: Insert your hook in the second chain from the hook and pull up a loop.


Step 3: Insert your hook into the last chain and pull up a loop. You should have 3 loops on your hook.


Step 4: (At this step, I vary slightly from the normal technique. I prefer to work from left to right.) With the working cord, draw up a loop in the left stitch and then carefully remove it from your hook. Draw up a loop in the middle stitch and carefully remove it from your hook. Draw up a loop in the final stitch but do not remove it from your hook.


Step 5: Return the 1st and 2nd loop to the hook. Bring your working yarn back to the left side.

If making the wristlet, repeat step 4 until your work measures 13 inches.

If making the crossbody, repeat step 4 until your work measures 48 inches (or preferred length.)


(TIP: Choose a length that works for your height. Keep in mind that the strap will stretch slightly once the phone is attached. The goal is to select a length that will allow the phone to hang comfortably at your hip.)


Step 6: Cut cord, leaving a 5 inch tail. Slide lobster clasp onto the i-cord before seaming ends together. Seam ends using the horizontal mattress stitch (or method of choice). Secure beginning & ends tails with a double knot. Trim excess to about 1/4inch.


Step 7: Finish off with a wrap knot to hide the seam and tail ends and secure lobster clasp in place. (There is a wrap knot tutorial at timestamp 6:23 of the above video.)


All done!
