I made this for my BFF for her birthday. She has a big heavy cell phone, and rarely has pockets to put it in. I made this for her to use when she doesn't have pockets, so she won't misplace her cell phone!

Determine the size of the cell phone versus the length you want to make the sling. Single stitch (I used hook G/6-4.25 MM) to the length of what you want the main portion of the bag to be.
Double stitch the width of the "bag", determine how "wide" you will need it. Double stitch one row more than you need to just cover the phone.
When finished with steps 2 & 3, fold the material in half, and stitch the bottom and side seam by pulling the yarn through the stitch holes along the edges.
Determine how long you want the "sling" strap. I made mine to sit on the chest, or you can make it longer to wear like a purse (see photo), or you can make it to wear in sling fashion. Single stitch to the length you need, then double stitch once along that length.
When finished with step 4, attach the "sling" strap like you did to put the seams together in step 3. When finished, turn bag inside out to hide the seams.
Add a few decorative buttons to the front (I attached mine using sewing thread and large sewing needle so I could have a "thick" band of thread holding the buttons in place, then I knotted them good, cutting off excess thread).
