Materials -
Size 4.25mm / US 6 double point needles
Vignette yarn - Each bag will use less than 1/5th of the skein
Co 26 onto a single dp needle. Knit one row straight across, then divide onto dps and join into the round.
Knit around until 2 rows shorter than length of phone. The bag will stretch!

K2tog through back loop, k1, p1, k1, p1
Strap
Work every row as follows -
Sl1, p1, k1, p1, k1
Work until strap is 3.5 to 4 inches long.
Buttonhole row - Sl1, p1, YO, p2tog, k1
Work Sl1, p1, k1, p1, k1 for 3 more rows
Sl1, p1, psso, k1, p2tog
Sl1, k1, psso, k1, psso to bind off
Weave in ends, sew base closed. Position button and attach. Buttons with a shank work well, as do oblong buttons, less chance they will pop off!
