Keep your coins and phone safe inside your big purse with this crochet cell phone holder pattern and coin purse to match. Both follow a similar pattern using the cross-over long dc crochet stitch.

You can line the crochet phone holder if you want, but mine looks great the way it is. As for the coin purse, you will need to line it and sew in a zipper.

If you like this stitch, you might also enjoy the matching patterns: a brim hat, twisted cowl, and a pair of fingerless gloves.
