Four Christmas characters for a little crossbody phone bag
Make a Christmas Gnome, Snowman, Gingerbread House or Reindeer on a cord phone bag with a tapered flap, magnetic snap and matching crocheted strap. White bobbly snow-cap edging follows the flap's free edges. This 38-page English PDF includes the shared bag construction and a separate chapter for each character.

Materials and finished size
Each bag body is about 13 x 18 cm at gauge; the free strap is about 95-100 cm. Body colours are red, icy blue, caramel and chestnut. Character pieces are divided between the flap and front so the flap opens. The gnome has no eyes; no character has a mouth.
Use 2 mm woven craft cord held TWO strands together on a 3.5 mm hook for all bag parts and the strap. Use ONE strand of DK cotton on a 2.0-2.5 mm hook for character pieces and edging. Add one four-hole sew-on magnetic snap set, needles, strong thread, markers, scissors, a ruler and a little stuffing. Fabric lining and covered antler wire are optional. Reindeer also uses a 6 mm bell and 15 cm ribbon.
Shopping allowance per bag: 350 m of main-colour cord, plus the per-colour DK amounts printed in the PDF. Loose crochet piece totals, including the four bag parts: Gnome 14, Snowman 12, Gingerbread House 23, Reindeer 25. The edging is worked in place. Intermediate: small counted pieces, texture stitches and careful sewing.
The same four characters are available as a tote bag pattern for a matching set. Sizes depend on gauge, shaping and sewing. Spot clean and dry flat. Keep any wire ends folded, taped and enclosed. Decorative bag, not a toy. Digital PDF crochet pattern only; no finished bag or materials are included.
