This is a sweet sister pattern to my Meredith Festival Bag, a purse with compartments. The same delicate picot edging and Herringbone Half Double Crochet are used on both patterns, but this one is more compact. It also features an optional cash/ID pocket that is attached to the back wall to keep those small items handy and secure. It should fit phones up to 6.5” tall including case/cover. This item has been super popular with my daughter’s friends (the 11-14 age group). The Meredith Bag pattern is available in my Etsy & Ravelry shops.
