Let me walk you through everything — the materials, the stitches, the step-by-step instructions, tips for customizing, and ideas for gifting. By the end of this post, you will have everything you need to make your very own crochet daisy phone strap and wear your craft with pride.
Why a Crochet Phone Strap?
Phone straps have been having a major moment lately, and honestly, it makes perfect sense. A phone strap keeps your device safely attached to your wrist or bag so you are less likely to drop it or lose it. But beyond the practical benefits, a handmade crochet phone strap is a tiny piece of wearable art that sparks conversation wherever you go.
Daisy designs in particular are having a huge resurgence in the craft and fashion world. Daisies feel fresh, nostalgic, and cheerful all at once. They remind people of summer fields and carefree days, and when you work them in yarn, they translate beautifully into a dimensional, textured design that is just as pretty on a phone as it is on a sweater or tote bag.
Crochet phone straps also make incredible gifts. They are small enough to finish in a single sitting, use minimal materials, and feel incredibly personal because they are made by hand. If you are looking for a last-minute gift idea for a birthday, a holiday, or just to show someone you care, a crochet daisy phone strap is perfect.
About This Pattern
This free crochet daisy phone strap pattern by Celtic Knot Crochet is designed to be approachable for all skill levels. If you know how to single crochet, you can make this strap. The daisy motif itself uses a simple petal technique that looks far more complicated than it actually is, which means you get maximum impact for a very modest time investment.
The finished strap is adjustable in length, which means you can make it work as a wrist strap, a crossbody phone lanyard, or a short loop to attach to a bag. The pattern uses a wrist strap length as the default, but I will share guidance on how to lengthen it later in the post.
The daisy appliqué is worked separately and then attached to the strap, giving you complete control over the placement and making it easy to add multiple flowers if you want a more elaborate design.
Materials You Will Need
One of the best things about this project is how little you need to get started. You probably already have most of these supplies in your stash.
Yarn: You will need a small amount of fingering weight or sport weight yarn in at least two colors — one for the daisy petals (white or cream works beautifully) and one for the center (yellow is classic, but orange, pink, or even dark brown are all lovely options). You will also need a color for the strap itself. Neutral shades like beige, tan, or black are popular for the strap because they pair well with anything, but don’t be afraid to go bold with a bright color if that feels more like you.
Hook: A 2.5mm or 3mm crochet hook works best for fingering weight yarn. If you are using sport weight, a 3.5mm hook will give you a nice tight tension that keeps the strap sturdy.
Phone strap hardware: You will need a phone strap connector or lug, which is a small piece of hardware with a loop that attaches to your phone case. These are inexpensive and widely available online. You will also want a lobster claw clasp or a swivel clasp and a jump ring or two to connect your crochet strap to the hardware cleanly.
Scissors and a tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and sewing the daisy to the strap.
Optional: Stitch markers, a small amount of fiberfill or a button for the daisy center if you want a dimensional look.
Abbreviations and Stitches Used
Throughout this pattern, the following abbreviations apply:
ch — chain
sl st — slip stitch
sc — single crochet
dc — double crochet
st — stitch
sp — space
MR — magic ring
If you are new to any of these stitches, there are plenty of video tutorials available online that can walk you through each one visually. Single crochet and double crochet are both foundational stitches that are well worth learning, and once you have them, an enormous world of patterns opens up to you.
The Strap Pattern
Finished length (wrist strap): approximately 22 cm / 8.5 inches before hardware
Yarn: sport weight in your chosen strap color
Hook: 3mm
To begin, chain 5. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring, then work single crochet stitches into the ring to create a tight, cord-like tube. This is worked in a continuous spiral rather than in joined rounds, which gives the strap a smooth, even look.
Round 1: Work 6 sc into the ring. Do not join. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch to track your rounds.
Continue working sc in each stitch around, moving your stitch marker up at the end of every round. Work in this manner until the strap measures approximately 22 cm or your desired length. The tight, tubular structure that results from working in the round with a smaller hook than the yarn calls for gives the strap a firm, rope-like quality that holds up beautifully to daily use.
When the strap reaches your desired length, fasten off and leave a tail for attaching to the clasp hardware. Thread the tail through your tapestry needle and use it to secure the hardware loop to one end of the strap, stitching around the loop several times to make sure it is firmly attached. Repeat on the other end.
If you prefer a flatter strap rather than a tubular one, you can work the strap in rows instead. Chain 5 and work single crochet across. Turn and repeat for as many rows as needed until you reach your desired length. This creates a flat, ribbon-like strap that has a slightly different look and feel. Both styles work beautifully with the daisy appliqué.
The Daisy Motif
This is the star of the show, and I promise it is easier than it looks. The daisy is worked in two parts — the center and the petals — and then the two pieces are joined together.
Daisy Center
Using your center color and a 2.5mm or 3mm hook:
Make a magic ring.
Round 1: Chain 1, work 6 sc into the ring. Pull the ring tight and slip stitch to the first sc to join. (6 stitches)
Round 2: Chain 1, work 2 sc into each stitch around. Slip stitch to join. (12 stitches)
Fasten off, leaving a tail. If you want a slightly raised center, you can stuff the circle lightly with a tiny amount of fiberfill before closing it up, then use your tapestry needle and tail to gather and close the back. This gives the daisy center a sweet dimensional quality that makes the finished motif look even more realistic.
Daisy Petals
Using your petal color and a 2.5mm or 3mm hook:
Make a magic ring.
Round 1: Chain 1, work 8 sc into the ring. Pull tight. Do not join. (8 stitches)
For each petal, work as follows directly into each stitch around the ring:
Chain 8. Starting in the second chain from the hook, sc in the next 7 chains. Slip stitch back into the base stitch at the center ring.
Repeat this process for all 8 stitches in the ring to create 8 petals total.
Once all petals are complete, pull the magic ring tight and slip stitch to close the center. Fasten off and weave in the tail at the back.
Assembling the Daisy
Place the center circle on top of the petal piece, aligning it centrally so the petals fan out evenly around it. Using your tapestry needle and a length of matching yarn, stitch the center to the petal piece around the perimeter, going through both layers to secure them firmly together. The stitching will be hidden beneath the center circle, so it does not need to be particularly tidy — it just needs to be secure.
Attaching the Daisy to the Strap
Once your daisy is assembled and your strap is complete, you get to decide where you want the daisy to sit. Most makers choose to place it near the midpoint of the strap, where it will be most visible when the strap is in use. Some prefer to place it near one end, closer to the phone attachment point, for a slightly different look.
To attach the daisy, use your tapestry needle and a length of yarn in either the petal color or the strap color (whichever blends better on the back of your work). Stitch the daisy to the strap by going through the strap and through the back of the petal piece several times, pulling firmly each time to make sure the daisy is secure and will not shift or rotate during use. Fasten off on the back of the strap and weave in all remaining ends.
Customization Ideas
One of the most joyful things about making your own accessories is the ability to make them truly your own. Here are some ideas for personalizing your crochet daisy phone strap.
Color play: The obvious but endlessly satisfying option is to change up the color palette. Try a yellow strap with white and pink daisies, or a deep navy strap with bright white and golden daisies for a bold, graphic look. Pastel combinations give the strap a soft, cottagecore vibe, while bright, saturated colors make it feel modern and playful.
Multiple daisies: Instead of a single daisy, try placing three small daisies along the strap for a garden effect. You could also add tiny leaf shapes made from a simple chain and slip stitch technique to give the design a more botanical feel.
Embellishments: A small pearl bead or a tiny rhinestone at the center of the daisy can add a glamorous touch that elevates the whole accessory. Make sure to stitch any beads securely so they cannot come loose.
Different flower shapes: Once you understand the basic structure of this pattern, you can experiment with petal count and length. Fewer, longer petals give you a different flower shape — think more of a gerbera daisy or a sunflower feel. More petals packed tightly together create a chrysanthemum effect.
Lengthening the strap: To make a crossbody phone lanyard, simply continue working the strap in the round until it reaches approximately 120 cm / 47 inches or your desired length. You may want to add a small swivel clasp in the middle to make the lanyard easy to attach and detach.
Adding fringe: A few short strands of yarn tied at the bottom of the strap give it a boho, festival-ready vibe. This looks particularly beautiful with earthy tones and a natural fiber yarn.
Tips for Success
A few pieces of practical advice can make the process even smoother.
Work with a tight tension throughout the strap to ensure it is sturdy and holds its shape well. If your tension tends to be loose, try going down half a hook size or working with a little more deliberate control.
When attaching the hardware, double-check that your stitching is very secure before trusting it with your phone. It is worth going around the loop three or four times rather than just once or twice. The last thing you want is for the strap to give way and your phone to hit the pavement.
If you find the magic ring technique tricky, you can always substitute a chain 2 and work your stitches into the second chain from the hook instead. The center will be very slightly less tight, but it works perfectly well for a small motif like this.
Block the finished daisy if you want the petals to lie extra flat and neat. A light spritz of water and a gentle shaping with your fingers before leaving it to dry flat will make a noticeable difference.
Gifting Your Crochet Daisy Phone Strap
If you are making this strap as a gift, presentation goes a long way. A simple piece of cardstock folded into a small tag with a handwritten note makes the gift feel extra special. You might include the yarn content information in case the recipient has allergies or sensitivities, and a quick note about care instructions — most yarn phone straps can be hand washed gently in cool water and laid flat to dry.
Consider customizing the colors to match the recipient’s personal style. If your friend always wears neutrals, a sandy beige strap with white daisies and a golden center will feel tailored to her taste. For someone who loves maximalist color, go wild with a rainbow strap and multicolored daisies.
This pattern also lends itself beautifully to making several at once. Once you have made one or two and have the process down, you can set up a small assembly line and create a batch for a craft fair, a swap, or a group of friends who all want matching straps.
