Crochet Crossbody Phone Holder

I want a different style for my phone holder. I want it something unique,a different crochet stitches

So i search on the net and i found this lovely textured diamond shape design. Bavarian stitch. 

This pattern looks complicated but very easy to understand,

Normally this stitch pattern works from the center to form a big square. But in this pattern i used it in a phone holder. 

You can make this in solid colors or more than 1 color, 

In this photo i used 4 colors of Monaco mercerized cotton, and the other one is a monochromatic color of cannon yarn.

The size of this phone holder is 6" height and 3" width
