Description
I use my crochet exercise armband every day to hold my phone when I go for a walk! It’s also great for running and cycling as well. There is an optional small pocket to hold a house key or two if you like. Make it as a gift for the exercise junkie in your life ( if not you ) and the best thing is that you can personalise it with stripes, checks, embroidery or colors to reflect personal preferences.
The stretchy crochet armband is secured with velcro ( hook and loop fastener ) and a waste plastic screen is sewn in to make it waterproof as well.
The armband is crocheted in single crochet only with a few slip stitches, but the unique design makes it very functional and look just like the exercise armbands you can purchase.
It’s a modern and streamlined look and I spent a lot of time making a detailed video which takes you through the pattern step by step in addition to the written pattern which has many photos.
