Crochet Daisy Phone Charging Pocket Pattern: A Free Step-by-Step Guide
If you’ve ever fumbled around trying to find your phone while it’s charging, or watched it dangle awkwardly from a wall outlet, you know exactly why a phone charging pocket is one of the most practical things you can crochet. This sweet daisy design turns a simple wall-hanging pocket into something genuinely pretty — the kind of thing you’d actually want to display in your bedroom, home office, or living room. In this post, you’ll find a complete crochet daisy phone charging pocket pattern with detailed instructions, helpful tips, yarn recommendations, and everything you need to make your own.
Whether you’re an intermediate crocheter looking for a quick and satisfying project or a beginner who’s mastered the basics and is ready to tackle something decorative and useful at the same time, this pattern is for you.
Why You Need a Phone Charging Pocket
Let’s talk about the problem first. Most phone chargers plug into an outlet near the baseboard, which means your phone ends up on the floor while charging — a recipe for accidentally stepping on it or knocking it off in the middle of the night. Some people drape their phones over the edge of a nightstand, which isn’t much better.
A phone charging pocket hangs directly on the wall over your outlet, creating a little nest for your phone to sit in while it charges. The cord runs through a small opening at the bottom of the pocket, your phone stays secure and accessible, and the whole thing looks intentional and charming.
The daisy motif adds a handmade touch that makes this piece feel like décor rather than a solution to a cord problem. It’s the kind of small project that people notice and compliment, and it makes an excellent gift.
Materials You’ll Need
Before you start, gather your supplies. Here’s what this pattern calls for:
Yarn: You’ll need worsted weight yarn (size 4) in three colors. For the classic daisy look, choose white for the petals, yellow for the center, and a green or soft neutral for the pocket body. You’ll use roughly 80 to 100 yards of the main body color, about 25 yards of white, and a small amount of yellow — less than 10 yards.
Hook: A 5mm (H/8) crochet hook works beautifully with worsted weight yarn for this project. If your gauge runs tight, size up to 5.5mm.
Other supplies: A yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, a stitch marker, and two buttons or a length of ribbon for the hanging loop at the top.
Optional: A small piece of cardboard or plastic canvas cut to size can be slipped into the pocket to give it a little structure if you want a stiffer finish.
Gauge and Sizing
Gauge isn’t critical for this project, but it does affect the finished size of your pocket. Working in single crochet with a 5mm hook and worsted weight yarn, aim for approximately 14 stitches and 16 rows to equal 4 inches. Your finished pocket should measure roughly 4 inches wide by 5 inches tall — large enough to hold most smartphones, including larger models.
If you’re working for a particularly large phone, you can add two extra stitches to your foundation chain and work two extra rows without changing anything else in the pattern.

Pattern Notes
This pattern is worked in two main parts: the pocket body and the daisy appliqué. The pocket is worked flat and then the sides are seamed. The daisy is worked separately and sewn on, which makes it easy to adjust placement or to leave the daisy off entirely if you want a simpler version.
Read through the entire pattern once before starting. It helps to picture the construction before you begin, especially when it comes to the hanging loop and the cord opening at the bottom.
Part One: The Pocket Body
Foundation Chain
With your main body color and a 5mm hook, chain 17.
Row 1: Sc in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. (16 sc) Chain 1, turn.
Rows 2 through 22: Sc in each st across. (16 sc) Chain 1, turn.
After Row 22, do not fasten off. You’ll use the working yarn to seam the pocket.
Creating the Pocket Shape
Fold the rectangle so that the bottom edge (your foundation chain) meets Row 14, with the right sides facing out. You’ll have a pocket front that’s 14 rows tall and a flap at the back that’s 8 rows tall. This back flap will fold over the outlet and hold the pocket in place.
Using your yarn needle or continuing with your hook, whip stitch or slip stitch the two side edges of the pocket together, connecting the front panel to the back panel on both sides. Fasten off and weave in ends.
The Cord Opening
At the bottom of the pocket, leave a small gap centered in the seam. You don’t need to cut anything — simply skip two or three slip stitches in the center of the bottom seam when you sew it closed. This gap is where your charging cord will pass through to reach your phone.
If you’ve already closed the bottom entirely, you can use a seam ripper or carefully snip two stitches open and reinforce the edges with a whip stitch to keep them from unraveling.
The Hanging Loop
On the top back flap, you’ll add a hanging loop. This is what slides over the outlet’s wall plate or rests on a small nail or hook.
With your main color, attach yarn at the top right corner of the back flap. Chain 20. Sl st to the top left corner of the flap. Fasten off and weave in ends.
You can also crochet a longer loop and tie it in a bow, or simply sew a folded length of ribbon across the top of the back flap if you prefer a different look.
Part Two: The Daisy Appliqué
The daisy is the star of this pattern and it comes together quickly once you know the technique. It’s worked in a center circle and then petals are added in rounds.
The Center Circle (Yellow)
With yellow yarn, make a magic ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, work 6 sc into the MR. Pull the ring closed. (6 sc) Do not join; place a stitch marker.
Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around. (12 sc) Sl st to the first sc of the round to join. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
The Petals (White)
Join white yarn to any st in Round 2 of the center circle with a sl st.
Petal Round: [Ch 7, sl st back into the first ch from the hook to form a ring, then work 9 sc into the ring, sl st back into the center circle in the same stitch you started from, sl st into the next st of the center circle] — repeat this sequence in each stitch of Round 2. (12 petals)
If 12 petals feel too crowded, you can work the petal sequence every other stitch in Round 2, giving you 6 larger-looking petals instead. The 6-petal version has a more classic daisy silhouette, while the 12-petal version looks lush and full.
Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Optional Leaf (Green)
For a small leaf to tuck beside your daisy, chain 10 with green yarn.
Row 1: Sc in the second chain from the hook, hdc in the next, dc in the next 4, hdc in the next, sc in the next, sl st in the last chain. Ch 1, turn.
Working along the other side of the foundation chain: sl st in the first st, sc in the next, hdc in the next, dc in the next 4, hdc in the next, sc in the last st. Sl st to join. Fasten off with a tail.
Make one or two leaves for a more botanical feel.
Assembling the Daisy
Place your finished daisy on the front of the pocket. A good starting position is centered horizontally, about a third of the way down from the top edge, but play with placement before you commit. Some people prefer the daisy offset to one side for a more casual look.
Thread your yarn needle with the tail you left on the center circle and sew the daisy to the pocket using small stitches around the perimeter of the yellow center. Pull snugly but not so tight that the fabric puckers. If you added leaves, sew those on now, tucking one end under the daisy for a natural effect.
Finishing Touches
Weave in any remaining ends very securely — a phone pocket gets used daily, so you want your finishing work to hold up. A dab of fabric glue on the woven-in ends adds extra security if you’re gifting this or worried about durability.
Stiffening (Optional)
If you want a crisper, more structured pocket, you have two options. You can lightly spray starch the finished pocket and shape it while damp, then let it dry flat. Alternatively, cut a small piece of plastic canvas to fit inside the pocket front and slip it in before gifting or using. The plastic canvas option is especially helpful if you’re using a softer yarn that tends to droop.
Button Loop (Optional)
Some crafters like to add a small button and loop to keep the flap closed more securely against the wall. To do this, sew a button to the center front of the pocket near the top edge. Then work a small button loop on the flap directly above it: with your hook, attach yarn to the flap’s center edge, chain 4, and sl st back into the same spot. This loop slips over the button to keep the flap from shifting.
Yarn and Color Suggestions
The beauty of this pattern is how easily it adapts to different color palettes. Here are a few combinations to consider depending on the room you’re decorating:
For a boho bedroom, try a terracotta or warm tan for the pocket body, ivory petals, and a golden yellow center. It pairs beautifully with wooden accents and warm lighting.
For a nursery or child’s room, soft pastel colors work wonderfully — a mint green pocket, white petals, and a pale lemon center has a sweet, gentle look that pairs with almost any nursery color scheme.
For a home office, a classic navy or charcoal pocket with crisp white petals and bright yellow center is graphic and modern. The contrast reads well against most wall colors and gives the piece a sophisticated edge.
For a pop of color in a kitchen or laundry room, try a bright coral or cobalt for the pocket body. It adds personality to a utilitarian space.
When it comes to yarn brand recommendations, Lion Brand Pound of Love and Red Heart Soft are both widely available, affordable, and come in huge color ranges. If you’d like a higher-end option, Paintbox Yarns Simply DK (held double to approximate worsted weight) gives a beautiful matte finish that photographs exceptionally well.
Gifting This Pattern
This phone charging pocket makes an outstanding gift, and the daisy version in particular has broad appeal across age groups. It’s a thoughtful, practical item that most people genuinely need but would never think to buy for themselves.
If you’re making it as a gift, consider pairing it with a new charging cable in a coordinating color, wrapped together in a small kraft paper bag. For a hostess gift or housewarming present, this is the kind of handmade item that gets immediate use rather than sitting on a shelf.
Gifting to someone who loves a specific flower other than daisies? The appliqué can be swapped out. A simple sunflower uses the same basic structure with slightly longer petals and a darker center. A rose can be worked in a spiral and attached the same way. The pocket body itself never changes — just the decoration on the front.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different yarn weight?
Yes, with adjustments. A DK weight yarn with a 4mm hook will give you a slightly smaller, more refined pocket. Bulky yarn with a 6mm hook produces a chunkier, more rustic result. Keep in mind that the pocket needs to be large enough for your phone, so swatch first and adjust your stitch count accordingly.
How do I keep the pocket from slipping down the wall?
Most phone charging pockets hang over the outlet’s wall plate, and the snugger the loop, the more secure the hang. If your loop is too loose, crochet a shorter one. You can also add a small piece of non-slip shelf liner or a dab of removable mounting putty to the back of the pocket for extra hold.
My daisy petals look floppy. What do I do?
Floppy petals usually mean the yarn is too soft or the petals are a little too long. Try working fewer chains (5 or 6 instead of 7) to make the petals slightly shorter and more compact. You can also use a smaller hook for the petal round only, which tightens the tension and gives the petals better shape.
Can I make this with cotton yarn?
Absolutely. A cotton yarn like Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran or Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton gives the pocket a slightly stiffer, more structured feel naturally, which many people prefer. It also makes the finished piece easier to wipe clean, which is a nice bonus for something that lives near a wall outlet.
How long does this take to make?
Most crocheters with intermediate experience finish the pocket body in about 45 minutes and the daisy in another 20 to 30 minutes. Including assembly and finishing, you’re looking at roughly 90 minutes for a complete project from start to finish. It’s an ideal Sunday afternoon make.
A Few Final Tips
Block your daisy before sewing it on. Even a quick wet block — just dampening it and pinning it flat to dry — makes a big difference in how polished the finished flower looks.
If you’re planning to sell these at a craft fair or in an online shop, they’re fast enough to make in multiples and they photograph beautifully with a phone actually sitting in the pocket on a white wall backdrop.
Don’t be afraid to add embellishments. A few French knots in the yellow center, a small button flower added alongside the daisy, or a little crochet bee perched on one petal can take this from charming to truly special.
And finally — share your finished make! Whether you tag it on Instagram, pin it on Pinterest, or share it in a crochet community group, there’s always someone looking for a practical, pretty pattern just like this one. The crochet community loves seeing these kinds of adaptations, and your color choices or creative tweaks might inspire someone else’s version.
Happy crocheting, and enjoy that tidy, beautiful charging station you’ve made with your own hands.
