If you haven’t tried Lion Brand’s latest yarn for the Home Cording, you are missing out! It is the same type of material The Sak uses to make their bags and is extremely sturdy. The stitch definition is absolutely gorgeous and I have become addicted to making these cellphone bags with it.

In this pattern I also give instructions for a new technique that I have not seen before that gives a virtually invisible seam. I include a YouTube video tutorial for how to use this technique to eliminate the slanted seam that often occurs when ending and beginning a new round.
