The Crochet Pattern
1. Foundation and Panel
Step 1:
Make a slipknot and ch 23. (This is your foundation chain.)
Step 2:
Working back into the foundation chain, sc in the second ch from the hook and in each chain across.
- At the end of this row, you should have 22 sc.
(This is Row 1.)
Step 3:
Row 2 onwards
Ch 1 (turning chain), turn your work. Sc in the first stitch (right after the turning chain), then sc in each stitch to the end of row.
Step 4:
Repeat Row 2 until your work measures 14.5 cm, or until you have completed 40 rows of single crochet.
Tip: You can measure your work or count your rows; both methods are valid.
2. Creating the Buttonhole Flap
Step 5:
With right side facing, turn your work (after reaching 14.5 cm/40 rows).
Sc in the first 10 stitches (1 sc in each of next 10 sts).
Step 6:
Ch 2 (this creates your buttonhole), skip the next 2 sts.
Step 7:
Sc in each of the remaining 10 stitches.
- You now have 10 sc, 2 ch (buttonhole), and 10 sc for the row (total still 22 sts).
3. Working Over the Buttonhole
Step 8:
Ch 1, turn. Sc across row as follows:
- Sc in first 10 stitches.
- When you reach the ch-2 (buttonhole), work 2 sc into the buttonhole space.
- Then sc in the last 10 stitches.
- You should again have 22 sc across the row.
4. Folding and Joining the Sides
Step 9:
Fold your work so the pocket section is approximately 6 cm deep (bottom edge folded up towards the flap).
- Use a stitch marker to hold the fold in place at both edges.
- Repeat on the opposite edge. Make sure both sides are even.
Step 10:
Start at the side edge (with a slip knot on your hook if you broke yarn).
- Join with sc: Insert hook through both layers (front and back) at the side edge, pull up a loop and make a sc.
- Work 1 sc in each space up the entire side seam, making sure to keep sides aligned.
- At the very top, work 2 sc in the same stitch (corner increase for neatness).
Step 11:
Remove the stitch marker once the seam is complete.
Step 12:
Fasten off, leaving a tail to weave in.
Repeat the joining process on the other side seam of your wallet, ensuring an even finish.
5. Assembly & Finishing Touches
Step 13:
Thread a needle with matching yarn (or use the tail), and sew on your button to the bottom pocket panel, directly beneath the buttonhole flap. (Eyeball the best position so the buttonhole aligns when closed.)
Step 14:
Weave in any remaining ends using a needle, hiding them inside the seam.
Finished Size
- Your wallet should now measure approximately 14.5 cm x 6 cm when folded and finished.
- The closure should be neat, and the button should fit comfortably through the chain-2 buttonhole.
