Special Features of the Pouch Wallet

  • Two-Tone Colors: The pattern teaches a simple way to change yarn colors for added stylistic elements.
  • Length Double Crochet Stitch: A unique variation of double crochet that creates a textured and durable fabric.

  • Scalloped Edge: Gives the lid a beautiful finish with half double crochet clusters.
  • Loop Closure: Functional and easy to make, the loop ensures a secure closure for your wallet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Creating the Foundation

  1. Start with a Slip Knot: Create a slip knot and make a foundation chain of 22 stitches.
  2. Length Double Crochet (LDC) Setup:
    • Skip the first chain and begin the length double crochet stitch in the second chain from the hook. Here’s how:
      • Insert the hook into the chain and pull up a loop.
      • Insert the hook into the next chain and pull up another loop (you’ll now have three loops on your hook).
      • Yarn over, pull through two loops, and yarn over again, pulling through the remaining two loops.
  3. Repeat: Create 18 length double crochets across the row, excluding the two stitches from the start.
  4. Turn the Corner: In the last chain, make 5 length double crochet stitches to create the curve for the other side of the wallet.
  5. Complete the Other Side: Work 18 length double crochets along the opposite side of the foundation chain.
  6. Close the Row: In the last chain, where both sides meet, make 3 more length double crochets to complete the round. Slip stitch to the first stitch to close the row (46 total stitches).

2: Building the Wallet Body

  1. Row 2:
    • Chain 2, and work one length double crochet into each of the 46 stitches around. Slip stitch to close the row.
  2. Rows 3–5:
    • Repeat Row 2 for three more rows, keeping 46 stitches. This forms the body of the wallet.

3: Adding the Flower Design (Optional)

  1. Color Change (Row 6):
    • Start working 34 length double crochets, then change to the second yarn color.
  2. Creating Petals:
    • Make 2 regular double crochet stitches into one stitch, then chain 2. Using the next double crochet as the base, insert your hook in the middle gap to begin the flower motif. Make three petals per flower, repeating double crochets, chain 2s, and slip stitches as demonstrated.
  3. Return to Main Color: Once the flower is complete, return to the main color and continue making length double crochets to the end of the row.

4: Creating the Wallet Lid

  1. Start the Lid:
    • In Row 10, change color for the lid section. Work 23 length double crochets across.
  2. Rows 11–14:
    • Chain 2, turn, and work another row of 23 length double crochets. Repeat this process for 4 rows to complete the lid.
  3. Finish the Ends:
    • Fasten off the yarn and leave enough tail to weave in the ends securely.

5: Adding the Scalloped Edge

  1. Rejoin Yarn at Lid’s Edge: Use the alternate yarn color (optional).
  2. Scallop Formation:
    • Work 5 half double crochets into one stitch, skip one stitch, and then make a single crochet into the next. Repeat this sequence across the lid.
  3. Create the Loop: For the closure loop, chain 15 and slip stitch it into place.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Take it Slowly with the Flower: The pattern mentions that the flower step could be tricky; be patient and repeat as necessary to master it.
  • Use Stitch Markers: Marking key stitches or chains can help maintain accuracy, especially during the flower design.
  • Adjust Lengths if Needed: You can modify the dimensions by lengthening or shortening the foundation chain and rows.
  • Color Coordination: If using multiple yarns, make sure the colors complement each other for a pleasing result.

Uses for This Crochet Pouch Wallet

  • Everyday Use: Perfect as a coin pouch or small storage for daily items.
  • Gift Item: A thoughtful and handmade gift for a friend or loved one.
  • Beginner Training: While the project isn’t geared toward total beginners, it’s a great project for those comfortable with the basics of crochet.

Tip

Use a smaller crochet hook than usual if you want a more compact, tighter wallet. This will help the pouch maintain its shape and longevity over time.
