Small Round Crochet Pouch (Wallet) Pattern

Before You Start

Read the pattern once to understand construction steps—circular base, back loop flap, and assembly.
Use 100% cotton yarn for durability and structure.
Choose colors to suit your style; change colors for the flap for contrast.
Keep a stitch marker handy for tracking your rounds.
Be familiar with working in continuous rounds (no slip stitch joins).

Pattern Notes

This pouch is worked in two identical flat circular pieces.
The pouch “gusset/side” is built using single crochet rows worked back loop only and attached as you go, creating a seamless edge.
The flap is made with single crochet, worked in rows, and increased at the curve.
Fastener (snap/velcro/button) is sewn before flap attachment for easier placement.
Seamless join and careful end-weaving make the pouch durable.
The pouch closes with a snap, and the curves let it open wide.

How I Made the Crochet Pattern

Created 2 simple flat circles using rounds of single crochet in the spiral method.
Built the side gusset directly onto both circles using slip stitches, chains, and back-loop single crochet.
Crocheted a shaped flap separately, with increases at the curve, and joined it to the pouch.
Added a snap/fastener, then neatly seamed the flap on for a finished look.

Skill Level

Confident Beginner:
Must understand working in the round, increasing, single crochet, back loop only (BLO), color changes, and basic seaming.

Finished Size

Pouch diameter: approx. 3″ (7.5 cm)
Total height (with flap): approx. 3.7″ (9.5 cm)
Depth/gusset: about 0.6″ (1.5 cm)

Materials

100% cotton yarn, light worsted (DK/#3 or aran/#4) in two colors
3.0 mm crochet hook
Stitch marker
Small pair of scissors
Yarn needle/tapestry needle
Snap/velcro/button for closure
Sewing needle and thread (to sew fastener)

Gauge & Stitch Pattern

6 rounds sc in spiral = 3″ (7.5 cm) diameter circle
6 sc per 1″ (2.5 cm)
Gauge not critical, but tight stitches recommended to prevent stretching.

Special Stitches

Magic Circle:
Wrap yarn into a ring, insert hook, pull yarn through, ch 1 to secure.
BLO Single Crochet:
Insert hook into back loop only of stitch (leaving front loop unworked), then work sc as usual.
Invisible Fasten Off:
When finishing a round, use a needle to create a neat, invisible join.

The Pattern

Circular Base (Make 2)

Rnd 1:

Work 6 sc into a magic circle (do NOT count initial ch-1 as a stitch). [6]
Tighten ring.

Rnd 2:

2 sc in each st around. [12]

Rnd 3:

(sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) repeat around. [18]

Rnd 4:

(sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) repeat around. [24]

Rnd 5:

(sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) repeat around. [30]

Rnd 6:

Sc in each st around (no increases). [30]

End one piece with an invisible fasten off for a neat edge (see Special Stitches for details). Do not fasten off on the second piece; set aside.

If you prefer a visual explanation: crochet a flat disk, gradually increasing each round for a smooth, circular pouch base until you have 30 single crochets around. Repeat to make two pieces.

Side and Joining Strip (Worked as You Go)

With working yarn still attached to second circle, ch 9.
Turn, skip first chain, sc in next 8 ch (working into the “back bump” of chain) for a neat edge.

Begin attaching to first (finished-off) circle:

Sl st to next st along edge of first circle (using back loop only for a neat inside seam).
Ch 1, turn.
Skip sl st just made, sc BLO in each sc across (8), turn.
Sl st to next BACK LOOP on circle (skip the st just connected to).
Repeat: ch 1, turn, sc BLO across, sl st to next unused BLO on circle, until 22–23 rows are worked and you have 4 stitches unworked on each side.

These steps create the walls/sides of the pouch, joining the circles with rows of single crochet as you go. All stitches of the side are done in the BLO for subtle stretch and a pleasing texture.

Finishing Gusset

Cut yarn, leave 10″ (25 cm) tail.
Whipstitch remaining sides for final 4 stitches of both circles to create a complete ridge and opening.
Fasten securely and weave in all ends.

If you don’t read patterns: you’ll be joining the two circles around most of their edge with a single-crochet strip and leaving a gap at the top for the flap.

Crochet Flap

With contrasting yarn, ch 13.

Row 1:

Turn, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each remaining ch across (12).

Row 2:

Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across, add 2 extra sc in last st for a gentle curve (total 14).

Row 3:

Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across (14).

Row 4:

Change to main color at last st if desired for a colored edge.
Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across. Increase as needed at the midpoint for a rounded curve (up to 15 sc).

Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Small Crochet Round PouchBag Pattern

You’ve just made a half-oval or horseshoe-shaped flap to close the pouch.

Assembly & Finishing

Attach fasteners (snap, velcro, or button) to pouch and flap before final joining for easier placement.
Center the flap inside the opening, matching curves.
Whipstitch or sew flap edge neatly to pouch along remaining gap, catching both pouch and flap edges.
Weave all ends using a yarn needle.
Tuck all loose ends to the inside for a polished finish.
Use sewing thread and needle for securely attaching snaps/velcro.
