- About 50–70 g
Crochet hook:
- Size 4 mm–5 mm (G/6–H/8)

Height (folded): 9–10 cm (3.5–4 in)

Perfect for:

Cash & cards
Small cosmetics
Gift cards

👉 Easy to resize by adding stitches or rows.

3. Stitches Used (Beginner Level)

You only need to know:

Chain (ch)
Single crochet (sc) or half double crochet (hdc)
Slip stitch (sl st)

That’s it! 🙌

4. Gauge (Not Critical!)

As long as your stitches are tight and even, your wallet will look great.

5. Step-by-Step Instructions

STEP 1: Crochet the Base

Chain 31 (adjust for width)
Single crochet (or half double crochet) in the second chain from the hook
Continue across
Chain 1, turn

You should have 30 stitches

STEP 2: Build the Body

Crochet sc (or hdc) in every stitch
Chain 1, turn at the end of each row
Continue until the piece measures 28–30 cm (11–12 in) long

💡 This long rectangle will become the envelope.

STEP 3: Create the Envelope Shape

Lay your piece flat:

Fold the bottom third upward (this forms the pocket)
Fold the top third downward into a triangle or straight flap

Adjust folds until it looks like an envelope 📩

STEP 4: Sew the Sides

Thread yarn needle
Sew both side edges of the pocket only
Leave the flap free

Weave in ends neatly.

STEP 5: Closure (Optional but Recommended)

Choose one:

Sew on a button
Add a snap fastener
Use a magnetic clasp
Crochet a loop for a button

👉 Simple closure = polished look!

6. Optional Decorative Flap

For a cute envelope flap:

Crochet 2–3 rows of decreases at the top center
Or add picot edging
Or change color for the flap

7. Beginner Tips 🌱

Use cotton yarn for structure
Keep stitches tight so cards don’t slip out
Count stitches every row
Block lightly if edges curl

8. Customization Ideas ✨

Color-block design
Stripes or textured stitches
Add lining fabric for luxury feel
Embroider initials or flowers
Use metallic button for elegance
