Materials

  1. Crochet Hooks:
    • 2.75 mm hook for the main body.
    • 1 mm hook for the flowers and leaves (thin hooks help with delicate designs).
  2. Thread:
    • Perlé cotton (fine yarn) in two colors for the body of the wallet, worked with double strands for durability.
    • Mercerized cotton in green for leaves and additional thread colors for flowers as desired.
  3. Metal Wallet Clasp: A nozzle clasp. The size can vary; adjustments in the pattern will ensure it fits well.
  4. Scissors: For trimming threads.
  5. Tape Measure: To measure the wallet dimensions and ensure fit.
  6. Metal Tapestry/Wool Needle: Thin and blunt-pointed needle, suitable for threading through narrow clasp holes.
  7. Hot Silicone Glue: For securing embellishments like flowers and leaves.
  8. Optional Felt Piece: Used for hiding knots or securing decorations.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wallet Base

  1. Slip Ring Creation:
    • Using two strands of perlé cotton (cream and secondary color), create a slip ring and secure it tightly.
    • Chain 1 and crochet 6 single crochet (SC) stitches into the ring. Close tightly.
  2. Increase Rounds (Adjust size as per clasp requirements):
    • Round 1: Crochet 6 increases (2 SC into each stitch) to create a total of 12 SC stitches.
    • Round 2: Work 1 SC, 1 increase around, finishing with 18 SC stitches.
    • Round 3: Work 2 SC, 1 increase around, finishing with 24 SC stitches.
      Save
    • Round 4: Work 3 SC, 1 increase around, finishing with 30 SC stitches.
    • Continue increasing following this pattern (4 SC, 1 increase; 5 SC, 1 increase, etc.), measuring frequently against the clasp until the diameter fits perfectly.
    • For the tutorial example:
      • Final round: 9 SC, 1 increase with a total of 66 SC stitches.
  3. Transition to Height (Body):
    • Decide whether to crochet into the back loop only for a defined edge between the base and body or continue straight for a seamless design.
    • Crochet straight without increases for a height of 5–7 cm (or as desired). For the tutorial, the height reached was 6.8 cm.

Floral Embellishments

Roses (Small Flowers)

  1. Create the Base:
    • Take a single strand of perlé cotton (cream or preferred color) and chain 12 stitches.
    • Start from the 2nd chain and crochet 4 half double crochet (HDC) stitches into the same space.
    • In the next chain, work 1 slip stitch.
    • Alternate between 4 HDC and 1 slip stitch across the chain to create 6 petals.
  2. Finish the Petal Spiral:
    • Chain 2, slip stitch into the first stitch, and fasten off.
    • Spiral the petals tightly to create a rose shape. Secure the shape by sewing using the leftover thread ends.
  3. Repeat: Make 3–4 roses in different colors for decoration.

Leaves

  1. Create the Base:
    • Using green mercerized cotton, chain 6 stitches.
    • Crochet the following on one side of the chain:
      • 2 single crochets (SC).
      • 3 half double crochets (HDC).
        Save
  2. Flip and Mirror:
    • Chain 1 at the tip, then work the same sequence backward on the opposite side of the chain:
      • 3 HDC, 2 SC.
  3. Finish: Slip stitch into the base and fasten off.
    • Make 2–3 leaves for decoration.

Assembly and Decoration

Attaching the Clasp

  1. Position the Clasp: Test the fit of the nozzle clasp over the crocheted base. Most clasps have fewer attachment points than wallet stitches. Adjust by attaching 2 SC stitches per clasp hole in sections where needed.
  2. Sew the Clasp:
    • Use the metal tapestry needle and matching thread to sew the clasp securely.
    • Work a straight stitch through clasp holes and weave through adjacent wallet stitches.
  3. Center Securing: Use extra stitching or thread reinforcement for riveted clasp centers to ensure durability.
    Save

Adding Decorations

  1. Attach Roses and Leaves:
    • Arrange the flowers and leaves as desired near one side of the wallet.
      • For subtle elegance, place them along the edge.
      • For highlighted decoration, center them atop the wallet.
    • Secure using leftover yarn threads and hot silicone glue for additional hold.
      Save
  2. Finish with a Felt Patch (Optional):
    • To hide thread knots or secure glued leaves and flowers, attach a small piece of felt to the wallet's interior where decorations connect.
      Save

Suggestions

  1. Measure Constantly: Ensure the wallet diameter matches the clasp size by measuring frequently. Adjust stitches or rounds if needed.
  2. Test Stretch: Tightly crocheted wallets hold better structure but can be tricky to stretch when attaching the clasp.
  3. Neat Assembly: Use a needle appropriate for the clasp-hole size to avoid damaging fabric or uneven stitching.
  4. Flower Color Selection: Choose vibrant or contrasting colors for roses and leaves to enhance the decoration.

Variation ideas

  1. Color Variations: Experiment with multicolor yarns for a unique marbled wallet.
  2. Size Adjustments:
    • Larger wallets can hold cards and other items. Simply increase the number of base rounds before switching to height.
    • Smaller wallets can work as coin purses; use fewer base increases and adjust height accordingly.
  3. Design Details: Include bows, buttons, or embroidery on the wallet exterior for a personalized touch.

Closing

This wallet combines functionality with artistry, creating a meaningful item that’s perfect for gifting (especially Mother’s Day), selling, or everyday use. With proper color choices and careful craftsmanship, the final product is elegant and practical—a thoughtful handmade accessory.
