Tips on Selling

- Measurements for the wallet are shared for clarity: 3.5 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and a base width of about 2.3–2.5 inches.
Beginning the Crochet Work
- The tutorial starts with the creation of a simple magic ring. While magic ring instructions are not taught in detail, viewers are encouraged to consult other available tutorials on magic ring techniques.
- The process proceeds to chaining and working single crochet stitches into the magic ring to form the wallet’s base, with specific rounds focusing on increasing and shaping.
- The creator discusses potential issues with the magic ring, advising alternative methods if necessary for beginners.
Building the Base
- Round Pattern Instructions: Detailed guidance is given for incremental increases to form a perfect circular base. Instructions progressively expand the circle using patterns of single crochets followed by increases in every round.
- Adjustments ensure the circle remains flat while avoiding noticeable shapes like octagons caused by repetitive increases. This is achieved by strategically altering the placement of increases in later rounds.
Creating the Main Body
- Spike Stitch Introduction: The body of the wallet is created using alternating “long single crochet” and “short single crochet” stitches. This spike stitch technique adds texture and uniqueness to the wallet.
- Viewers are encouraged to determine the desired height for the wallet, with suggestions for common dimensions ranging around 7–7.5 cm.
- The creator emphasizes the seamless continuation of stitches without slip stitching to ensure uniformity.
Edge Finishing
- One round of single crochet is used for the edging to provide a clean and polished look.
- After completing the round, the tail is cut long enough to allow sewing for final assembly.
Assembling the Wallet
- Frame Attachment: The plastic frame is attached to the crocheted base, ensuring even distribution on both sides to shape the wallet correctly.
- The creator uses backstitch for sewing the wallet on the frame but does not demonstrate this step in full detail, redirecting viewers to other available tutorials.
- Excess strings are hidden or trimmed for a neat appearance.
Final Touches
- A wristlet handle or keychain ring can be added for extra functionality. The creator provides links to handle-making tutorials for those interested.
- The finished product is highlighted as a cute, sturdy, and customizable wallet.
