notes:

This pattern is written in US Terminology and Imperial Measurements.

I highly recommend watching the video tutorial above before starting.

This pattern is written in crochet shorthand. Example: "SC 1" means to single crochet in the next stitch and "SC 30" means to single crochet into the next 30 stitches.

Chain 1 (CH 1) at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch.

Part one (Flap) is a semi-circle. Loosely pull magic circle closed to leave room for a stitch later step.

Part three, row 1 is worked in the 3rd loop on the right side (front) of the pattern. This will create a pocket.

I recommend using starch to block the wallet to maintain its shape while preventing fraying.
