Round crochet wallet with a layered flower motif

Flower Motif

This round starts the flower center in white before switching to yellow partway through, so pull the short thread end snug as you change colors to keep the join tidy at the base of the petals.

1. Round 1

   Make a magic ring; ch 1, then 6 sc into the ring with white thread; pull a bit of the short end, switch colors to yellow by hooking into both loops of the last sc, pulling through the yellow thread, and continuing in the ring for a total of 9 sc; pull the thread ends and join with a sl st into the starting sc. (9 sc)

2. Round 2(3)

   Switch to dark purple thread; working only through the front loops of the last yellow loop, ch 3; in each of the next two front loops, make 3 tc in one loop for a total of 9 tc; ch 3 again, then sl st into the same hole to form one flower petal; repeat the process two more times for a total of 3 flower petals. (3 petals)

3. Round 3

   Replace the thread with light purple; start with a slip knot, ch 1; go through the beginning three chains, make 1 sc; for the next stitches, follow with an increase pattern: 2 sc in one hole, then hdc increase twice, dc increase twice, finishing back down with hdc increase, 1 sc in the last, then ch 1; repeat this for the next petal.

Separate Flower Petals and Leaves

1. Round 1

   Create a magic ring, ch 3, and make 9 tc; then ch 3 and sl st in the magic ring, resembling the first row of flower petals. (9 tc)

2. Round 2

   For leaves, make a slip knot and ch 9; backtrack 8 chains with an hdc incomplete stitch, completing each stitch every two loops across.

Wallet Body

1. Round 1

   Start with a magic ring; for the base, follow the pattern of two sc and an sc increase, repeating around.

2. Round 2

   Continue increasing in subsequent rows to expand the wallet body, switching to doubles and following the pattern for the desired circumference.

Where it goes

• A coin and card wallet that clips onto a bag strap for quick trips to the market.
• A small gift alongside a journal or a set of hair clips for someone who likes handmade details.
• A dresser-top catchall for earrings and rings, using the wallet body as a soft little tray.
• A travel pouch for earbuds or a phone charger, since the D ring lets it hang inside a larger bag.

Color ideas

• Classic bloom White and yellow for round 1 of the flower motif, dark purple for the tc petals in round 2, light purple for the petal shaping in round 3, with the wallet body worked in a neutral thread.
• Tonal garden A single warm color family throughout, deepest shade for the wallet body, mid-tone for the separate flower petals round, and the lightest tint reserved for the leaf piece and the fan lace edging.

Care

Hand wash the finished wallet in cool water with a mild soap, since polycherry thread holds its shape better without a machine cycle.

Lay it flat on a towel to air dry, gently smoothing the petals so they dry sitting open rather than curled.

Store it flat or loosely stuffed with tissue in a drawer, away from folding pressure that can crease the round base.

Assembly

1. Step 1 Hem the opening of the wallet with puff stitches for decorative edging.
2. Step 2 Create a lace edging in row 6 with a fan motif, alternating single crochet and 5 double crochets in one hole.
3. Step 3 Make a strap approximately 30 cm long and attach securely.
4. Step 4 Finally, sew in a zipper and a D ring for closure and hanging.
5. Step 5 Sew the separate flower petals and leaves onto the wallet body as desired for decoration.

Easy to get wrong

Listener questions

• Can I make the flower motif in one color instead of three?

  Yes, you can carry a single thread color through all three rounds if you prefer a simpler look. You will lose the layered contrast between the base, petals, and shaping rounds, but the structure still works fine.

• Why does the pattern include a separate flower motif and leaf piece?

  Those pieces are extra decoration meant to be sewn onto the wallet body alongside the main flower. They let you build a fuller, layered arrangement rather than relying on a single bloom.

• What hook and thread does this pattern call for?

  It is worked with Onitsuga polycherry thread and a 4/0 hook from Tulip. Both are listed in the materials so you can match gauge to the sample.

• How do I attach the zipper and D ring?

  Those go in near the end, after the fan lace edging is complete, as part of the assembly steps. The zipper closes the opening and the D ring gives you a point to hang the strap from.

• Is the fan lace edging difficult for a newer crocheter?

  It is a repeating pattern of alternating sc and clusters of dc worked into one hole, so once you catch the rhythm it moves quickly. I would still call this an intermediate project overall because of the front-loop petal work.
