Pattern Instructions
1. Main Body (First Section)
Foundation: Leave a long tail for sewing. Ch 16 + 1 (turning chain). Total 17 chains.
Row 1: Skip the first ch. Working into the back bumps (humps) of the chain, sl st in each ch across. (16 sts)
Row 2: Ch 1 (pull tightly), turn. Sl st in the BLO of every stitch across. (16 sts)
Rows 3–5: Repeat Row 2. You will have a total of 5 rows of 16 stitches.
2. Flap Extension
Row 6: At the end of Row 5, do not turn yet. Ch 10 (to create flap length). Place a marker in the back bump of the 1st chain made.
Skip the first ch from the hook. Working into the back bumps of the remaining 9 chains, sl st in each.
Continue by sl st into the BLO of the 16 sts from the previous row. (Total 25 sts)
Row 7: Ch 1 (tightly), turn. Sl st in the BLO of all 25 sts.
Rows 8–10: Repeat Row 7. (You have now completed 10 total rows).

Rows 12–16: Repeat Row 2 on these 16 stitches. (Total 16 rows completed).
Finishing: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Assembly
Folding: Fold the two 16-row side sections together so they overlap. The extended 9-stitch section will remain at the top as the flap.
Sewing Sides: Use a yarn needle and the long tails. Join the side edges by sewing through the inner loops of both sides (the loops that touch when the edges are held together). Use a whip stitch or mattress stitch.
Hardware:
Sew the magnetic snap to the center of the underside of the flap and the corresponding spot on the front of the wallet.
Attach any decorative labels or buttons to the front as desired.
Final Touch: Turn the wallet right side out. Gently pull and manipulate the corners of the flap to sharpen the rectangular shape.
