I designed this adorable little wrist wallet to be worn when you don’t feel like carrying a purse. If you are a mom like me, you start feeling like a pack mule after you load up on all the stuff you have to carry. I have often wished I had something just like this when shopping or going out on a date. This would also be great to wear when you do market fairs. The best part about this project is the majority of it is worked seamlessly with very little sewing!

Supplies Needed:

  • 50-75 yds of cotton/cotton blend DK yarn (size 3), such as Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend or Lion Brand Coboo. If you choose to use Coboo, you may need to go up a hook size or crochet more loosely. (Note: You could also use acrylic yarn, but it will stretch quite a bit.)
  • Crochet hook size F 3.75 mm (or size needed to obtain gauge) -3 small buttons 3/8” or 10 mm in size -1 2” (45 mm) metal ring, or any ring of your choice
  • Scissors, measuring tape, and yarn needle
