Materials

Whether made for personal use or as a thoughtful handmade gift, it adds beauty and practicality to everyday life. This project is enjoyable for many makers because it produces a practical item that feels neat, sturdy, and reliable.
The pattern usually begins by forming a flat base using even stitches to ensure a strong foundation.
From there, the sides are built upward in rows or rounds to create the desired depth.
The video tutorial explains how to maintain consistent tension so the wallet keeps its shape.
Once the body is complete, edges are finished cleanly, and optional features such as a zipper, button, or flap can be added for security.
Loose ends are carefully woven in to give the wallet a polished finish.
Special Features
The standout feature is the integrated central pocket. Unlike basic wallets, this design uses the structural divider as a zippered compartment, creating two separate open sections for cash or a phone while keeping coins or cards safe in the middle.
Level of Difficulty
The difficulty is Intermediate. While the stitches are simple (single crochet), the project requires precise counting and the ability to attach new yarn to the body of a finished piece. The assembly and zipper installation also require a bit of patience.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Thread Choice: Use transparent plastic thread for sewing the zipper and sides. This makes the assembly look professional and "seamless" since the thread won't clash with the yarn color.
-
Row Counting: Carefully count the 12 rows on the pocket piece before attaching the front and back panels to ensure the wallet sits symmetrically.
Uses
This wallet is large enough (18cm x 11cm) to serve as a small clutch or a tech organizer. It comfortably fits a large smartphone, cash, coins, and several cards, making it ideal for quick errands or as an organizer inside a larger tote bag.
Conclusion
By following this method, you create a sturdy, "deep" wallet that maintains its shape thanks to the thick macrame yarn and clever side-panel construction. The result is a high-end, handmade accessory that rivals store-bought organizers in both durability and style.
Tip: When sewing the zipper, keep it slightly open. This prevents the fabric from bunching up and allows the needle to move more freely along the edges.
