3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Wallet
Let’s walk through the Easy Crochet Trifold Wallet Miarti – TUTORIAL step by step. This wallet is made in one piece and folded into shape, making the process intuitive and satisfying.
Step 1: Make the foundation chain
Chain the width of your wallet (about 36–40 chains, depending on your desired size). This will be the longest side before folding. Add one extra chain for turning.
Step 2: Work the base fabric
Using single crochet stitches, work across the chain. Turn, and continue crocheting rows in single crochet until your piece measures around 18–20 cm in height.
Step 3: Create fold lines
Use different stitches or mark rows where you want the wallet to fold. Typically, a trifold design includes three equal parts—two outer flaps and a middle section for cards. Use slip stitches, tighter stitches, or place stitch markers to help with folding.
Step 4: Add pocket sections
You can now crochet small rectangles (same width, around 1/3 the height) and sew or crochet them onto the inside panels to create pockets for cards or coins.
Step 5: Optional coin pouch
Make a small flap with a buttonhole and stitch it inside the wallet for a coin compartment. This step adds functionality without complicating the project.
Step 6: Add closure
Sew on a button, snap, or Velcro strip to keep the wallet securely folded. You can also add a strap or loop if you’d like to attach it to a keyring or bag.
Step 7: Weave in ends and shape
Use your yarn needle to tidy up all yarn tails. Block lightly if needed to even out stitches and folds. Your Easy Crochet Trifold Wallet Miarti is now complete and ready to use!
4. Personalization and Creative Variations
This Easy Crochet Trifold Wallet Miarti – TUTORIAL gives you the foundation—but creativity is what brings it to life. Here are some fun and unique ways to customize your wallet:
Add texture
Use different stitch patterns like the moss stitch, half double crochet, or ribbing to change the texture of the wallet. This adds visual interest and personality.
Play with color
Make each section a different color. Try color blocking, stripes, or gradients. You can also add a contrasting trim or edging for a polished look.
Use leftover yarn
This pattern is small and yarn-efficient, making it a great stash buster. Combine scraps from other projects to make a colorful and eco-conscious wallet.
Attach labels or tags
Sew on a small fabric tag with a name, monogram, or inspirational word. This adds a boutique finish, perfect for gifts or craft fair sales.
Add lining or zippers
For a professional touch, add a fabric lining inside the wallet. You can also stitch in a small zipper pouch for coins or private notes.
Turn it into a gift set
Pair your handmade wallet with a crochet keychain, a cardholder, or a matching pouch. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or thank-you gifts.
Personalizing your project turns a simple wallet into a one-of-a-kind creation that reflects your style or the recipient’s personality.

Absolutely! Handmade wallets are great craft fair items. Just be sure to credit the design if required and avoid selling the pattern itself.
