      \ud83e\ude84 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Crochet the Base Panel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Chain 30\u201335 stitches<\/strong> (adjust for wallet width).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Continue sc across<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Chain 1, turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Repeat rows until the rectangle measures about 18\u201320 cm (7\u20138 inches)<\/strong> long.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udc49 This rectangle will fold into three sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Create Card Slots (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Fold the bottom third of the panel upward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Attach yarn at one side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Crochet single crochet across<\/strong> to secure the fold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Add vertical seams (by sewing) to divide card pockets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          You can make 1\u20133 card slots<\/strong>, depending on preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udcc2 Step 3: Fold the Trifold Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              \n

            • Leave the top open for easy access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udd18 Step 5: Add a Closure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
