✂️ Part 2: Assembly of the Wallet Body

Once the square is complete, you will fold it and seam two sides to form the pouch.

Folding: Lay the square flat with the right side facing up.
- Fold one corner towards the center. This section will become the closure flap.
- Fold the opposite corner up so that its two sides align with the two side edges of the flap, forming a pocket. The center section forms the back of the wallet.
Seaming the Sides: Use Color C and the SC join method for a strong seam.
- Join yarn at the bottom fold of one side.
- Place the two edges right sides together.
- Work SC through both corresponding stitches up the seam until you reach the edge of the flap opening.
- Fasten off and repeat the seam on the opposite side.
Weave in all ends securely before proceeding to the flap.

🪡 Part 3: The Flap and Edging

The remaining unseamed edges (the top opening and the flap) are finished with a clean border and a buttonhole.

Round 1: Edging the Top Opening (Color C)

Join Color C with a sl st at one corner where the seam ends.
Work SC evenly around the entire unseamed edge, starting along the main body opening, continuing around the raw edge of the flap, and finishing back at the starting corner.

Round 2: Buttonhole Setup (Color C)

Continue SC in each st around to the starting point.
Sl st to the first SC to join. Fasten off.

🔑 Part 4: Finishing and Closure

Button Placement: Place the button inside the wallet and press the flap down to align the buttonhole. Mark the position of the button on the main body of the wallet, ensuring it lines up perfectly under the buttonhole.
Sewing the Button: Using a needle and matching thread, firmly sew the button onto the marked spot on the wallet body.
Final Weaving: Give the wallet a final inspection and weave in any remaining loose ends.
