Row 1: sc inc, 13 sc, sc inc (17)
Row 2 to 11: 17 sc (17)
R12: sc dec, 13 sc, sc dec (15)

Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
From the left of your folder’s back, count 6 stitches in the last row, then join the yarn again in the 6th stitch, with a ch 1 to secure it.
Then do as follow, starting the stitch where we joined the yarn:
R14: make a decrease with a sc in the 1st stitch then a hdc in the next one, (basically a sc-hdc-tog) this will create a little inclination. Continue with 2 hdc, then finish with a hdc decrease.
Cut the yarn and weave in all ends.
Time to sew! – Folder Crochet Wallet
Take the front and back pieces of your wallet and place them together. Make sure the edges are aligned.
Using a tapestry needle and a piece of yarn, start at one side leaving a small space at the top of the side unworked, then sew the 2 faces of the wallet together from one side, bottom then the other side, leaving the top untouched.
Once you’ve completed sewing the edges, weave in the loose ends to secure them.
Sew the velcro tape at the top of each wallet’s faces, on the inside.
