Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet an adorable no-sew wallet or card holder inspired by a bear and a frog. This project is perfect for beginners and only requires minimal sewing to complete. Follow the steps below to create your very own cute and functional accessory.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start crocheting, ensure you have all the necessary supplies:

• Yarn (choose colors for the bear and frog)
• Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle (for weaving in ends and sewing the frog's smile)
• Stitch markers (optional, for keeping track of your stitches)

Step 2: Crochet the Base

Create the main body of your wallet:

1. Chain Stitch: Start by making a slip knot and chaining a specific number of stitches (refer to the video for the exact count).
2. Single Crochet: In the second chain from the hook, single crochet across the chain. This will form the base of your wallet.
3. Rows: Continue to crochet in rows, following the pattern shown in the video. Ensure to maintain consistent tension for a neat finish.

Step 3: Shape the Wallet

Once you have the desired length for the wallet:

1. Fold and Join: Fold the crocheted piece in half to form the wallet shape.
2. Joining Edges: Use slip stitches or single crochet to join the sides, leaving the top open for inserting cards or cash.

Step 4: Create the Features

Now, add the decorative elements to your wallet:

1. Bear Features:

   • Crochet small circles for the ears and attach them to the top of the wallet.
   • Use yarn to create eyes and a nose, or you can use safety eyes for a more polished look.

2. Frog Features:

   • Crochet the frog's eyes and attach them at the top of the wallet.
   • For the smile, you will need to sew it on, using a yarn needle and a long piece of yarn.

Step 5: Final Touches

Complete your wallet with any additional embellishments:

• Weave in any loose ends with your yarn needle so that your project looks tidy.
• Consider adding a button or a snap closure for added functionality.
