Rows 14 to 27 (Wallet Flap)

Assembly of Wallet Body

• Continue working in back loops only:
  • Repeat 6 times:
    • 1 increase (2 sc in one stitch), 2 sc in next 2 stitches.
• Total stitches after round: 24 sc.

Part 3: Sunflower Center Decorative Loops

• Working in the front loops only of rounds 2 and 3:
  • Chain 3 (ch 3), skip 1 stitch, slip stitch (sl st) in the next stitch.
• Repeat this around the circle.
• This creates delicate loops around the sunflower center.

Part 4: White Sunflower Petals

Petal Base Setup (Work into Round 4)

• Using white yarn:
  • Work 1 sc, 1 sc, then chain 5 (ch 5) stitches.
  • In the chain-5 space, work 4 single crochet (sc) stitches.
  • Then work 3 sc into the next stitches.
• Repeat this pattern evenly around the sunflower base to form petal foundations.

Petal Construction

• For each petal, work the following:
  • 3 double crochets (dc) in a row,
  • 2 double crochets (dc) in the 4th stitch (increase),
  • Chain 3 (ch 3) for a picot stitch,
  • Slip stitch into the first chain to form picot tip,
  • 2 double crochets (dc) again in the same 4th stitch,
  • Then 3 double crochets (dc) to complete the petal.

Note: This creates a textured and pointed petal with a decorative picot edge.

Finalizing Petals

• Repeat the petal pattern to make 4 petals evenly spaced around the sunflower base.
• Join the last petal to the first using a slip stitch (sl st).

Finishing

• Sew the completed sunflower flap onto the wallet flap (folded section of the body).
• Attach a button on the front of the wallet opposite the flap to enable closing.
• Weave in all yarn ends securely.
• Optional: Trim any excess or tidy edges with lighter/match carefully.
