This stitch creates a beautiful, textured look that&#8217;s perfect for a wallet.

For a medium-sized wallet, your squares should measure about <strong>4-5 inches (10-12 cm)<\/strong> per side. The finished wallet will be about <strong>5 inches (12.5 cm)<\/strong> wide and <strong>4 inches (10 cm)<\/strong> tall when folded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials You&#8217;ll Need:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yarn<\/strong>: Approximately <strong>50-75 yards (45-68 meters)<\/strong> of <strong>Worsted Weight (Medium #4) Cotton or Cotton Blend Yarn<\/strong>. A solid yellow color is perfect for showcasing the wheatear stitch. Cotton yarn is a great choice as it&#8217;s durable and holds its shape well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crochet Hook<\/strong>: <strong>Size H\/5.0mm<\/strong>.
