Petit Pochette (Little Wallet)

Discover our free English and French .PDF knitting pattern translations! Yay! Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern is perfect for you.

This unique pattern features a combination of short rows and a provisional cast-on technique, which creates a charmingly rolled look at the bottom section. Once you’ve mastered this initial phase, you will knit in the round until you reach your desired height. Following that, we’ll guide you through working the button flap. Because the pattern is easy to follow and works up quickly, you’ll get to enjoy your finished project in no time! Plus, it doesn’t require much yarn, and you can opt for a worsted weight. While Lion Brand refers to Comfy Cotton Blend as a DK weight yarn, its gauge aligns more closely with worsted weight according to Ravelry.

Before you begin, you should be familiar with:

• Any provisional cast-on method
• How to work short rows (we also suggest a preferred method)
• Knit and purl in the round
• Knit two together (k2tog) or slip slip knit (ssk), as well as purl two together (p2tog)
• Yarn over technique (yarning over twice)

While these techniques may look challenging, don't worry! YouTube is an excellent resource that can guide you through them step by step.

You will need the following supplies:

• 4.5mm (US 7) circular knitting needles for working in the round on a small circumference
• 4.5mm (US 7) straight knitting needles for working flat
• A button with a diameter of either 1/2” or 3/4” to complete your project
• A yarn needle and scissors for finishing touches
