Notes:

• This pattern is written in US terms.
• Sizing will vary depending on how tightly or loosely you crochet. Gauge is not necessary for this pattern but if you would like to keep the sizing the same, please check your gauge before starting this project.
• This pattern calls for several color changes in each row. To minimize end weaving, I use the carry along method to change colors.

• Join Color C to one side of the flap closure. Sc evenly around the flap to the other side. Fasten off.
• Align button with the button hole created in Row 14 of the flap instructions. Sew button onto the pouch using yarn and yarn needle or needle and thread.
• Weave all ends.
• Clip wristlet strap to the metal ring for a finished look.
