How to Crochet a Gift Card Holder

Looking for a unique and thoughtful way to present your gift cards? Look no further than the crochet gift card holder! This charming accessory not only adds a touch of handmade beauty to your gift, but it also serves as a practical and reusable item that your recipient will adore. Crafted with love and attention to detail, the crochet gift card holder is a versatile accessory that can be customized to suit any occasion or personal style.

Here Is What You Need:

• worsted weight yarn
• H hook
• tapestry needle, scissors

Finished holder is approx 3 ½ in. high by 2 in. wide and should fit standard sized gift cards.

Card Holder Body

Ch 16, Sl st in furthest ch from hook to form a ring, do not turn.

Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st here and throughout), work 1 sc in same ch as join and each ch around, join — 16 sts.

Rounds 2 through 13: Ch 1, work 1 sc in same st as join and each st around, join — 16 sts.

Fasten off.

Crochet Edging

With a coordinating color yarn, edge the holder as desired. Here are the two edging options I used.

Scalloped Border: Ch 1, beginning in same st as join, *work 1 sc, ch 3, skip next st, rep from * around ending with a slip st in first sc of round.

Single Crochet Border: Ch 1, work 1 sc in same st as join and each st around, join.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Finishing

To close bottom of holder, turn piece around so that Row 1 is now on top, flatten cylinder; working through the unused loops of the beginning chain, pull up yarn in first loops, ch 1, work 1 sc in same loops and each pair of loops across. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Now all that is left is to add a little embellishing if desired. Add a pretty bow or ribbon, attach a piece of candy, or any way you wish to personalize your gift card holder. I found these cute little baby decorations on clearance at the craft store.
