Make your Christmas tree look extra-charming with this crochet mitten ornament pattern by Erica Fedor! What’s more, this charming navy blue mitten can serve not only as decoration – it can hold a gift card too! Why settle for a plain gift card when you can present it in a keepsake mitten, adding a personal touch to your holiday gifting?
Is This Gift Card Holder Pattern Beginner-Friendly?
The pattern is suitable for crafters familiar with crochet stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and front post double crochet. Erica Fedor also provides clear written instructions to ensure you create a beautiful mitten ornament. If you need additional guidance on the front post stitches, you can watch Crochetedia’s easy video tutorial for beginners.
Which Yarn Works Best For This Project?
For this crochet Christmas ornament pattern, use cotton thread like Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Crochet Thread. It’s a fantastic stash-busting project as you’ll need very little yarn to create one piece. You should also prepare a 2.25 mm crochet hook.
What Size Is The Finished Ornament?
Measuring 3” x 4.25”, these crochet mittens are the ideal size to adorn your tree or decorate your home. If you’re looking for a quick and small holiday project, this ornament is definitely the one. By using thicker yarn and a larger hook, you can easily create a bulkier version that you can use to store small Christmas gifts.
How Do I Add A Hanging Loop?
The designer used a pre-bought wire hanger. You should be able to find a similar one at your local craft store or order it online. Another simple way to turn this mitten into a hanging ornament is to crochet a small loop at the top corner. To do this, pull the thread through one of the stitches and make a simple chain or simply tie a knot.
