Crochet Gift Card Envelope - Free Pattern

Crochet Gift Card Envelope - Free Pattern

Sometimes finding the right gift for those you love can be challenging and a gift card is the best option. Personalise your gift card with a hand made envelope.


Crochet Gift Card Envelope - Red and black envelope 

Yarn: 4 ply Fingering yarn.
Hook: 2.35mm

Row 1

Using colour create a double foundation chain of 25 stitches, turn work.


Row 2-20

*SC into first stitch, CH1 (takes place of first HDC), HDC  to end (24 stitches, take extra care not to miss the last stitch), turn work.

Row 21-24

Switch to colour B. Repeat from *for 3 rows.

Row 25-27

SC, CH 2 (takes place of first double crochet), v stitch to end of row (V stitch: skip one stitch on previous row DC in next, CH1, DC in same stitch of previous row; first V complete), DC in last stitch of previous row, turn work.

Row 28 

SC for 25 stitches, snip thread and pull through last stitch to finish.


Attach buttons, stitch up sides and weave in ends.

Design B - Silver heart envelope in black and fuchsia

If you find you have accidentally dropped a stitch or have only crocheted 24 rows (or any even number of rows) the V stitch pattern for rows 25-27 will not work for you and you can use this alternate finish instead.

Alternate design for Rows 25-27

*DC into first stitch of row, **CH 1, DC 2, repeat from ** to stitch 22, CH 1, DC, turn work.

Repeat from * for next 2 rows.

      I was only going to do one colour but my ball came to an end I decided in the moment to add a second. I'm so glad I did now ;o)

    I love quick little gift ideas like these! So easy to customize, too.
    I've had some gift cards get damaged after being shoved in my wallet, leaving them useless. This isn't just a cute idea - It's a great way to keep them protected, too!

      I'm always giving my nieces gift cards so they can get whatever they want, but I really wanted to make them that bit more special. I didn't realise gift cards could get damaged so easily. Thanks.
