The crochet red truck ornament pattern is free to view right here on my blog! Scroll down below to follow the pattern.
Day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas Crochet Ornaments is this iconic red truck!
Okay, so technically I already released this pattern as a gift card holder, but it doubles as a cute little ornament too!
I really love this little truck and since you can keep the bed of the truck open, you can make one for each member of your family and put a little something extra in it for Christmas morning!
