Crochet Gift Card Holder Ornament Free Pattern

This little crochet hat acts as both a gift card holder AND an ornament. This makes it the perfect quick handmade gift. I love gifting things that someone will actually want and use. A gift card ensures your loved one will be able to buy something they enjoy and the ornament can be hung each year!

For the colors, I did red and white to make it look like a Santa Claus hat and for the other I did a pretty light blue and added an initial on it to personalize it!

You can also personalize it by using the recipient’s favorite colors, sports team colors, etc. This is very customizable and you can really make it your own to make it special!

Pom Pom 

Using white yarn, wrap your yarn around 3 fingers 40-50x. Lay it down carefully and take a 12” piece of white yarn and tie the middle so there are loops on the top and bottom of the knot. Once secured tightly, cut the loops. Trim the pom pom as needed but keep the long piece of yarn to attach to the top of the hat.

Tie the pom pom to the tip of the hat then tie the remaining yarn to make a loop for hanging.

*You can also use a pom pom maker if you have one.
