Description of my Mitten Gift Card Holder:

This Mitten Gift Card Holder is made with the half double crochet  stitch and the single crochet stitch for the thumb. It is made in the round in two pieces, the mitten body and the thumb. You need to attach the thumb with a few stitches.

There are so many colour combinations you can use that will give it a different feel and vibe.  To keep with the Christmas Festive feel I used red and white, but green and white or any colour you associate with the holiday season would work perfectly. Gift Card Holders make a great gift and they are so quick and easy to whip up.
