The Striped Mitten Gift Card Holder.

The Striped Mitten Gift Card Holder is a great way to package your surprise gift cards at Christmas. You can use them to decorate your gift wrapping instead of a bow. Also you can hang them on the tree as a surprise for folks to find. 

The card holder mitten can also be used as a tree ornament year after year or you  make several and make yourself a mitten garland.

Description of my Striped Mitten Gift Card Holder:

This Striped  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.

Special Stitches used in the Striped Mitten Gift Card Holder.

For the ribbed cuff you will alternate between the Front Post Half Double Crochet (FPHDC) and Back Post Half Double Crochet (BPHDC).

FPHDC or front post half double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the front side of the work to back and then to front again, around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Now yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.

 

BPHDC or back post half double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the back side of the work to front and then to back again around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), Now yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.

 

A tip to remember when working this ribbed brim.

When you work 1 front post half double crochet (FPHDC) around the post of the half double crochet in the row below, this stitch is raised on the surface of the fabric facing you. Always make sure that the post stitches are raised to the same side in each successive row or round. Keep an eye on the ribs and remember: If the stitch you’re working is raised to the front, work a front post stitch; if the stitch is raised to the back, work a back post stitch.

 

This pattern uses US terminology. The US and UK crochet terms are different, but they use the same terms to describe different stitches. Here is a simple conversion chart for anyone in the UK.
