make giving gift cards more personal by
0:02
crocheting up this granny square gift
0:04
card pouch to make your gift card pouch
0:06
you're going to need a 3 mm crochet hook
0:10
scissors darning needle little button to
0:12
close it and some yarn I'm using drops
0:16
saffron which is a four ply which is the
0:19
equivalent of a US fingering weight I'm
0:22
going to start by putting a slipnot on
0:27
hook and chaining four one
0:33
four and then we're going to join that
0:43
ring and then we'll chain three this
0:45
counts as our first double
0:47
crochet we're now going to start working
0:49
into that ring so I'm going to pop two
1:00
and two I'm going to chain two this
1:04
makes our first corner and then put
1:06
another three double crochet into that
1:08
ring and I'm going to work over that
1:10
tail as I go so that's
1:20
three chain two for the next corner and
1:23
then another three double crochet into
1:35
three chain two for the next
1:38
corner and we're going to put our final
1:40
three double crochet into the
1:49
ring and chain two for that last corner
1:53
and then we're going to join to the top
2:00
and that's our first round I'm going to
2:01
fasten off this color we are going to be
2:03
changing colors after every round so in
2:06
any Corner space pop your hook in and
2:19
3 we're going to put two more double
2:22
crochet into that same
2:28
one and and two and then we're going to
2:33
corner and put another three double
2:35
crochet into that same
2:47
2 and three and we go ahead and put a
2:50
corner into each of the corner
2:55
spaces so we just go straight into the
2:57
next corner with three double crochet
3:07
two and then another three double
3:16
crochet like so and then you're going to
3:18
repeat that in the final two
3:21
corners and then just join the top of
3:23
that chain three at the beginning and
3:28
off now this next round is the rounder
3:30
that you will keep repeating to make
3:31
your Square bigger each time so I'm just
3:34
going to start off by joining
3:43
color just I like to join just next to
3:45
the corner I'm going to chain three
3:47
which counts as our first double
3:52
crochet going to put two double crochets
4:00
I like to pick up my tail and carry it
4:01
across to the corner so I can work over
4:06
along and then I'm going to put three
4:08
double crochets into the corner
4:23
2 and three chain two and three double
4:38
so now all you're going to do is every
4:40
time you get to a space at the side
4:43
you're going to put three double crochet
4:44
so on the following round you're going
4:46
to have two of these spaces you just put
4:48
three double crochet into each space
4:50
along the side and then in each Corner
4:53
three double crochet chain two three
4:55
double crochet and we're going to finish
4:57
that round as normal by joining to the
5:01
three so we'll fasten off and change
5:04
colors again so you go ahead and keep
5:06
adding rounds to your Square until you
5:07
have a total of seven rounds now once
5:10
you get to round eight you're going to
5:11
start off the round just as you would
5:13
normally working all the way around and
5:15
then in one of the corners instead of
5:17
chaining two for the corner you're going
5:18
to chain four or five so 1 2 3
5:24
four five how many change you need will
5:27
depend on the size of your button so for
5:29
for my size of button a five chain is
5:31
good if your button a bit smaller you
5:33
might want a four or even even a three
5:35
and then you're going to finish off the
5:37
corner as normal with three double
5:46
crochet like so and there you've got
5:48
that slightly longer Loop for the corner
5:51
for your button clasp and then you just
5:54
finish off your granny square as normal
5:57
with a granny cluster that's three
5:58
double crochet in each space
6:00
across so I finished my granny square
6:02
I'm just going to take a darning needle
6:06
and some of the yarn I used for the
6:08
outside color so you want the same color
6:09
as your last round just going to thread
6:12
that on there so you want to have the
6:15
little loop at the top here of your
6:18
button and then you're going to
6:21
fold the sides in and the bottom
6:27
up now you want it to be so
6:31
that this corner from the the middle
6:34
from the bottom is going
6:37
up and it's going to meet these sides
6:40
but these sides won't meet each other
6:42
this gives your um gift card holder a
6:45
very slightly oblong shape rather than a
6:47
square shape so you're going to join in
6:49
your yarn at this corner here and then
6:52
just sew through the the back Loops
6:56
across and then back down to this side
8:00
then just take that tail in through to
8:18
end and all that's left to do is sew on
8:20
a cute button and there you have your
8:22
finished gift card holder if you are
8:24
looking for more quick and easy festive
8:25
makes then check out my Christmas
8:27
playlist right here on YouTube bye-bye
