This crochet gift card holder is quick and cute. The easy to crochet heart shape creates a sweet place to hold that gift card. Secure it with a button and it’s ready.
If you’re in need of a last minute teacher gift, or a Valentine’s Day gift, then this crochet heart gift card holder is just for you! It’s the perfect way to personalize “just a gift card” gifts!
It’s quick to work up, so create a few for Valentine’s day, birthday gifts, mother’s day, graduation, father’s day… any time is a great time to give a little handmade heart!
I love the combination of classic pink and the little teal button. So Sweet.
And of course, your crochet heart would not be complete without a gift card from your teacher’s favorite restaurant.
Or maybe she needs a gift card for her favorite place to shop for school supplies… or just for herself.
This crochet heart got outlined in a contrasting lighter pink. It really sets off the shape.

Stitches used:
ch-chain
sc2tog-single crochet two together (decrease)

Turn:
Flip the heart over and join yarn at opposite end to form the second hump of the heart. Repeat rows 12-18, leaving the center stitch unworked.
If using contrasting color, change now. Sc around your heart, be sure to crochet over your tails,
work two stitches into the point of the heart, chain 4 (or more if using a large button), sc a 3rd time into the point of the heart, securing the chain button loop,
and continue sc around the heart, slip stitch and fasten off.
Finishing:
Sew button into the dip at top of heart.
Add a gift card for your loved one and button in place!
