The stitch pattern for this project is very easy. Don’t be fooled by the texture – you don’t need to know more than the basic knit and purl stitches. The texture is provided by working one row of knit stitches for the right side of the project, and then alternating knit and purl stitches for the next row.

This easy project is knit in one piece and folded in half.

I designed this gift card holder using bulky weight yarn (category #5). It turned out nice and squishy and fit my gift card perfectly!

You can substitute any bulky weight yarn that gets gauge. The fiber content doesn’t really matter as it will not be worn.
