Alternating Crochet Credit Card Holder – Free Pattern

September 13, 2015 · Rhelena · 2 Comments

This crochet credit card holder not only features a nice texture, but also a nice color design. It is perfect for your credit cards or for giving gift cards to loved ones.

Use up your leftover cotton yarns from your stash to make this crochet gift card holder pattern in all sorts of color combinations.

Not sure if the stitch pattern has a name, but I’m calling it the “Alternating” stitch because you alternate between the front and back loops of the stitches. Also, I’m alternating between the front and back loops. Other patterns in my “Alternating” series include a hat, bag, clutch, and phone pouch.

The finished size is just the right size to fit nicely over a single card, but will also stretch to hold a number of cards.

I used Bernat Handicrafter cotton, which is a medium worsted weight yarn. I like to use cotton for card holders because the cotton doesn’t stretch as much, making it more durable.

    I LOVE how that looks! It’s actually the best looking “houndstooth” that I’ve seen, and I’ve been searching for houndstooth! I had started a blanket in one houndstooth pattern, but I see it getting frogged and doing this instead, starting back over instead of turning each row. It’s PERFECT!
