Hello everyone!
Are you a bit stressed already about the holidays? Don’t know what to give to your loved ones?
I know, I’ve been there. I also know that gifting gift cards sometimes can seem like you didn’t put a lot of effort into the gift, right?
And the truth is, as busy moms, we don’t always have time to be shopping or to figure out something that, that person wants. But what if I tell you, that you can make the gift card a little bit more special, and it will only take you 15 minutes?
Pin now, crochet later!
Yes, these little stockings, are crochet, and they only take 15 minutes to make. You don’t need a lot of yarn, and it will make your gift card that much more special.
These little stockings not only can hold a gift card but can also be used as ornaments or decorations for your presents.
This stocking is the mini version of my regular Christmas stocking. I have them in two sizes, here is the link in case you are looking for a regular-size crochet stocking.
