Gift cards are great gifts, but something seems lacking when you give them in regular envelopes or ordinary paper cards. For an extra special touch, crochet one of these cute animals to hold your gift card. Each animal is crocheted seamlessly in the round from the top down, amigurumi style. The small parts are sewn on in addition to the pocket on the back of the animal that holds the gift card. The pocket can also hold small presents, such as candy, or jewelry. The pattern contains 6 popular animals for you to crochet: bear, bunny rabbit, cat, dog, elephant, and lion.

This poncho has a classic look that will look great on all different body shapes and sizes this winter! The poncho is crocheted from the top down, seamlessly in the round, in one piece, creating rows of eyelets as you go. The eyelets not only create a simple and beautiful pattern, but helps the crocheter easily keep track of where increases are made. The ribbing texture along the cowl neck collar and the bottom edge of the poncho create a contrast to the lighter feel of the poncho’s body. The light (sport) weight yarn used in this pattern creates a nice, easy drape in the poncho’s body. The pattern includes 9 sizes, ranging from women’s X-Small to 5X, and also includes instructions for adjusting the size if you are in between sizes or simply want a custom fitted poncho.

Requested by a Crochet Spot reader, this patterns uses my classic hooded scarf crochet pattern, with the addition of fox ears. This cute scarf can be crocheted in 3 different sizes: toddler, child, and adult. You can also customize the length and width of the scarf as you desire by following the instructions within the pattern. The front of the scarf is edged with a ribbing pattern to give the scarf texture. The deep pockets are placed on both sides of the scarf to help keep your hands toasty warm.

These fingerless gloves have a cable look, without having to crochet a cable. The braid down the center of the glove is the focal point and creates interesting texture. Feel free to make the braid in multiple colors or in a solid color as shown in the sample photo. Fingerless gloves are great for keeping your hands and wrists warm, while still giving your the dexterity you need from your fingers. These wrist warmers are designed to fit most women, but if a wider or narrower circumference is needed, simply crochet more or less rows on the sides.

This table runner uses one of my favorite stitch patterns. It’s made with a chevron stitch that you can work all in one color, or in multiple colors if you desire. The rows alternate between solid and lace to give you a modern yet still lacy look. The pattern includes instructions for adjusting the size as you see fit. Make it as wide and as long as you like in order to fit your table. The table runner in the sample photo uses an ordinary medium/worsted weight yarn, but it would also look great using thinner yarns to give it a more delicate feel.
