Hi friends,

Want to make your Christmas gift giving (or anytime gift giving) a little more special? Crocheting your own gift bags will do just that! 🎁😊

They measure about 6.5 by 6.5 inches plus the handle. There’s plenty of room for a small gift along with some yummy Christmas chocolates or treats.

My Small Crochet Ridged Gift Bag works up quickly holding 2 stands of yarn together and an M/N 9mm crochet hook. I used Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek yarn to stitch up my bags, but any worsted weight yarn can be used.

You can find the pattern below along with links to free PDFs – one with the photos and one without.

Stitch up a few of these Small Crochet Ridged Gift Bags now and you’ll be ready when the busy holiday season hits. 🎄🎁 A fun gift for friends or neighbors would be to add a couple of cute notepads and a pretty pen. Crochet a Santa cup cozy and add a gift card to their favorite coffee shop. The bag would also make a sweet purse for a toddler.

I also made these Crochet Mini Gift Bags with this same pattern using just one strand of yarn. You can find all the details in this post. They are a great size for gift cards or cash. 😊
