Crochet Money/Gift Card Cozy

11/10/2013

If you read my About Me, than you already know that I'm the antithesis of a procrastinator (and if you haven't read it yet, read it here!).  Therefore, I start thinking about Christmas Lists sometime in September (yep, it's true!).  Last year, I had all my gifts purchased and WRAPPED before Halloween!

This year with my daughter being so active, it hasn't been quite as easy to get everything done in a "timely" manner -- especially because my goal this Christmas is to try and make 75% of the gifts. 

Now, although I REALLY don't like giving gift cards or money for Christmas (I think it's a cop out), when it comes to my husband's two secretaries (who are awesome, by the way!), they will receive a Christmas bonus (some nice moola).  What better way to receive a bonus than in a cute crocheted micro-purse?!

Tampa Bay Crochet's free "Credit Card Cozy" pattern (found on The Crocheting Itch -- Free Crochet Patterns here) is what inspired me to make the micro-purses.  Her pattern follows the KISS principle (keep it seriously simple) -- it was clear, easy to follow, and quick!  I finished both of my micro-purses in about a half hour.  Then I glued on a flower button with a green gemstone to add some sparkle.  If you would like to make one, here's what you'll need:
