Money gift as Christmas decoration
A lovingly wrapped banknote, and the packaging also serves as a fun decoration—that’s sure to go over well.

You can quickly and easily crochet an original package from leftover yarn.

Details & Pattern

The pattern is written without abbreviations and is well suited for beginners.

Even with Christmas gifts, the packaging should not only be decorated to suit the occasion, but also be appropriate for the age of the recipient. This pattern is ideal for small children, for example.



The gift bag is made from photo cardstock and measures approx. 19 x 18 x 10 cm. It is very easy and quick to make, even for beginners; only the bears on both sides of the bag will take you a little longer, since they are made up of several elements. Thanks to the positioning guides, though, that works without any problems too.

my Advent calendar animals are all great as gift packaging too,
many of the little ones are also available with a few extra details
to wrap a gift even more beautifully
so you don’t buy a pattern just for one use at Christmas, but get something out of it all year round
e.g.
the giraffe - as an Advent calendar animal - quick and easy to crochet

and as gift packaging, it can score points with extras

the little companions are kept simple and are already suitable for beginners

Maybe you need a little bag for wrapping small gifts?

How about these?



Knitted in a flash from leftover sock yarn, with a simple pattern, and you can have fun playing with colors.

All little girls are happy to get new outfits for their Barbies. And you can knit them quickly and easily. All you need is a little sock yarn, a size 2 or 2.5 set of double-pointed needles, and my patterns for the 7 basic models shown.

All knitting patterns are also suitable for beginner knitters who can knit with a set of double-pointed needles or want to learn how. It’s not difficult, and I describe and show everything step by step again.

I hope you have lots of fun knitting, playing, and giving these as gifts — yours, "Ina strickt"

Maybe you’d like to add a cardigan to the basic designs? No problem. All you need is 20 to 25 g of sock yarn and a few buttons. You can knit the cardigan as long as you like. Just take a look at my examples. With very little effort, you can make special gifts for your children and grandchildren.

Best regards—Ina

Oh, you can’t knit, only crochet? That’s no problem at all. You can make pretty doll clothes yourself too! Take a look here—how do you like this set, consisting of a skirt, bustier, and bolero? Well, I like it a lot; it’s my secret favorite ;-)

Best regards - Yours, Ina
