Mitten Gift Card Holder

"I love giving gift cards because you know that the recipient will be able to pick out something that is just what they like. Everyone appreciates a gift card, but I also really enjoy giving handmade gifts, too! This pattern uses leftover worsted weight yarn to whip up a quick gift. It also serves to familiarize you with mitten construction, if you’ve never made any before. I just took my Basic Mittens pattern and adjusted it for this pattern. If you can make this little guy, you can make mittens!
