These quick, cheerful gift card holders are an easy project that are a great stashbuster. Worked in the round using stranded knitting, they can be completed within a few hours and give a special touch when presenting gift cards. The holder is closed with a small button, sewn to the inside and held in place by the I-cord edging along the top edge.
