Pretty, Pretty Presents: How To Wrap a Gift With Yarn

November 20, 2013 by AllFreeCrochet

presents-blog-post-2The perfect gift deserves only the best gift wrapping, right? Whether you’re giving store-bought or homemade gifts this year, think outside the box when it comes to wrapping your presents. Proper gift wrapping adds the perfect finishing touch to any holiday gift.

A nice wrapping job often requires a little bit more than your standard holiday gift wrap and store-bought bows. If you don’t have time to make your own gifts this year, you can at least add a quick homemade touch to your wrapping. All it takes is a few minutes and a little bit of yarn to create beautiful crochet or knit gift toppers and bows.

Find our favorite crochet patterns and free knit patterns for bows, gift boxes, gift toppers, and more below. You’ll discover the best free patterns ever for making your wrapping just as special as the gift itself.

Bows don’t have to be made out of ribbon! Use your leftover yarn scraps to quickly create an adorable knit or crochet bow for your holiday presents this year.
