How to crochet the Delilah Gift Card Holder, which is a quick and easy floral gift pocket that works great for a gift card holder or small gifts and treats. At only 12 yards of yarn per flower, this is a great project for scraps of yarn!
This floral motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used to create so many fun free crochet patterns (video tutorials in the works for them). You can see some of these projects in the Intro of the video:
- Coasters: youtu.be/UwNqpgfYdh4
- Triangle Shawl: tinyurl.com/vt5a3km7
- Hoop Earrings: tinyurl.com/4uf2d6t8
- Table Runner (Video Tutorial): youtu.be/5Ux4X0iACXs
- Wall Hanging: tinyurl.com/3wsz5z4t
- Mug Rug (Video Tutorial): youtu.be/PYrDwZPxbHw
You'll need 30 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn per Flower. In the video, I'm using WeCrochet Dishie. You'll also need a H8/5mm Crochet Hook, and a Tapestry Needle to weave in ends.
Material Notes:
The original pink and yellow flowers are the Bumblebee and Begonia colorways. The white petaled flower uses the Bumblebee and White colorways. The blue and yellow flowers are the Bumblebee and Azure colorways.
I prefer cotton yarns for this project to add durability, and I like to use yarns that are colorfast, which means the colors are set. A similar yarn to WeCrochet Dishie is Queensland Coastal Cotton.
Gauge is not essential for this project so any worsted weight yarn from your stash will work. Cotton yarn will be more relaxed than acrylic so you may want to go up a hook size if using a worsted weight acrylic (or wool) yarn to achieve similar size.

If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video (affiliate link): tidd.ly/3AKVOMr
Time Spent:
Just over 15 minutes per flower. Just over 45 minutes for the entire gift pocket.
Measurements:
Taken from the position of one petal at the top center and measured from tip of top petal to tip of bottom petal.
- With WeCrochet Dishie: 3 5/8″ wide by 4 1/8″
Gauge (Not Essential):
Diameter taken after Round 2.
- With WeCrochet Dishie: 2 1/2″
