Description:

I hope you will enjoy the first, of hopefully many crochet swaps.

You will have one partner to send to, and this will be open to all group members, who like to crochet.

With the holidays fast approaching, I thought it would be nice to send your partner a small gift, the catch is you will crochet the box the gift will go in.

So for the swap you will crochet a small gift/trinket box and include a small gift inside.

Requirements for the box

*Must measure at least 3 inches.

*Must be made in “holiday colors” - think red, green, gold, silver, blue, white

*Must have a lid or top of some type

*Can be any shape- round, square, oval rectangle, etc.

*Decorate the box, add a pretty little crocheted decoration, maybe some lace, or a pretty little bow, or pretty button or fancy bead, maybe some little artificial holiday flowers, please don’t send just a plain box!

You can use any of the patterns listed below or use your own as long as they meet the above requirements.

tiny box

crochet box

floral box

plain box

jewelry box

For the gift, ideas could be - fancy soap, cute little candle, jewelry, small craft supplies, anything small that will fit in the box, that you think your partner would like.

Although this is not profile specific, it is always nice to look at your partners profile for likes and dislikes, as well as allergies.

Please include a little note, OR swap card, so we know who our gift came from, so that we can thank and rate them.

The picture above is of a set of gift boxes, that I thought were cute, and the pattern for them can be purchased at this web site -

Note: once you receive your crocheted box......take the goodies out and use it to decorate for Christmas! You could re-gift it to someone else but I'm thinking maybe it will be too pretty to part with!

This does sound like a great swap, the crocheted box sounds lovely but unfortunately I am not a crocheting pea

sadly I have no talents there either....but I see I was right, we do have some peas in the POD with crocheting capabilities! Yeah, I know they will be happy with this swap.

Thank you to our hostess and to everyone that signed up!

Enjoy!
