Brown Paper Packages - Part 2

Wrapping with yarn is great because it builds

anticipation for the crocheted goody that is inside.

Here is another step by step pattern to make this super cute wrapping. You can find some other tutorials for wrapping your gifts here.

Brown Paper Packages (Part 1)

Baby bootie shoe boxes

For this little project you need:

A wrapped present.

Card (Here is a link to a tutorial to make the card in the pictures.)

Yarn - I used worsted weight for the yarn in the picture.

Each row should have 10 stitches when finished.

Starting with a long tail - Ch 12. We want the tail to be long because later on we will use this tail to tie the piece around the box.

Row 1: 1 dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 1, sk 1, 7 dc.
