Free Tiny Gift Box Crochet Pattern

This little gift box crochet pattern is a quick and easy project for the holidays. It is about the size of a ring box. I made the gift box as part of my Christmas dollhouse collection.

By adding a little toy stuffing and sewing on the lid it could be used for decorating Christmas crafts such as wreaths too. Another use could be a Christmas accessory for Amigurumi toy.

Gift box description

The little gift box measures just 4cm x 4cm square. The height is 3cm. As shown in the photo it will easily fit in your hand.

You can add toy stuffing and sew the lid on if you’re using it as a decoration. In this case I didn’t sew my lid on as my children wanted used the gift box as a Christmas play set for their fashion dolls.

How to crochet a small gift box

To complete the little gift box crochet pattern I used DK (weight 3) yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. I chose to use red and silver but you can of course use any colors you like.

There’s minimum sewing involved. To be specific you’ll simply need to sew the ribbon to the lid. The gift box crochet pattern is beginner friendly. You’ll need to know your basic crochet stitches along with being able to work into the back loop and simple increases.
