Chain Foundation:

• Create a chain of 20 stitches. This will be the width of your card holder.

Row 1 (Front Side):

• Unravel the chain slightly to find the first stitch and insert the hook into the link.
• Start with the herringbone or parquet pattern:
• Pull up a loop through the first chain, two loops on hook, knit together.
• Insert the hook into the first stitch made, pick up the working thread in the next chain stitch, pull up a loop.
• Continue the herringbone pattern until the end of the row.

Count the Diagonals:

• Count the diagonals of the "Christmas trees" to ensure you have 20 diagonals, corresponding to the 20 chains you started with.

Row 2 (Purl Side):

• Insert the hook from the inside out on the face under both arms of the first loop, pick up the working thread.
• Pull through three loops on the hook, knit together.
• Continue with purl "Christmas trees" to the end of the row.

Row 3 (Front Side):

• Alternate the row with front "Christmas trees" as in Row 1.

Repeat:

• Continue alternating the pattern until you have reached 12 rows in height.

Perimeter Edging:

• Start the edging by inserting the hook into the pigtail in the hem and catch the jumper, picking up the working thread.
• Crochet one single crochet into each stitch to the corner.
• For corners, create two single crochets in the same stitch to maintain the shape.
• Continue edging around the perimeter, ensuring even stitch counts on corresponding sides.
• Cut the thread, weave in the ends, and join the edged braid seamlessly.

Save

Assembly:

• For the complete card holder, you will need to crochet two identical pieces and a third piece with 30 rows of "Christmas trees" instead of 12.
• Fold the pieces with the right sides facing outward and start sewing them together along the marked loops with slip stitches.
• Sew two parts together along the long side and one short side.
• Attach a button or magnetic clasp for closure.
• Weave in all remaining tails and trim any excess yarn.
