Eyelet Stitch Card Holder
MATERIALS
Approx 20 gr, Trendsetter Nuance (100% organic cotton), or equivalent sport-weight yarn
Size US 6/4 mm needles
Felt lining piece measuring 4″ x 9″
Embroidery floss and needle
Iron
Optional: sew-in snap, tassel maker for tassel

DIRECTIONS
CO 17 sts.
Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: Purl.

Row 4: Purl.
Repeat rows 1-4 until the piece measures approx 9″ in length, ending on Row 2.

FINISHING
Block piece.
Lining:
- Iron felt lining piece first in half, then bring both short edges inward to fold, leaving appx 1/2″ gap (for cards) and iron.
- Attach yarn piece to felt by hand-stitching around. Start by pinning the corners of each side and then the centers along each edge. The knitted piece will stretch, so be sure to keep things neat by pinning.
- Hand stitch (blanket stitch or whip stitch would both work.)
Assembly:
- Fold short edges inward, using the iron crease on the felt lining, and stitch the sides of each card slot.
Optional:
- Add sew-in snap if desired, and adorn with a sassy tassel.
