Gift
A wrapped present with a bow on top and a ribbon down the front, a festive icon for the holidays and birthdays alike. The crossed ribbon keeps it clearly a gift on the grid. Open it in the editor to widen the box, change the bow, or line up a row of presents, then export to PDF or print a clean chart.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Work the gift in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a festive table runner or a stocking, the gift drops in cleanly, ideal for a festive accent. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.
Who it's for
A gift panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a grandchild, and it fits naturally with Easter. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 6.5 by 6.5 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
