Coin Caddy Christmas Ornament pattern

Display your special Christmas memories with the Coin Caddy Christmas ornament.

With memories of Christmas dancing in his head, my husband recalled a time when his uncle presented him with the holiday dollar! Yes, that wonderfully magical silver dollar! Shiny and bigger than a child’s hand. And much heavier than one could ever imagine.  Eyes widened with anticipation as the holiday party grew near!

Found deep in the depths of this little boy’s treasure box, the silver dollar finally surfaced for the first time in 60 years! Deserving its rightful place in the holiday tradition, the Coin Caddy Christmas ornament elevated it to the Christmas tree!

Crocheted in just minutes, the caddy surrounds the outer edge of the coin so that both the front and back will reflect the holiday lights of the tree while the dangling tassel teases the cat. The bow cinches the coin in place so no harm befalls your treasure.

Choose glistening nylon or colorful cotton thread to suit your fancy. I personally use Hilo Omega nylon #2 thread for my ornaments because of the vibrant color selection available and its durability. From year to year, ornaments made from nylon are as fresh looking as the year you made them. Plus they are unbreakable, a real plus for households with kids and pets!

One spool of nylon goes a very long way. It can be used for lots of other projects. The cluster stitch change purse or the wreath picture frame ornament are perfect examples. Plus, it’s inexpensive.

Instead of stashing your silver coins away, revive this holiday tradition. Present the children in your family including nieces and nephews with coins captured in the Coin Caddy Christmas ornament. To make the ornament year specific, change the color of the yarn each year!

Display your silver dollar treasures with pride and let this touching tradition live on each year as you share the memories when the Christmas ornaments decorate the tree!
