Christmas is coming, and let’s be honest, gift wrapping can feel like a glittery battlefield. So much paper, tape, and plastic, and most of it ends up in the bin. But what if your gifts looked gorgeous and eco-friendly? Spoiler alert, they can! This year we are ditching the shiny plastic bows and going for something chic, sustainable, and totally Instagram-worthy. Ready? Grab your Hoooked yarns and let’s make magic happen.
Wrap with Jute Tossa


Think rustic charm meets minimalist elegance. Jute Tossa is strong, natural, and gives your gifts that cosy handmade vibe. Pair it with simple kraft paper and you have a look that says, “I care about the planet, and I have great taste.
Why we love it:
- 100% natural fiber

- Perfect for tying up gifts or adding a decorative bow
Pro tip: Add a sprig of pine or a cinnamon stick under the knot for that extra Christmas feel. Your gifts will smell amazing!

Start:
Start using main color. Make a slip knot and ch 8. Join with a sl st to the first chain to form a ring.

Work 16 htr into the ring.
Join with a sl st to the first htr to close the round.
Round 2 (R2):
Ch 3, 1 db in the next st.
[Ch 2, 1 db in the next st], repeat the sequence inside the brackets all the way around. Join with a sl st to finish the round.
