Christmas Gift Ideas

I know I preach this all the time, but I can’t say it enough.

YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE WORKING ON YOUR KNITTED CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Just think of the great feeling you’ll have when December rolls around, and you have all of your gifts ready. Ahhh. So nice. You can relax and enjoy the holiday instead of getting caught in the mad scramble.

The ideas below are tried and true. I’ve knit and given all of these items as gifts, and they were very well received. They are also pretty quick to knit.

First up – gift ideas from my own pattern library.

Amirah Fingerless Gloves

Mad Men Mittens

Yoga/Pedicure Socks

Christmas Stockings

Earflap Caps

Ida Neck Wrap

And some of my favorite quick-knits from other designers –

  1. To heck with gifts…I’m making those cute French Press Slippers for myself! 😉 They’re adorable!

  2. What yarn did you use for the white trim on the Fetching Mitts? It is so much cuter than using the same yarn as shown in the original pattern. Love your ideas.

  3. Great quick knit picks. Can you tell me what you used for the brim on the capitans hat. Mine did not turn out nearly that good. I was too stiff and had no curve to it. I used on of those cheap flexable cutting boards.

  4. Sandi – there is nothing in the brim of the Capitan cap. Just knitting! The fabric is stiff enough to keep the shape of the brim.
