Fuzzy Holiday Gift Guide 2022

Be sure and check out our shopable Holiday Gift Collections!

We promise it truly isn't too early to start mulling over your holiday shopping especially if, like us, you plan to give handmade this year! Shop & make in November = time for an easy and festive December (sounds pretty nice to us!).

Here's our inspiration for great gift projects, gifts we think your fellow knitter friends would enjoy (or that you as a knitter can ask for for yourself), as well as some ready-to-go gifts for the people you want to buy for, but might not have time to knit for during this busy season. 

 

For the Knit-Worthy

Manageable projects we recommend knitting for the special knit-worthy people in your life.

Bulky hats - perfect for cool weather and it's quick!!

 

• Pixie Hat Kit 
• Includes the pattern + a skein of Daisy Chain
• Can be done in an afternoon!

 

• Pair one of these Faux Fur Pom Poms + one skein of bulky Franca or Koozoo yarn
• Pattern we love for bulky hats: Favorite Ribbed Cap by Laurie Kimmelstiel - Melissa made one of these a couple Christmases ago and had enough to make a pom pom too!

• This Aspen Slouch Kit is actually made with Blue Sky Fibers Worsted Tweed but has enough yardage to get two hats out of in opposing color combos - keep one for yourself or knock out two gifts in one go!

For Little Ones

• Appalachian Cotton Baby Bear Cardigan or Blanket Kits
• Baby Gradient Blanket Kits - these are bamboo and cotton and so soft for a baby!

Socks

• Socks are a classic handmade gift!
• Patterns we like: 
• Rose City Rollers by Mary Catherine Bryner (fingering)
• Chuchmouse Classics Basic Sock by Churchmouse Yarns (fingering or a DK)
• Yarns we love for socks: Opal Yarn, Copper Corgi Savannah Sock has the loveliest twist, or snag an Urth Uneek Sock Kit (they even have a red and green holiday colorway!)
• Plus we have some of our local dyer KnitWise Fibers's green & red holiday colorway back in stock in her Floofy DK base - perfect for quick festive DK socks!

 

Knit a Gnome!

• Gnome Bundles made up of three Emma's mini skeins have returned to the shop in both holiday themed colorways and more classic gnome-y color combos
• Copy Cadence and make the pattern All Work, Gnome Play or peruse Sara Schira's other gnome patterns (there's lots to choose from!)

One Skein Wonder Shawls

• Melissa recently made used Pashmina a sport cashmere/silk blend in a gorgeous red color ("Tart") to make this Sunburnt Shawl that would be festive for this time of year!
• Reyna by Noora Backlund (using fingering weight)
• Sonoya by Tamy Gore (fingering)
• Storm Shawl by Joji Locatelli (fingering)
• Gossamer by Janina Kallio (fingering)
• Cadence's own Crescent City Shawl uses one Feederbrook Entropy (or any DK you like)

A Sweater, if you must! 

• Ranunculus by Midori Hirose is a quick moving sweater using 2-3 skeins of virtually whatever yarn you like, so if you're set on a sweater even late in the game, this may be the one!

 

Dishcloths

• These Dishcloth Kits pair our Knit or Crochet Dishcloths Book with three balls of Wool and the Gang Shiny Happy Cotton (we have two different yarn color options too)
• Melissa made a bunch of these as small handmade presents last year! Quick and mindless knitting!
