Quick Holiday Gift Ideas

Christmas is approaching and if you’re like me, you decided last minute that you’d like to gift some handmade items to your close friends or family!

I rounded up some things that I think would make lovely gifts, but don’t require too much time or materials. Each item on the list is a clickable link that will take you to the pattern. I hope you find something that works for you!

I would love if you’d leave more suggestions in the comments!

Knitting Patterns

• The Sophie Scarf by Petiteknit – I have made this as a gift for my mom and plan to make one for my grandma for Christmas.
• The World’s Simplest Mittens by Tin Can Knits – just made a worsted pair and they’re amazing! Very quick to make and the pattern is free + has multiple sizes and yarn weights.

• Soap Saver by kneedles & life – pair this with a nice bar of soap for a special gift! Even better, this is a FREE pattern!
