The Ultimate Guide to Christmas Presents for Your Knitting or Crochet Partner
Hello there! Before Carol started her knitting shop, I was a knitter adjacent, i.e., I was stuck outside knitting shops waiting for Carol to finish looking. Every Christmas or birthday, I would try to use my limited knowledge to find gifts for knitting and crocheting.
Now that Carol has opened her shop, I have an extra job in a yarn shop that I can never give up. I learned a lot during these extra working days by talking to knitters and crocheters. So, if you are Google-ing “gifts for knitters” or “crochet presents”, I am here to help.
Being in the yarn shop, I’ve learned a thing or two about finding the perfect gift for someone whose world revolves around knitting and crochet. Christmas is the ideal time to show appreciation for all those hours crafting beautiful creations. But let’s face it—choosing the right present can be daunting, especially if you’re unsure what they need.
Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly stocking fillers or a show-stopping gift, this guide to make your Christmas shopping a breeze. And the best part? You’ll find everything mentioned here on our website, knitwithme.co.uk!
Stocking Fillers
Sometimes, it's the small, thoughtful gifts that bring the most joy.
Knitting Stitch Markers: Knitters always use these; they mark a place in the knitting to
remember, so you can never go wrong as a present; we have luxury hand-embodied onesthat make them special
Row Counters: If you ever hear “I’m counting”, to any question you ask. Then, a row counter is a great knitting gift. It stops the “I have lost count now!”
Tools: You can never go wrong with items as you never have enough:
Tape Measures: I am constantly asked to find a tape measure in our house, so you
can never have enough! It measures how much your crafting partner has completed,
e.g., there is no point in having one sleeve longer than another.
Mini Scales: This is an excellent gift for any knitter or crocheter. They love when they
have, knowing how much yarn they have left is done by weight.
Knitting Cord: I always hear, “You knock my stitches off the needles” when I am tidying for dinner; these cords mean they can pause knitting and take the item off the needles. Knitters love them to use, so they can try on a knitted jumper while knitting it.
Wool Wash: Once they have made something, it does not go in the washing machine (I found out the hard way and had to give Carol one of her jumpers back that was half its original size!) They put a drop of this wash in a tub, let it soak for a bit, then wring out the water and dry it flat. You do this once complete to “block” an item; it gives it a shape you like. Our house has a big container of this, but you can start with a small bottle.
