- A gift card for their favourite online or local knitting store will help them build up their (essential!) knitting stash
Gifts for the Experienced Knitter
- Books:
- This Japanese Stitch Bible could inspire their next project
- Or a colourwork motif reference guide if they are more into bright patterns
- Magazine Subscription:
- Pom pom magazine curates a great selection of contemporary patterns
- The Knitter is a classic choice for a magazine subscription with more advanced patterns included
- Yarn Bowl: A unique yarn bowl will keep their wool safe and sound during their project
Gifts for any Knitter
- Project bags can never go amiss, so a cute tote bag with a knitting-related slogan provides a perfect gift
- Some fancy stitch markers will jazz up any project for them: pretty and practical
- An amusing mug for their favourite brew to sip whilst knitting
And if in doubt…
…get them some yarn! No knitter can ever have enough yarn.
Make sure to notice what they prefer to knit with. Do they enjoy making socks with hand-dyed skeins, bright scarfs or neutral jumpers?
Mini-skein sets are always a good choice for a bit of variety and can be used in a large range of projects.
