As the holiday season approaches, many knitters & crafters are looking for the perfect knitting pattern for Christmas gifts. If you’re looking to create knitted Christmas gifts that will keep your loved ones warm, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve been in the same position these last years, where we spent hours and hours looking at patterns to find the perfect quick and cute christmas knits. As knitwear designers, we spent the last quarter of last year to design the perfect nit Christmas gifts that your loved ones will keep and cherish for years to come.
Why you should choose knitted gifts this Christmas?
Handmade presents add a personal touch that store-bought items simply can’t match. Small knitted gifts are not only thoughtful but also practical, keeping your friends and family warm throughout the winter months. Plus, the act of knitting itself can be a calming and joyful experience during the often hectic holiday season. (as long as you start early enough!)
Here are our Top Picks for Knitted Christmas Gifts
1. The Linnea Gloves: the coziest fingerless mittens
Our Linnea Gloves pattern is perfect for those seeking an intermediate-level project. These elegant gloves feature delicate, highlighted increases that add a touch of sophistication to any winter outfit. Knit in a soft, warm yarn (like cashmere or angora), they’re sure to become a favorite accessory.
You can use a variety of yarns for these. If you want a knitted christmas gift on a budget, you can buy only one single skein of the recommended cashmere and knit the gloves a bit shorter than stated in the pattern – this one the Linnea Gloves turn into a one-skein christmas gift!
2. Livi Set: The Ultimate Cozy Hat and Scarf Combo
For a truly speedy make, consider knitting the Livi Set. This matching hat and scarf duo is designed to provide maximum warmth and style. The textured pattern adds visual interest while being enjoyable to knit. It’s an ideal knitted Christmas gift for someone special in your life.
This pattern is made on quite large needles – so if you are in a serious time crunch, we can advice knitting the Livi Hat! It can be knit up in a couple of hours and is the perfect knitted beanie pattern!
3. Elin Headband: Quick and Cute
Spent too much time working on your own projects and are now short on time? The Elin Headband is a small knitted gift that will keep your head warm and is different from your classic hat or beanie. This stylish knit accessory works up quickly, making it perfect for last-minute gifting. It’s also a great way to use up leftover yarn from larger projects!
4. Solvej Scarf: A Free Pattern to Spread Joy
We’re excited to offer a free knitting pattern for our beautiful Solvej Scarf. This free Christmas knitting pattern is perfect for knitters of all levels and makes for a wonderful gift. The Solvej Scarf features a simple yet striking design that showcases the beauty of your chosen yarn. It is the perfect beginner knitting project!
