Whether you like simple and easy designs, or you enjoy a pattern with a little extra pop, we've put together a list of 8 FREE pattern suggestions that look fantastic, and make the best gifts!
1. Bankhead by Susie Gourlay
This is a classic hat that has a great size range, making it perfect for all those knit-worthy littles in your life! Another benefit to this hat is that it is knit at a Worsted weight gauge, so that makes it a super quick knit too!
2. Rye Socks by tincanknits
Another family friendly pattern is of course the Rye socks! This pattern makes knitting socks a breeze because Tin Can Knits has so many helpful tutorials along with their app to help you make the best fitting socks for your loved ones.
3. Timmer - fingerless mittens by Agnes Brandels
These fingerless mittens will be on and off your needles in a flash! Knit with Aran weight yarn, and with a darling texture, you'll find yourself knitting a pair for your friend and a set for yourself!
4. Plume Dandy by Plucky Knitter Design
This cowl is great for those who like a no-fuss knit to pop on and head out the door! One of the best parts about this design is the versatility when playing with colors. Knit it with 3 colors, or make a scrappy version, and lean into mixing and matching different yarns too! Why not have fun while planning your gift knits!
5. Tiny Tree Socks by Summer Lee
Who said you shouldn't knit some gifts for yourself? If you like your holiday decor to reflect your knitting addiction, these colorful little socks can be whipped up in no time to hang on the tree, or string into a garland for the mantel!
6. Scrap Yarn Basket by Cintia Gonzalez
This crochet basket made from scrap yarn is the perfect craft project, not just for using up your scraps, but make one for your fellow fiber enthusiast to hold all of their scraps!
7. Ophidia Hat by Macarena Silva
The Ophidia Hat is the perfect way to get the most out of just two skeins of yarn! Plus, if you are new to stranded knitting, the pattern is easy to follow with its simple construction and comes in 3 sizes. We also happen to have kits in the shop for this pattern!
8. Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West
This simple triangle shawl is easily memorizable and can accommodate whatever yarn weight you choose. Knit with the recipient in mind, you can customize it to fit what they would like best!
Coming soon... NEW Winter PK Essentials!
'Tis the season for cloudy skies and snow kissed scenery! Help us celebrate all things WINTER this Friday with a NEW, specially curated palette of 50 colors, across 12 bases featuring 3 NEWLY CREATED colorways that are inspired by our beautiful Michigan winters.
Want to meet our 3 NEW colors AND our NEW shawl design?
Reminiscent of those moody clouds that drift off Lake Michigan with the possibility of snow, this medium to light, warm toned gray, evokes a feeling of staying inside all warm and snuggly.
Although part of the pine family, the blue spruce has more of a blue color, and you'll find this the same for our Blue Spruce! This shape-shifter at time leans green, while under some lighting, can lean towards blue.
Pine Mountain Shawl
The Pine Mountain Shawl is inspired by the cool, crisp colors of a winter in Michigan. It is a gathering of the pleasing aroma of pine from the blue spruce, to the rich flavor of a sugar plum. And, not to be forgotten is the lake effect snow, that reminds us how much we need a simple-to-style shawl that’s easy to make and even easier to wear!
Knit from tip to edge, increasing every right side row to create an asymmetrical triangle shape that will keep you warm and cozy.
Don't Forget!
We are still making all the things during our Fall KAL over in the Ravelry group, so if you need more ideas for gift knits or just want to pop in and say HI, we'd love to visit with you! Also, make sure to post your FO's if you're knitting with at least 80% Plucky yarns in the FO threads! We have some great prizes lined up! The KAL ends December 31st, so you still have all month long to finish up your projects.
Happy Making, Friends!
