The possibilities are endless when it comes to homemade knitted presents. You can start out with a small and manageable project, such as hair ties, pot holders or dishcloths, or you can take on a larger project and knit a sweater, a blanket or a cushion cover, as examples.

The quick present

It doesn't have to take a long time to knit a lovely present. Likewise, a knitted present does not have to consist of advanced knitting techniques. If you are in a last-minute situation and need a present, here are some ideas for what you that can be knit in no time.

An easy and quick solution for a knitted present is hair ties/scrunchies or makeup pads. Both are fun and easy projects, and you can play with colours and even use up your leftover yarn.

A sure winner when it comes to quickly knitted presents is decorations for different occasions. Whether it is Christmas, Easter, Halloween, a birthday or something completely different, you can knit beautiful decorations in a short time that will adorn the home of your present recipient. On this page, you will find all our knitting patterns that are suitable for holidays. Among them, you will find patterns for Easter chickens, pumpkins, flag garlands, cup cozies and egg warmers.

The personalized present

Depending on who your recipient is, a personalized present can take all sorts of shapes and colours. However, you can find inspiration for a lovely personalized present below.

Knitting clothes and garments for others indicates that you have taken your time to knit something that can be used for many years ahead. Therefore, you may consider knitting a lovely and warm sweater, a beautiful and light summer top or a soft beanie for the winter season.

You can also take on knitting a beautiful blanket for either a baby or an adult. A blanket may seem like an overwhelming project, but it doesn't have to be. Depending on the pattern you choose to knit, you can either choose to knit a simple and garter stitch blanket or try out different types of patterns, which make the project fun and challenging. What makes blankets a really good and personal present is that they can last for many years, perhaps for generations, and that they can be used almost all year round.

The practical present

Practical presents may sound boring, but they can often be some of the best presents. If the recipient of the present loves to be in the kitchen and cook or bake, you may consider knitting a pair of nice pot holders for her/him. We offer a wide range of patterns for knitted pot holders, which are either completely simple or have patterns and colour changes, so you just have to choose a pattern that suits you and your time.

You may also consider knitting a beautiful dishcloth or a washing cloth. Both pot holders, dishcloths, and cloths are good, practical gifts that can be used again and again. But that doesn't have to mean that they are boring to knit or look at. For example, play with colours, knitting techniques, and yarns and achieve a personal and unique result that the recipient of your gift will love.

You can never have too many knitted dishcloths. If you are new with knitting needles, dishcloths are a good place to start. Here you can practice knitting and at the same time get a really nice, useful, and practical result. At the same time, you can also use some of all the leftover yarn you may have.

Another really good and practical gift idea is knitted socks. Like dishcloths, you can never have too few pairs of socks, making them a safe bet!
