Quick Knit Gifts

Christmas is only a month away! We're running out of time to knit - too many projects, too little time. If you're like me, then you like to knit gifts for your whole family and friends too. The key is  getting everything done in time. Below I have my go-to projects for when I'm tight on time. These are all knitting projects that shouldn't take more then 2 days to complete (if you're committed)!

Cable Knit Headband

This is a gift most girls would LOVE to receive! I can whip up one of these headbands in two hours. I sit down to watch a movie and by the end I always have a headband finished.

Knit Ornaments 

I love making these as gifts for friends. I can make one ornament in about an hour. Once you memorize the pattern it's really easy to whip up a set of them.

Knit Coasters 

These knit coasters are so easy you don't really even need a pattern. I use cotton yarn for these and knit a simple square with a boarder. You can knit a set of four within a day. 

 

Knit iPhone Case 

I always have left-over yarn from my headbands so I started making these. This is a great pattern to use up left over yarn. I can finish one of these cases in a day. They are super cute and great gifts.

Drawstring Christmas Bag 

I knit a few of these last year and gave them away with gifts inside. I love knitting these because they require minimal sewing and can be completed in 2 days. They are perfect bags for giving jewelry or ornaments.

Cable Knit Cowl

I just finished the pattern for this cowl since it has been so popular. I can knit this in 2 days - if I'm determined. If you're more chill this pattern could take you up to 4 days. If you have lots of time to spare, it's a great last minute gift.

My knit ornaments are now on Etsy! I absolutely love how they all turned out and I can't wait to knit some for my own Christmas tree! :)

Getting Ready For Christmas

This morning I got on Pinterest and guess what I saw? Christmas pins! Lots and lots of Christmas pins! This made me want to knit Christmas-y things. I wasn't as prepared for fall sales as I should have been so I want to be really prepared for Christmas sales this year! I started off by knitting a little snow man and some pretty little ornaments.

Knit Bow Ornaments

I just added some pretty knit bow ornaments to my Etsy store! These bow make great gifts and you could also just use them as gift wrapping! They are so cute and I put them on almost all the gifts I gave last year. I also just finished this pretty turquoise pillow that will be available on Etsy next week!
