Gifts for Knitters

By Sarah E. White, About.com

No matter what the occasion, most knitters appreciate getting knitting tools and supplies as a gift. Whether you're looking for a special something for a fellow crafter or want to provide a few pointers to your loved ones (just direct them to this page), here are some great ideas for knitting related gifts.

Another great kit idea for a knitter is one that might teach her or him a new skill. If your favorite knitter is new to felting (or even if not), this knit and felted sushi bag kit (other styles are also available) would make a great gift. All supplies except knitting needles are included, and there are multiple ways to finish the bag so the knitter still gets to add a bit of his or her own style.

12. Lace Knitting to Go

Another great box of stitch patterns is Chronicle's Lace Knitting to Go, which includes 25 cards with lace knitting patterns that you can use as the basis for your own lacy knitting projects. The cards include written instructions and charts, so they're great practice for knitters who aren't that comfortable with chart reading.

13. Gift Certificates

If all else fails, no knitter will turn down a gift certificate to her favorite yarn shop. If the knitter you're shopping for lives where you do, you could also sign the two of you up to take a class together and buy her or his supplies. Or go for a gift card for one of the big chain craft stores if your friend doesn't have a local yarn shop.
