Perfect Holiday Present Ideas
December 7, 2021
It’s already December, but the way we look at it, it’s only early(ish) December, which means there’s still plenty of time to make some gifts for friends, family, or your amazing mail carrier – you know, the one who never questions the amount of online shopping you’re doing.
We’ve put together a little list with some of our favourite patterns, so follow the links below for some perfect present inspiration!
First up, what we’re currently working on:
We’re in love with this delicate snowflake, it’s a classic and reminds us of the ones we found on our grandparents’ Christmas tree. Even though the pattern calls for a 1.75mm hook, we’re using our kollage SQUARE™ 2mm, and it’s producing a beautiful result!

Next, you can never go wrong with cozy socks or a versatile beanie, and these patterns are a few of our faves because they’re quick, perfect for working on in the evenings, or while binging Netflix on a Sunday:

We’re loving this collection of home décor items – they’re incredibly cute, useful and sure to bring a “wait, you MADE THIS?!”, which we think is one of the best feelings! These patterns are on our to-make list (even if that list is for a post-holiday palette cleanser project):
