Easy Knitting Patterns for the Holidays
02 Dec 2008
It is now December and the holiday gift giving season is almost here. Are you ready with all of your knitted gifts? If you are anything like me than your holiday knitting gift list is a very long one. There is not much time left to get it all done. That is where some easy knitting patterns could come in handy.
Generally easy knitting patterns are quick to knit and do not involve any complicated stitch patterns. I love patterns that I can finish in only a few hours or maybe in a few sessions while I am watching the television or listening to some music.
Scarves, hats, mittens, and small sweater projects make up the bulk of my holiday presents. If you live in a warmer area that does not see much cold weather, then consider making a beret or lightweight scarf out of cotton yarn. Berets are the must have knitted hat this season. And they are a very simple knitting project.
If you are looking for some easy knitting patterns then I must recommend the Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns by Ann Budd. It is filled with knitted projects that will fit everyone from a toddler to an adult. You can also use any size yarn with the simple instructions for adjusting with gauge. It is a great book for helping to knit down your yarn stash and getting your Holiday gift list taken care of. Or if you do not have much yarn on hand then you will not have to run from store to store to find the right types of yarn that other patterns may call for.
Good luck and have fun knitting. Let me know your favorite easy knitting patterns too. I’m always on the lookout for great one. I’m not sure you can ever have too many patterns in your library.
