Knitting Gift Ideas for Your Favorite Knitter

Are you looking for knitting gifts for your favorite knitter? If you are a knitter yourself, choosing the perfect knitting gift is easy. Just choose something you’d love to have yourself. However, if you aren’t a knitter but you need knitting gift ideas, here are a few that you can’t go wrong with (scroll down for an update on new knitting gift ideas):

1. Gift Certificate or Gift Card for the local yarn shop or for a store that has knitting items like Joann, Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Let your favorite knitter choose her own gift. You might also consider a gift card for a book store so your gift recipient can choose a book or magazine about knitting.

2. A knitting book gift idea is Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot’s Bag of Knitting Tricks. Check to see if your knitter has a copy of this book. Every knitter should read it! Stephanie’s newest knitting book for 2012 is All Wound Up. Read my review here.

3. Knitting Needle Case Holder. Even if your knitter has one of these, most knitters can use another one. This Lantern Moon Purple Aqua Raw Silk Knitting Needle Case Holder is really a pretty needle holder and fancy enough for a knitting gift.

4. Yarn Ball Winder . If your gift recipient doesn’t have a yarn winder, they are really handy and appreciated.

5.  A Yarn-Tainer – Large is a nice plastic container with a lid. You can put your yarn

into it and pull it out while knitting so that your yarn doesn’t tangle. Very handy.

5. A few skeins of fancy yarn is a lovely knitting gift. Any knitter loves to add to his or her stash and they will always find a use for it in a special project. Something like this Fancy Fur Yarn-Flaming Fuchsia is luscious. You can’t go wrong with yarn like this
Araucania Aysen Hand Dyed Merino-Alpaca-Silk Yarn either.

6. Extra knitting needles like this set Knitting Needle Case and Needle Set

I used to think you only needed one set of knitting needles in each size – WRONG! You can never have too much yarn or too many knitting needles.

Beautiful rosewood knitting needles

If you have a big budget and you really want your knitter to love you, you might consider this Deluxe set of 14″ Rosewood Knitting Needles with a Case. Any knitter would feel like royalty working with these needles. They are really beautiful and most knitters wouldn’t buy these rosewood knitting needles for themselves.

These are just a few knitting gift ideas and hopefully will give you a head start on shopping for your knitter. If you still can’t decide, head to your local yarn store and ask advice. There is sure to be some special knitting needles, yarns or gift ideas that will catch your eye.
