Handmade gifts are such a special way to share craft and show our love for close friends and family. Christmas is only a month and a half away, and so now is the perfect time to start preparing handmade gifts! Below are some quick makes that I think would be perfect for this gifting season. This guide has a range of knit and crochet patterns for any loved ones in your life!

Some things to consider when picking what to make:

• time: pick projects that are quick or use bulky yarn to ensure you will finish them in time

• function: create gifts that will be well loved and appreciated to make sure that they are worth your time and effort

• individual taste: customising gifts is a great way to personalise your gifting and make sure the reciever loves it
