11 Crochet Gifts for Mother’s Day

What crochet gift is good enough for mom? My mom was the person who taught me to smile and look for my blessings through difficult times. She taught me how to crochet, knit, sew, spin and garden. She was there when I felt like I couldn’t get up and lifted me back onto my feet. And she still sends me crazy care packages. But she’s not the only mother in my life. I have the great opportunity to go visit my grandma every week. I can spend hours there. And I have so many more great examples of mothers around me.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, I had to find the perfect crochet gift for the mothers in my life. I finally narrowed it down to three crochet gift categories. So pick the perfect yarn in your mother, grandmother, sister, or friend’s favorite color and show them how much they mean to you with one of these crochet gift ideas.

Crochet Shawls

Crochet shawls are always a fabulous idea for the mother in your life. My mother is always cold, and my sister fluctuates hourly between freezing cold and unbearably hot. That’s why a shawl makes such a great crochet gift! They are easy to throw around your shoulders when you are chilly but are just as easy to slip off if you get warm. The Hammock Shawl works up quickly, and I love the simple casual elegance. Does your mother appreciate something a little fancier? I’d suggest the Water Lily Shawl. And if you are looking for a shawl pattern that combines warmth and a surprising trim, try the Woodland Shawl or the Starry Night Shawl.

Crochet Jewelry

Need a quick crochet gift for Mother’s Day this year? Turn your hook to crochet jewelry! Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings work up in an evening in delicate thread crochet and make crochet gifts that are customizable and perfect for any mother.  Match the Crystalline Earrings to your mom’s favorite dress or create her own Arrowhead Necklace or Art Nouveau Bullion Necklace if she prefers a statement piece.

Crochet Bags

My final category suggestion for the perfect crochet gift this Mother’s Day is purses and bags. You can never have too many bags and purses. I’ve stopped counting mine. Some are filled with my latest crochet projects and some are sitting ready for the next trip to the farmer’s market or evening with friends. The Sashiko Clutch and Succulent Clutch work up quickly and are ideal for an evening out. The Tweedy Bag and Winter Rose Tote would be perfect for my grandmother. She could fit everything she needs when she goes out for a bit of shopping.

This Mother’s Day, show the mom, grandma, sister, or aunt in your life just how much she means to you with a handmade crochet gift chosen and crocheted just for her.

Happy crocheting,

Toni
