---

Headed to someone’s house for the holidays? Don’t arrive empty-handed! There’s no better way to thank holiday hosts for their hospitality than to crochet something special. To help kick-start your planning, we’ve compiled a list of 8 quick crochet projects perfect for any holiday host. We can’t wait to get started!

1. Warm Woolen Mittens

Everyone needs a pair of quick crochet mittens for the holidays, and any host will appreciate this pair! Practice your crochet colorwork with snowflakes on the back of the hand and a checkered pattern on the palm. They’re perfect for the chilly winter season!

2. Tulip Gauntlets

Like the Warm Woolen Mittens, this project also allows you to play with color. These quick crochet fingerless mitts use a shell mosaic pattern to create both layered color and texture. This one is easy to customize in colors your holiday host will love.

3. Ponderosa Headband

This is a quick crochet project for practicing crochet cables. Headbands appeal to a wide range of people and are useful projects for workout enthusiasts who exercise in the cold. It also makes a stylish substitute for a hat. This headband is easily made in an evening.

4. Li’l Punkins

These cute pumpkins make great home décor for fall holidays and can easily become an excellent centerpiece for a Thanksgiving table. If you know your host loves home décor, work these up with a pin loom and use up some extra yarn.

5. Labyrinth Wall Hanging

A great stash bushing project, this bright wall hanging works up quickly in bulky-weight yarn. This is the perfect gift for color-loving hosts, and anyone who’s recently moved and might be looking to decorate their new place!

6. Home Grown Plant Cozy

Plants add a little green to what could otherwise be a drab space. Work up one of these cozies for a poinsettia and take it with you for a gift that keeps on giving.

7. Pumpkin Pie Slouchy Hat

Worked in just one or two balls of a bulky yarn in a simple, straightforward stitch pattern, this hat just oozes autumn comfort. Add a pom-pom to the top if you want a bit more cold weather fun!

8. Lacuna Cowl

Talk about quick and easy! Worked using a 2-row repeat on a multiple of 6 stitches, this cowl will fly off your hook in time for any holiday gathering!
