Gifts for Outdoorsy Knitters

Keep knitting needles safe in the Ledger Tool Roll: Knitter’s Edition – Knitting Needle Case, from Cottonwood Co. This case is made from heavy cotton ticking, as well as waxed canvas, and contains two rows of pockets, along with a snap pocket for knitting notions. The roll comes in two sizes: large and small.

The Field Bag made famous by Fringe Supply Co. has been discontinued, but knitters can now make their own with the Field Bag and Notions Kit, from Grainline Studio. The kit comes in Yellow, Natural, and Toffee (pictured) and includes all the materials to create the bag. A strap makes the bag easy to carry, and the bag houses interior pockets for your notions, while the grommets keep the yarn in order. The pattern to create this fun bag is not included but can be bundled with the kit.

Keep yarn from rolling away into the dirty forest floor in the Filigree Yarn Bowl, from Knit Picks. Made from Indian rosewood, each bowl’s grain pattern and shade is unique and features a beautiful filigree pattern.

Little Gifts to Squirrel Away

Cable knits have never been easier to create and have never looked better in the making than with the Brass Cable Needle, from Knitpossible. Made from solid brass, this tool is a knitter’s best friend when it comes to cables, and it works with different gauges. The hammered arch ensures that cables stay put while also adding a decorative touch. Each cable needle is made to order.

The Yarn Squirrel Tin, from Firefly Notes, will keep small notions in order. Each tin features a handcrafted, small-batch design that is protected by a layer of glossy resin. The tin, which is perfect for travel, measures 3 9/16 inches long, 5 5/16 inches wide, and 7/16 inches deep, allowing plenty of room for stitch markers (pictured and also from Firefly Notes), a cable needle, and tapestry needle.

Add some cuteness to your notions kit with the Black Owl Embroidery Scissors, from Kelmscott Designs, distributed by Snuggly Monkey. These matte black scissors, which measure just under four inches, snip your yarn for the perfect cut and feature an owl that is more than happy to help with your projects.

Whether you hunker down by a fire to knit or you stitch socks at the top of a mountain, these gifts are sure to please any knitter.
