Gift Guide: Holiday Gifts Under $35 for Knitters & Crocheters

The holiday season is fast approaching and it’s time to shop for gifts. This time of year can be stressful and feel fast-paced, no matter how exciting it is. So we’re taking the guesswork out of shopping with great holidays gifts for knitters and crocheters under $35.

We shared these ideas in Interweave Knits Gifts 2022, where you will find many projects that you and your loved ones will adore. Be sure to check out this year’s issue of Knits Gifts too! As fun as it is to gift goodies to friends and family, it’s important to remember to pick up a treat for yourself as well. You deserve one, too!

The Goodies

Gifts for knitters and crocheters don’t have to be large or out-of-the-ordinary items. Cards can feel like a treat, and ornaments too!

Holiday Cards

Artiphany’s holiday cards will put you in the jolly spirit with their adorable illustrations! The “Fleece Navidad!” and “Season’s Bleatings!” cards come with festive envelopes to send to your family and friends.

Knitting and Crochet Patterned Earrings

The ADELLA Earrings from Birdie Parker Designs are the perfect self-gift for those who love to show their passion for craft in different ways. These made-to-order earrings include both the purl- and knit-stitch motifs. Crochet motifs are available in different sizes and shapes, too. Choose copper to keep costs down or splurge on sterling silver!

Elegant Stitch Markers

Treat yourself, and a friend, to a beautiful set of stitch markers this year. The Circle Stitch Markers from Holly Banks Lane come with five markers that are made in small batches from porcelain clay and stoneware, making each piece unique. The stitch markers are available in three colorways: Terrazzo (pictured), Mother of Purl, and Toile.

Lotion Bar

Reward hardworking hands with a Vanilla Lotion Bar from Happy Hive Creations Co. This bar is made from beeswax to protect the skin and includes Shea and Kokum butters among its nourishing ingredients. Both butters are perfect for soothing sore hands.

Dryer Balls

The Wool Dryer Balls from Nerdy Sheep Fiberworks contain a set of three to four dryer balls (depending on the size) to replace your fabric softener. They are reusable, do not contain chemicals, help reduce drying time, and make a great gift.

Essential Oil

Pair a gift pack of wool dryer balls with essential oils in a holiday scent. A few drops of Red Spruce Essential Oil on wool dryer balls will deter pesky moths and make a closet smell like the holidays. This essential oil, from The Essencers, is 100% pure, sustainably harvested, and distilled in Maine.

Sheep-Themed Mug

Savor hot chocolate in the Social Knitworking Mug from Artiphany. This fun mug features a friendly flock of sheep, embodying the holiday spirit. The 13-ounce porcelain mug is microwave- and dishwasher safe.

Sheep Ornament

The Sheep Ornament from Katrinkles is inspired by Romney sheep and allows you to create the woolly sheep of your dreams. Fill the wooden ornament’s holes with yarn or even embroidery thread to create customized ornaments for family and friends.

Gift Away

While these items are perfect gifts for other knitters and crocheters, they’d make a great treat for you, too. Make sure to take some time for yourself this busy holiday season, no matter who these gifts are for.

Happy gifting!
