46 Crochet Stocking Stuffer Ideas
With gift giving season approaching I always try to think of last minute crochet items that I can make to have on hand, or quick patterns that I can store for later use. There’s always a last minute invite to a party, extra company showing up unexpectedly, or just plain forgetting someone on your gift list.
My favorite crochet gifts are things that are useful and will actually be used by the intended recipient. Even better is when I make a gift that ends up being a cherished item or something that they didn’t know that they needed in their life. I love that!
Holiday parties are a great place to escape the cold and warm up with friends and family. At these events I really enjoy handmade decorations like snowflakes, garlands, and Christmas ornaments. If you’re hosting a party this year, don’t forget the Christmas Punch and why not make some Christmas Ornament Coasters to save your furniture? Sew some together and you also have a festive garland. 🎄
I hand picked some quick patterns that are sure to please everyone on your gift giving list this year. Something for everyone! Some of these would be great to work on year round and to keep in a gift closet for birthdays, housewarmings, or other special occasions throughout the year as well.
