Wool Yarn and Lots More Gifts for Knitters

For Beginners

If you have friends who seem fascinated by the way you weave wool yarn into a comfy sweater, it's a great time to get them hooked on the knitting bug? There are many fantastic gift ideas for beginning knitters, including:

-- A Learn To Knit Kit

Make your own set of knitting instructions or borrow some free knitting patterns, buy some pretty wool yarn that will knit into something special, throw in the clear and concise pattern for making something simple (think scarf or washcloth), add a pair of knitting needles, and put it all in a fancy box. Viola, instant knitting gift!

-- A Store-Bought Knitting Kit

There are many kits available online or at local craft stores specifically designed for the novice knitter. Some of them include books, others -- like a Chinese-takeout themed kit from Amazon -- come in fun themes. But they're all great for beginners and novices alike.

-- Instructional Books

Easiest to find and, perhaps, the most useful gift to give is a book of instructions on how to knit. Make a really special present and throw in some wool yarn or needles.

For Seasoned Knitters

Don't worry, there are plenty of gifts for more experienced knitters too.

-- Something you Knit Yourself

Only a knitter can really appreciate the time and effort that goes into knitting something for someone else. Keep in mind, though, that big projects like sweaters and afghans -- especially if you use expensive wool yarn -- can add up in a hurry.

-- A More Advanced Instructional Book or a Subscription to a Knitting Magazine

There are literally hundreds of knitting books out there for the young and the old, and there are many crafty magazines devoted exclusively to knitting as well. A quick walk through any well-stocked bookstore should provide you with what you need -- if you're giving a magazine subscription, it's a nice touch to include a current copy of the magazine.

-- Custom Gifts from Kyle Design

This interesting website has perfect gifts for the knitter in your life. Whether you're looking for a knitting-themed knick knack or a flask with a knitting design, you're sure to find it here.

So turn away from that old pile of needles. Get some wool yarn and get creative with your gifts for knitters!
