In the spirit of my last post regarding gift-giving yarn choices, let's talk about patterns for a moment.
Some people on our lists will occasionally get really complex time-consuming projects off our needles or hooks. But, for the most part, the idea knit gift will be something fairly quick to knit. Probably taking a maximum of 400 or 500 yards of yarn and a couple weeks or less of our time. After all, many of us have long lists of gift recipients.
Do you have a favorite go-to pattern? Have you been eyeing pattern that you want to try? I'm looking for specific patterns (with links, if possible...Ravelry project links work) to review.
Designers: here's your chance to plug your most giftable pattern! :)
I'll choose 10-20 to highlight in a future post. I won't be knitting them all, mind you, but I will add many to my queue!
This is the first year I'm doing knitted gifts for a serious number of people and I'm going with felted slippers for everyone! I'm using two patterns, French Press Felted Slippers (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/french-press-felted-slippers) for the ladies and Felted Clogs AC-33 (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/felted-clogs-ac-33) for the guys. I just bought all the yarn today, and I'm hoping to get going on them soon. We'll see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI'm over halfway through my first Cherry Garcia and I LOVE it and it is a very quick knit (have to wait for a second skein of yarn to come in the mail to finish it). http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cherry-garcia I'm already planning a second one.
ReplyDeletemy favorite gift-giving pattern is anything using yarn about the diameter of my pinky.
