Fast and fabulous handmade Christmas Gift!

Jane December 7, 2018

Did you have lofty plans to make your nearest and dearest a carefully crafted Christmas gift?

Did you only just realise that Christmas is in about 2 weeks! Yikes!

Never fear… you can still do it…the best thing about this project is actually 2 things.

  1. It’s a beginner project - so EVERYONE - can do this

  2. You can use up your yarn stash of half balls of wool and bits and pieces

So have a look, find some yarn and appropriate needles - 8ply & 4mm is always easy.

And here are the instructions.

Basic plain knit bookmarks… look cute with contrasting fringe and embroidery.

The main picture is of a Bookmark I made using Moss Stitch (which is simply Knit 1, Purl 1, for the whole row) I then added a Pom Pom for fun! You can see how it’s done below.

Add a book if you’re feeling super generous, or just the bookmark is a lovely present.

Hi!👋🏼 Me again... chunky beanie kits will be available this week. Do you like purple? I didn’t used to like but I do now, maybe I’m a slave to fashion? 💜
I think it’s the shade, more a lilac really. #beanie #quickknit #knittingki
