12 Quick & Easy Crochet Gifts


 We absolutely love making handmade gifts for our family and friends. We have put together a new video on our channel with 12 Quick & Easy Crochet Gifts to give you some inspiration. Perfect for Birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas. These are all things we have made ourselves and gifted.


We have also linked some of the other patterns we have made as well as a few we would love to make, but haven't yet!

Elements Gloves: by Nancy Said (paid pattern) These crochet gloves are our all time favourite gloves. The pattern uses a DK weight yarn and is a fun pattern worked in the round.

Gelato Gloves: by Nancy Said (paid pattern) These gloves are a lovely, feminine, elegant design that also use DK weight yarn. This is a shorter glove, perfect for the cooler autumn mornings.

Crochet Granny Wrist Warmers: by Creative Jewish Mom (free pattern). These are a really cute pair of gloves using a chunky yarn, which would work up very quickly.

Crossroads Wristlet Strap: by A Knotty Habit Design (free pattern). Using a variagated cotton yarn, this was a quick make that produced a really cute key fob. The crossed single crochet stitch is used throughout, which gives a lovely texture to an otherwise simple item.

Beginner Keychain Wristlet: byCozy Nooks Designs (free pattern), is a really quick and easy beginner project.

Crochet Sea Shell Earrings by Golden Lucy Crafts (paid pattern). Earrings are a lovely gift to make, these ones are fun and easy, and for ours, we used embroidery thread which is a lovely way to use them up. Once you make one, you will have to make one in every colour!

FiberFlux: Here you will find a huge range of free crochet earring patterns with YouTube tutorials, making them very easy to follow. There are some lovely designs here, many are on our to-make list!

Small Flower Necklace: by Crochet n Create (free pattern). I gifted this to my mum and she loved it.

Heart Necklace: by Edie Eckman (free Pattern) A really cute heart necklace which would make a lovely gift for a loved one.

Caitlin made this scrunchie quite awhile ago and can't remember the pattern she used. We have listed some patterns that could be used. They are a quick, easy make that can co-ordinate with any outfit.

Even though this is a dishcloth it is just as cute as a facecloth. This pattern uses double and treble crochet to form the lemon peel stitch.
Floral Face Cloth: Romantic Crochet Book by Emma Escott. This face cloth is the most adorable flower. Teamed up with the cleansing pad, it is a simple make that produces a very unique gift.
