Quick Crochet Gift Ideas
Staff-created list
If you have yarn - or just a sweater to unravel and upcycle - you can make holiday gifts and decorations with the instructions in any of the downloadable eBooks or magazines below! There's something for every skill level on this list, so if you check out one item and find it above or below the complexity you enjoy, please browse until you find the kind of pattern you'd like to use. Fulton County Library System has hundreds of crochet magazines, books, and tutorial videos available for download at any time, ready whenever you are. If you don't know how to crochet and want to learn, check out the link at the bottom of this list to our list of instruction videos and downloads.
While this gift idea list is Christmas heavy, don't forget that crochet can be used for gifts at any time of year. Use your holiday break to pick up a useful skill that can be used to create toys and gifts for any occasion. Many times materials for crochet can be found at yard sales and free cycle groups, and yarn from outgrown or unloved sweaters can be repurposed to more joyful projects.
Reading crochet patterns is like reading a kind of code related to rows and types of stitches. For more information on how to crochet, be sure to check out the downloads and instructional videos linked at the bottom of this list.
