Looking for something different
The above three patterns are all suitable for beginners, and the adults versions are quite lengthy projects.
If you think the knitter you love would like a Christmas gift that poses more of a challenge then one of the knitting kits from Kit Couture will make a great Christmas present.
Or if you want to buy a cheaper Christmas gift a few options include:
Buy a pattern book
They come with multiple patterns, have beautiful photography and can be read for inspiration or your knitter can choose to make something with yarn from their stash. At $23 they are an affordable way to show someone you care and give them projects to last them all year.
Or, buy a few balls of wool. Most knitters can whip up a cute beanie or small scarf with 2 balls of yarn, or they can use them with yarn they already own to create a striped item. 5 balls can result in a size small-medium summer top, a child's garment or a large scarf and 10 balls is usually enough for a small to large jumper, a larger t-shirt/vest or again can be combined with other yarn. Knitters will have as much fun deciding what to make with their Christmas present as they do knitting with it!
