Easy Knitting Ideas

1. Anything Knit Pouch

I’ve made all sorts of DIY crochet bags and realized I’d only done one knit bag pattern. How crazy is that? So I found this pattern for a lovely little knit pouch the other day. This is a small pouch that would work well to throw in your summer bag to hold little things that you don’t want flying around inside of your purse. You could even use it in the bathroom as your primary makeup case! If you have a hard time getting rid of makeup, and you end up with a ton of it (like me), this might be a bit small, but it’s great for so many things! Also, this is a super little DIY gift project, all you need is a little yarn, some knitting needles and a little know how. The glasses case and makeup bag/ change purse are wonderful DIY gift ideas because they are one size fits all. Perfect for busywork while you are watching TV or listening to music. You can make quite a few in a short amount of time for extra gifts this holiday season.

2. Cute And Easy Knitting Loom Cowl

I saw this elegant DIY knitted cowl neck scarf on Pinterest and immediately thought about my Aunt. Aunt Hazel is always getting a chill in her throat and ears, so I decided to make her an elegant knitted scarf with for Christmas. She loves my hand knitted DIY gifts and brags to everyone at her church group how her niece is and an excellent knitter, of course, that leads into she learned it all from me, but that’s ok with me. She’s going to love this so much because it’s a bulky knit that could double as a pillow on a long journey. She can wear it around outside and its cloth so it’s not uncomfortable inside either. I recommend this 100%, you will not be disappointed.

3. Easy Knit Dishcloth

I love my natural bath potions and I like to make DIY knit or crochet washcloths out of hemp or burlap. These make excellent gifts and will not be under appreciated by anyone. They are super easy and are the hight of luxury. Everyone everywhere thinks these are fab if they don’t? Check their pulse. ?

4. Honeycomb Pop Basket

This morning, I decided to make a DIY craft knit basket as a gift for my Grandmother. This is a simple bucket pattern that has bubble sides and accented with built-in handles. The cool thing about this pattern is that you don’t have to line the bag or cover the interior. This yarn is from Joann’s Fabric Store, where you can always use your app coupons. I found these coordinating Murano yarns that looked awesome. The bag is fairly deep which makes it the perfect size for an overnight stays. This is an adorable DIY Christmas gift for teens, also a birthday present you can knit. Make a few of these darling bags, they are sure to be adored.

5. Knitted Stool

Everyone I’ve ever made these for loves them, they have such an Earthy feel and with the cold slowly creeping up on us, there’s really nothing better than the thought of hot chocolates, fires, onesies, snuggles and a cute new knitting project to keep you busy and warm. I managed to find this free pattern for my newest obsession: The DIY knitted stool! This amazingly cozy-looking puffy stool is like the love-child of footstools and slippers that look like they’ll give your rear end and ankles a big ol’ comforting hug!
