Make This Year a Crocheted Holiday!
Christmas for crocheters is a busy time! Handmade gifts and crocheted pieces are a great way to give something extra meaningful. I know my kids LOVE anything that is red, green, sparkly and has to do with Christmas, so I usually try to crochet something for them every year.
Two years ago I made Christmas tree gift cardholders for their teachers and the year before that a Christmas star banner to hang. As for this year, I am not quite sure yet, but I am open to any suggestions for gifts.
The Yarns That Are Perfect for These Crochet Gift Ideas
If you are crocheting many gifts then you’ll want to use yarns that are beautiful and affordable. I love using numerous yarns for gift but below are a few that I love (and use) and hope you’ll want to try them too!

The yarns I use & recommend
Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn
Wool-Ease Thick & Quick is a great super bulky six yarn that is great if you’d love to work up a gift fast.
24/ 7 Cotton from Lion Brand Yarn
This cotton yarn from Lion Brand is perfect to use when you are crocheting washcloths and dishcloths as gifts!
