It is advisable to use threads for knitting, which in a large product will not gain a noticeable mass.

You can knit it with a single canvas or from separate elements, for example, openwork squares consisting of threads of different colors.

Knitting gifts
Many products look much better if they are made with knitting needles. Large canvases are softer and more pleasant to the touch than crocheted ones. In addition, knitting large-sized things is sometimes easier on the needles, especially if the tools have a large diameter.

Scarf
Such a gift is by the way for any person. For especially fashionable ones, you can "release" another variety - snood. The scarf can be plain, striped, with braids, made with garter stitch, and so on. For knitting, it is undesirable to choose pure wool; it is preferable to take yarn with a high acrylic content.

If there is a lot of wool, the scarf will prick, creating discomfort on the skin of the face and neck. In addition, wool quickly rolls up, and its appearance is lost faster than things with acrylic.
Socks
This gift is definitely not lying around in the corner. The socks can be worn at home and outside in cold weather. For a "specific recipient of the gift" you can arrange them in the form of golf.When knitting, you need to take into account the size of the feet of the one who celebrates the holiday. Although, taking into account that the socks stretch a little when put on, if you make a mistake, it's not scary.

Gloves and mittens
If the size of the future gift coincides with the size of his own hand or the hand of another person who can try on a knitted product in the course of its creation, there is no doubt that it will fit the person who is planning a holiday. Gloves are a little more difficult to knit, since you have to knit each finger separately, but mittens do not make them difficult at all. You can make such things in one tone with a relief pattern or create a jacquard pattern on them.

Such things, presented for the New Year, look great, especially if they are made in the appropriate colors and theme of the picture. For example, with snowflakes or Christmas trees. Although, if you wish, you can depict flowers, stars or traditional folk patterns on them.
Sweater
A variety of this option can be a jacket or a vest. Since knitting full-length clothes takes time, it is advisable to start work well in advance of the expected delivery time. If you do something in a hurry, the result may not be what you expected. But if you knit calmly, competently, a sweater will become the very thing that a person will not want to part with even after years.

Pillow
Knitted items of this kind look elegant and do not get lost among other additions to the sofa. The knitted part is only the cover. To make the product look attractive, it is important to think over its design taking into account the shape of the pillow itself. Here, a variety of patterns that can be knitted, as well as thread colors, combined in different ways, will come to the rescue.

Advice
Knitted items require special handling when applied. Considering that they need to be washed periodically, the owner of the gift should know in advance how to do it correctly. Together with the present, it is advisable to attach an instruction manual for the item. You need to indicate in it:
- what specific threads are used for knitting;
- what washing conditions do they require;
