It remains only to figure out in time what holiday is ahead and who needs not to be deprived of their attention, to have time to make a suitable present - there are a lot of ideas for knitted gifts themselves.

Crocheted products sometimes look both naive and rustic - in a rustic style, while others are distinguished by their elegance. In any case, they remain unique. You will not find this among the consumer goods in stores. So relatives and friends will appreciate the present.

Even a novice craftswoman will create a simple napkin. It is enough for her to use a scheme in which there are no complex knitting elements. Experienced people who know how to knit quickly and have a little more understanding than a "double crochet" will easily swing at creating an original product.

Such a thing is knitted both as an independent product, and in a set with napkins. In fact, many tablecloths look like huge napkins. You can cover even a coffee table or a dining table with a homemade tablecloth. A knitted gift will be suitable for a place in a house that has a certain style, for example, country or Provence.

An openwork vessel for dried flowers made of threads looks original. He will surely delight those who love such bouquets. The finished product must be shaped with a saturated starch solution.Another option is if the thread lace is a kind of cover for an ordinary vessel.

Such a thing is created according to the same principle as a vase. You can take a sour cream jar as a basis and insert it inside the knitted product. Decorate the lid of the box with multi-colored knitted flowers and leaves, complementing the decorations with beads. Any woman will be happy with such an unusual gift.

This quite practical thing will be a decoration of the kitchen. You can make a complete set of such "dishes". Some take ordinary napkins as a basis, soak them in a solution of starch or sugar and put them on a disc, which serves as a suitable bowl. After that, an unusual item with candies inside appears on the table, reminiscent of the holiday on the occasion of which it was presented.

There are a huge number of options for such products. They are made from a wide variety of yarns. Some fit in a pocket, others can even be used as a pillow. If you tie a cool cat or bear to a child, it is quite possible that it is he who will become a real friend for the baby, without which he will not want to go to bed.

A crocheted item of such a plan can have any shape. Many crocheted key rings are the same toys, only of a very small size. In doing so, they allow you to quickly find keys in a bunch of other things.

This cozy gift will come just right for the New Year holidays or for the birthday of someone who was born in the cold season. It is advisable to use threads for knitting, which in a large product will not gain a noticeable mass. Then the blanket will not become unnecessarily heavy and will not create problems during washing. You can knit it with a single canvas or from separate elements, for example, openwork squares consisting of threads of different colors.

Such a gift is good not only for your beloved grandmother. This is a wonderful piece of jewelry that completes the image of a modern woman. An openwork crocheted shawl, for example, is a great addition to a coat. According to the scheme, such a product can be created in a few days, sitting in front of the TV.

This is a great option for "gift creation". Hats and berets for any season are knitted for people who are completely different in age and character. Such things are done literally in an evening or two, but the gift is remembered for a long time.

Considering the variety of ways to crochet the fabric, the craftswomen create unique practical products. Such a gift will be especially appreciated by a woman who regularly travels to the sea on vacation. On the beach, a knitted bag is very appropriate. It is a stylish accessory that can be used to stow away the many irreplaceable items that you need to have on hand while on vacation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An exclusive little thing does not take much time to make, but it looks original. You can decorate it depending on the characteristics of the person to whom such a gift is intended and taking into account the shape of a particular phone. You also need to make sure that the case is comfortable to use.

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;
• how to dry them properly.
