Gifts to Buy: The Perfect Gift for Your Friend Who...

1

Embroiders

+ Natural Mesh Bag 

+ Yarn Snips 

+ Tapestry Needle 

 

Did you know our Natural Mesh Bag is the ideal material for cross stitch? Gift this set to your creative embroidery friend so they can personalize and customize their own bag. Or if YOU love embroidery, this would also make a great finished gift. Side note: our Tapestry Needles have a bent end, making it easier and more efficient to get the tip of the needle to move in and out of the mesh material.

Organizes

+ Project Portfolio

+ Accessory Roll

 

The perfect gift for your friend who loves to organize: the Project Portfolio and Accessory Roll. Both are made out of durable and washable kraft paper and have the most delightful design to keep everything tidy. ⁠We have a couple of videos so you can see these clever tools in-action...both items come with three additional elastics so you can personalize the color of the band. Learn how to do that with our tutorials "How to Change the Elastic on your Cocoknits Project Portfolio" and "How to Change the Elastic on Your Accessory Roll." Learn how to utilize your organizers to their full potential with these two tutorials "How to fill your Cocoknits Project Portfolio" and "How to fill Your Accessory Roll with All the Things."

Sews

+ Four Corner Bag

+ Leather Handle Kit

+ Maker's Keep

+ T-Pins

+ Tapestry Needles

 

Our sewist friends sure understand the need to keep little items in order, and that's why the Maker's Keep is the perfect gift for them. It's magnetic so it conveniently holds all small metal or steel items on your wrist including needles, pins, and small scissors. Store accessories in the Four Corner Bag or keep your WIP in there for easy transport.

Knits

+ Flight of Stitch Markers

 

Why have one when you could have them all? Our Flight of Stitch Markers is an adorable sampling of 5 different markers, packaged in the most gift-worthy kraft box. It's a great way for knitters of any experience level to explore new stitch marker shapes and styles. And as any knitter knows, you can never have too many stitch markers. 

Gifts to Make in Time for the Holidays:

It's not just a bulky cardigan, it's a super bulky cardigan! Amy is worked on size US 17 needles and with fewer than 2 sts per inch you'll have this adorable sweater done in no time. Who said you couldn't finish a garment in a week?

Knitted Four Corner Bags

Say hello to our newest pattern release from our Accessory Collection: the Knitted Four Corner Bags! This is the knit version of our FOUR CORNER BAG and includes instructions for two sizes with three different stitch variations. We won't be surprised if you fall in love and want to knit one of each. Julie designed this pattern because she loves net bags for carrying produce, take-out boxes, and yarn - she always keeps one handy. Knit with the strong Habu Textiles yarn, these are the perfect sturdy alternative to one-use bags.

Felted Pods

There's nothing we appreciate more once winter hits than having fresh plants around the home. We think your friends and loved ones will also appreciate the gift of a handmade felted pod filled with a succulent, air-plant, or other mini plant. You can make them as is and sit them on a table, make a vertical garden, or add our Leather Handle Kit to hang them. Whatever you do, this pattern is a great way to use up spare yarn, and it's a real quick knit!
