Gifts for Crocheters

Looking for a gift for someone who enjoys crochet? Or are you a crocheter and you want to drop a few subtle hints about what you would like as a gift?

Here are some ideas for crochet related gifts.

Luxury Crochet Hooks

These hardwood crochet hooks are beautifully made. A pleasure to work with and embellished with a freshwater pearl. Choose darker coloured hooks for use with lighter yarns and vice versa. Available from purlescence.co.uk.

Luxury Crochet Yarns

A skein or two of a real luxury yarn makes an ideal present for any crocheter. Look for yarns with 40% or more of the luxury fibre. Luxury fibres include silk, alpaca, camel and cashmere. A merino wool / luxury fibre blend is often a good choice.

Hand dyed yarn makes a nice treat too. Try to pick a shade that the crocheter tends to wear.

How about some CashSilk lace weight yarn? Ideal for finer crochet, it's 55% silk, 35% cashmere with a lovely luster and comes in a great range of colours.

Wraps per Inch Tool

This handy little tool makes it easier to compare yarns when making yarn substitutions. It is a great crochet gift because it allows the crocheter to select suitable yarns from the many fabulous 'knitting' yarns that are available.

Crochet Books

'Crochet So Fine' is both a beautiful coffee table book full of inspiring images and a fine collection of stunning but wearable fashion items. Full book review of Crochet So Fine.

Crochet Magazine Subscription

A year's subscription to Inside Crochet magazine would make a great gift for any keen crocheter. It's a UK crochet magazine that features original designs.

I especially like the fact that it has some lovely wearable garments in it, not just accessories or whimsical item.

Crochet Jewelry Kits

Crochet bracelet kits from the Crazy Wire Company are fun gifts for crocheters.

They are available in a wide choice of colours and they aren't expensive, so you could buy a selection of colours.

The kits contain the wire, semi-precious stone chips and full illustrated instructions. Just add a crochet hook!
