Quick-to-Knit Gifts

Hats are my favorite "go to" projects when I need a fast gift. Make a beanie in as little as 2 hours. All you need is a size 11 and 15 - 16" circular needles, size 11, 13 or 15 dpns, just one skein of yarn and one of our free patterns! Try some of these favorites:

Malabrigo Rasta - $23.95 - 100% hand-dyed wool
Colinette Point Five - $27.00 - 100% hand-dyed wool
Malabrigo Gruesa - $13.95 - 100% hand-dyed wool
Malabrigo Aquarella - $15.95 - 100% hand-dyed wool


If you have a little more time, you can do a hat in a smaller gauge yarn, such as the ever-so-soft Malabrigo Worsted or Chunky. Size 9 or 10.5 needle, respectively.

One-skein scarves also knit up quickly. Here are some of our hot sellers (all with a free pattern!):
Malabrigo worsted basketweave scarf using a size 11 needle - $12.95
Misti's 100% Baby Alpaca Chunky ruffled edge slip stitch rib - size 15 needle. $25.95 for handpaint, $17.50 for solid. So soft!

Fingerless Mittens are all the rage! Also a great one-skein project. Come see our samples in either Baby Alpaca Grande (size 10 double-points) - $15.50, or Malabrigo's Silky Merino (size 7 or 8 dpns) - $11.95
Also, there's this great pattern available on Knitty.com: http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTfetching.html

Another idea is from the Knitting Pure and Simple website. By the way, we have the Rowan Biggie Print they've used on sale right now! $11.95/ball: http://knittingpureandsimple.com/bigmitten.html
