Are you panicked yet? No? Good for you, that means that you are organized and well self managed. Yes? Welcome to the real world of crafting!
If you desperately need a hand knit gift and only have an evening to pull it off, here are a couple of my free patterns that can be made in that time.
First off is my Simple Shawl. Knit on big needles with bulky yarn, you can whip this one up in four hours or less. It only uses 150m of a fancy yarn to create a shawl that highlights the yarn and is soft and squishy. It is an ideal way to use up a special, I only have two skeins, of something pretty. Block it aggressively when you are done.
My next suggestion, if you have even less time, is my Quick and Easy Garter Stitch Cowl. Again, relying on big needles and big or fancy yarn, this is an easy two hour project. I have doubled or tripled contrasting colours and textures to create my own bulky yarn for this one many times making a special, one of a kind, piece to keep your neck warm.
Okay, I have given you a couple of ideas, now dig through that stash and get busy, time is a wasting!
I wish you all the best for the holiday season no matter who and how you celebrate. Kindness is the greatest gift of all so please give freely
I love this shawl! I have made so many for loved ones. Thank you .
