Share this list of awesome gifts for crocheters with your spouse or family to give them some not-so-subtle ideas about what you might like this year!Â
So that you can spend more time crocheting and less time list-making, this post contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Thanks for supporting Make & Do Crew!
I am terrible at coming up with ideas when people ask me what I want for Christmas. Even though I spend all year delaying purchases, saving them instead for my supposed Christmas list, when game time comes, I’m always left asking for boot socks and solid color shirts.
In case you have the same draw-a-blank syndrome when it comes to asking for presents you’d truly enjoy, I put together this list of my top gifts for crocheters to help you out. All of these items are either things I own and love or covet and have added to my own Christmas list. My hope is that you can just email this list straight over to the nearest elf in your family and set them to work on shopping for you. 😉 (Or perhaps you’re your own personal elf, in which case you can just start treating yourself this instant!)
2. An “I Love Crochet” Subscription – “I Love Crochet” is a digital magazine that publishes 6 pattern-packed issues each year. Each issue has so many great patterns that I’d love to make. If you’re looking for a gift that can be enjoyed year round, this is definitely it. I love that it’s digital too because then you can always go back and view patterns from past issues without having to actually hold onto the magazine. (You can see the super discounted Black Friday subscription prices here!)
3. Craftsy Classes – I’m a huge fan of Youtube, but sometimes I just want to spend time learning instead of wading through videos of teen girls applying makeup. That’s where Craftsy comes in. Their video courses are really nicely produced and taught by some of the rockstars of the craft industry. I’d love to take Tamara from Moogly’s course on the crocodile stitch or Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby’s crochet cables course. A crochet course would make an inexpensive gift you can enjoy for a long time. (You always have access to the videos one you buy the course!)
8. Gleener Ultimate Fuzz Remover – There’s nothing worse than spending 60 hours on a project only to have the yarn pill on the first wearing. That’s where Gleener comes to the rescue. You can use it to remove annoying pilling from your knit and crochet items as well as your regular store-bought clothes. (Use the code MAKEANDDO10 for 10% through Dec 31, 2016!)
9. A Hook Organizer from Chetnanigans– This company is special to me because it’s both a mom and pop shop and I used to live near them in VA. If you’re like me and lose hooks faster than you can buy them, you need one of these nifty hook organizers!
10. Yarn – Did you think I was going to make a list of gifts for crocheters and leave off the most important supply!? Craftsy, Michael’s, Knit Picks and Joann’s are all having huge Black Friday sales this week, so if there’s some yarn you’ve had your eye on, send your little elf to go order it!
Alright, that’s my personal list of the best gifts for crocheters. Have I left anything off? I’d love to hear what you’re asking for this year–maybe you’ll give me some ideas!

January 18, 2017 at 9:37 pmYay! I actually bought two sets of these hooks because I tend to lose hooks and I never wanted to be without the perfect size. I hope you enjoy them!

December 1, 2017 at 7:17 amHey 🙂 Some Millennial insight here: The word bæ supposedly means poo in another language, so don’t use the a and e smooshed together like that. BAE and bae are acronyms that mean Before All Else. The only difference is that e being backwards and touching the a vs. written normally.
Cheers!

I do love those scissors you have! Mine are Fiskars brand HUGE scissors that I commandeered off of my lovely aunt. (Of course she doesn’t know that) one day, my crochet supplies will be totally stylish & worth more than $1 😂 thanksgor a great list!
