Share This List of Crochet Gift Ideas

If you’re a crocheter, send this list to your friends and family to provide some not-so-subtle “inspiration” for their purchases. 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.

Small and Useful Items for Stocking Stuffers

While I tried to focus on some unique gifts for people who love to crochet, there are many utilitarian items crocheters can often use more of.

Many of these type of gifts are also small and perfect for stocking stuffers. If you want to give the gift of something you know will get used possibly daily, you can’t go wrong with:

• cute and unique scissors
• stitch markers
• crochet notebook to keep track of stitches and ideas
• snag-free safety pins
• yarn needles (aka tapestry needles)
• fur pom poms to top hats
• pom-pom makers in different sizes

Best Place to Buy Gifts For Crocheters

When you’re shopping for gifts for people who crochet, there are many places to look for the perfect item. Of course, you can find a ton of gift ideas for crocheters on Amazon (see my favorites here), but there are some other sources you may not have thought of.

• Etsy – here you’ll find some more unique gifts than you might find at your big box hobby store.
  
• Your local yarn store – just search “yarn store” in your maps app and you’ll find any shops nearby. These can be great for buying gorgeous high-end hanks of yarn, but also items like special buttons, project bags and sometimes things like locally-made yarn bowls.
  
• Larger chain stores like Michaels, Joann’s and Hobby Lobby.

What To Get Someone Who Crochets

Here are my favorite gifts for people who crochet. I hope you find a thing or two or five to love on this list.

Jewelry Gifts for Crocheters

If you’re someone who enjoys wearing jewelry and crocheting, these wearable gift ideas for crocheters will be right up your alley!

Crochet Themed Shirts + Sweatshirts

If you’d like a gift idea for a crocheter that requires zero knowledge of the craft or required supplies, a wearable crochet-themed item might be perfect. Here are a few of my favorites.

Project Bags + Hook Organizers

In my experience, crocheters love tote bags, project bags and anything that lets us haul more yarn around! Project bags and hook organizers can be a fun gift idea for crocheters that also serves as a stylish accessory.

Books About Crochet

Why recommend books as a gift idea for crocheters when we have so many patterns and tutorials online?

While we can find so many beautiful crochet stitches and free crochet patterns online, sometimes there’s no replacement for a book. These books are some of my personal favorites and offer something above and beyond what is typically available through free tutorials on the internet. Shop all my favorite crochet books here.

Practical Gifts Crocheters Might Not Buy Themselves

In my experience, crocheters are quite a resourceful bunch. But as a result, we often make do without some of the nice-to-have supplies that make our projects or our lives so much easier. These aren’t the most glamorous gift ideas for crocheters on this list, but they just might get the most use!

Personalized Project Tags

Nothing quite elevates the look of a handmade knit or crochet project more than a personalized project tag. Etsy is full of fantastic options that makers love. Here are a few of my favorites that can work well to add a finishing touch to hats, sweaters, cowls, mittens and many other types of crochet projects.

Enamel Pins for Crocheters

Enamel pins are a gift idea for crocheters that can be funny, adorable or a nice mix of both. Often crocheters love to add enamel pins to their project bags to show off a bit of personalized pride for the hobby.

Handy Gadgets Gifts for Crocheters

Crochet is quite an analog hobby, but that doesn’t mean a gadget or two can’t come in handy sometimes. These tools all make great gift ideas for crocheters because they make the process of doing what we love just a little bit easier.

Gifts Every Crocheter Needs

There are certain items crocheters can always use more of. If you’re buying a gift for someone who crochets, you will rarely go wrong with these easy ideas.

Gift Cards

While they’re not the most unique gift ideas, gift cards allow the ultimate freedom for the recipient. Crocheters do love to shop for yarn. And we often have personal preferences about fiber type and weight that outsiders might not understand.

A gift card can be a thoughtful gift that’s also hard to get “wrong.” Here are some places a crochet lover might like to receive a gift card to:

• A Local Yarn Shop – These shops tend to offer premium yarn, so this may feel like a really special gift. The cost of getting yarn for an entire project might be a bit higher, so you may want to factor that into the gift card amount.

• LionBrand.com – Lion Brand offers a nice mix of economy and affordable higher end yarns. They also collaborate with independent designers to sell crochet kits. A gift card allows a crocheter to choose any crochet or knit kit they fall in love with. (See all the Make & Do Crew kits here!)

• KnitPicks.com – Knit Picks can be a really good place to look for high quality knit and crochet accessories like wooden knitting needles, crochet hooks and cute cases to carry them in.

Yarn

Well, this one is a bit of a no-brainer, isn’t it? Yarn can be a great gift idea IF you know what type the recipient wants. If you’re not sure, go with a gift card. It’s not super helpful for us crocheters or knitters to receive a couple beautiful, but random, skeins of yarn. Yes, of course, it’s fun, but it’s not always easy to find a use for that one pretty ball of yarn.

Instead, your more of your loved one’s go-to favorite yarn can be one of the best gift ideas. It shows you care and that you’re paying attention.
