4. Ball Winder

Gifting a ball winder and a yarn swift to an advanced knitter will definitely be appreciated.

Buying skeins of yarn and turning them into cakes has never been easier with a ball winder and swift combination!

This is a game changer when you like to buy hand-dyed yarn.

• Knit Picks Ball Winder
• Knit Picks Yarn Swift

5. Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Set

If you or your knitter are serious about knitting, then having interchangeable needles is the most awesome thing ever!

I use mine ALL the time and having different-sized cables to swap with various-sized needles for different projects makes knitting so much easier.

You can get different sets from Knit Picks, from basic to deluxe with a range of different needle sizes.

• Knit Pro Symfonie Set
• Knit Picks Wood Interchangeable Set
• Lykke Driftwood Set
• Knitter‘s Pride Zing Deluxe Set

6. Awesome Knitting Needles

Knitters also love their tools and beginners will appreciate a good set of straight knitting needles.

Most advanced knitters will have a set of circular knitting needles also in their kit, but straight needles are a great place to start.

You could look for wood or bamboo needles in a range of sizes.

• Boye Bamboo Single Point Knitting Needle Set
• Knitter’s Pride Karbonz Straight Needle Set

7. Yarn 

Most knitters will prefer to choose their own balls of yarn, but super bulky yarn from Lion Brand or We Are Knitters is just so gorgeous and amazing that anyone will be happy with receiving a skein of this as a gift.

Soft and fluffy you can make a hat or a cowl from one skein and there is a whole range of colors to choose from.

This yarn is also an Instagram favorite, with knitters all over the world giving good reviews and showing off their makes and yarn stash.

If you are buying for a beginner then a bulkier yarn is great as it can create a fairly quick knit.

You could make an easy hat, a pair of mittens, or an oversized sweater.

New yarn will always be a great idea for a Christmas gift.

• Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick
• Rowan Big Wool
• Malabrigo Yarns

8. Knitting Book

This book 400 Knitting Stitches by Potter Craft will be welcomed by any knitter who wants to develop their skills and stitch knowledge.

I have one and when I take it to the knitting club – everyone wants to have a look through it!

This is truly a great present and an affordable gift that will be very useful for any knitter.

9. Handmade Stitch Markers

Stitch markers are always handy to have and are useful in many projects.

This set of pretty glittery stitch marker stars will make any knitter smile!

Get the set from Twill and Print on Etsy.

10. A Coffee Mug

Every knitter will most likely enjoy a coffee or tea while working on their knitting project. 

Relaxing with your latest WIP (work in progress), watching Netflix, and drinking a hot beverage is knitter heaven.

Getting something fancy to place on the coffee table next to their yarn and knitting books will be the perfect present.

Get them a mug they will love like this one from Twill and Print on Etsy.

11. A Handmade Project Bag

The Fringe Field Bag from Fringe Supply Co is probably the number one luxury gift item on any knitter’s wish list.

Available in a range of colors or in limited edition prints, these bags are designed for knitters, with special inline pockets for patterns, tools, and more.

Sneak a ball of yarn inside and your knitter friend will love you forever!

12. Makers Tools Pouch

Every maker needs a handy tools pouch to hold all of the essentials, like scissors, darning needles, stitch markers, tape measure, cable needles, and more.

I use mine every day and can’t take my knitting anywhere without it.

I hardly lose anything anymore because I know it will be in my maker’s tools pouch.

Made from 100% cotton from Love Crafts.

Love Crafts Project Bag.

13. A Notebook

Every knitter needs a notebook, to write down pattern notes, row counts, and more.

Some may prefer spiral-bound, but this fabric-covered notebook is just so pretty!

There are hundreds of notebooks out there, with plain, ruled or square pages – every knitter will be thankful for a fresh new notebook to start the year.

16. Pattern Holder

Another handy tool to have that makes knitting life a little easier is this pattern holder.
