1. Coasters
Mama in a Stitch begins our funky gift list with these charming coasters. Whip yourself up a batch and then make some time to do the same for your friend’s birthday or as a thank you to the next hostess in your life. Vary the colors and personalize them to your liking.
2. Alphabet Pillows
These alphabet pillows are a really cute addition to a dorm room or apartment as well. Create fun phrases or use the special someone’s name as inspo. Check it out at Lovelyish.
3. Storage Tote
This crocheted storage tote makes a wonderful addition to someone’s home but also as the gift holder itself. Use this to store multiple gifts and goodies. Check out the pattern and instruction by visiting our friends at My Poppet Makes.
4. Tiny Fox
All About Ami. made a tiny little fox that we’ve been swooning over. This is the perfect addition to a baby shower gift or as a special surprise for a new little one in your life. You could even make a set to play with for multiple kiddos.
5. Sunglasses Pouch
Fab Art DIY has a wonderful tutorial (with multiple design options) for a sunglasses pouch. What’s great about going this route is that your lenses won’t get scratched. The fabric is soft enough that it’s both stylish and functional.
6. Mug Rug
How adorable are these “mug rugs?” We’ve never seen them before but we’re in love with their charm and conversation appeal. Instead of boring coasters, why not mix up tea time a little bit? Grab the details at Crochet’N’Create.
7. Dish Cloths
Crochet.Life will show you how to whip up a set of dishcloths for your friends or family. It houses a free pattern and you can use all kinds of colors you’d like to create your collection. It’s a great housewarming or bridal shower addition as well.
8. Dino Hat
We found a pattern for all sorts of animal hats at A More Crafty Life but immediately fell in love with the dino design. You can snag the pattern on Etsy and start working on your own ASAP. This triceratops hat may just be our favorite!
9. Scarf
Scarves are classic crochet gift ideas and you really can’t go wrong by whipping one up for your friends or family. Delia Creates will show you all the moves you need to make one for you sis or best friend. We love this chunky, infinity style – it’s so versatile!
10. Cropped Sweater
If you want to try creating something for your bestie’s wardrobe – check out this super trendy cropped sweater. It’s got the 90’s vibes that everyone is loving right now too! Use the pattern available at For the Frills.
11. Lovebirds
Just like with those tiny foxes above, you can make some little lovebirds too. Perfect for kiddos or as a charming little gift for a newlywed couple to have inside the house, check out all the details for this one at Hello Yellow Yarn.
12. Chevron Blanket
Grow Creative knows that crocheted blankets are a fan favorite as well. You just can’t go wrong by gifting your people with one of these cuties. This chevron pattern is extra fun; perfect for birthday surprises!
13. Hanging Planter
Hanging planters are really on trend in the interior design world as well. They give off a beautiful, boho flair and make our plants look even better than they did on the windowsill. Make some of your own at Clover USA.
14. Rainbow Baskets
My Poppet Makes features our final gift idea on the list. Whip up some small, rainbow baskets for your friends or sib that has a craft room or home office. These beauties will help organize and add pops of color in the right places.
