23 Cozy and Thoughtful Gifts for Knitters They're Sure to Love

Getting someone a thoughtful gift that's related to their hobby is almost always a great idea, but it can get complicated. You might know that they like music or traveling or crafting, but you might not know enough about their hobby to really get them the perfect gift. That's why we tapped some knitters for firsthand insight on what gifts knitters actually want for the holidays this year. We've rounded up some of the best gifts for knitters of all ages, from specific needle kits to storage solutions and more.

Marissa Likar, writer and creator for Stitch Clinic, an online resource for knitting and sewing, has some ideas about what to consider when buying a gift for your knitter. She suggests considering where they like to knit. "Do they sit at home and knit only? Or do they carry their projects with them at all times? I love the idea of yarn bowls but I usually have my project with me wherever I go, so having a yarn bowl just doesn't work for me," she shares. Additionally, she says you should try to be aware of any sensitivities to types of yarn, noting that some people hate the feel of scratchy wool while others don't like cotton yarn. You might also consider if they like to knit year-round or just in the winter, as there are some yarns that are better for one season.
