From mittens to socks, we’ve got you covered!

10: Margareta Cowl by MillaMia

This super squishy cowl is bursting with texture using only knits and purls - a great beginner project that will knit up super fast in this kitten-soft super bulky yarn!

9: Braided Headband by The Morning Whisper

The perfect little stocking filler or sweet gift for a friend, this little cabled headband is not only a great introduction to learning how to cable, but we have a video to show you how to make it from start to finish, too! We have made this in chunky and super chunky yarn, it’s a great little project!

8: Cozy Slipper Socks by Debbie Bliss

Slipper socks are a gorgeous gift, and these are so easy to make because they are knitted flat and seamed, with no circular knitting to do, so they’re a great project for new knitters. Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky is a luxury yarn that is worth the treat to keep your toes (and anyone else’s toes) super cozy and warm.

7: Frosty Chunky Scarf by Paintbox Yarns

A chunky scarf makes a fabulous gift, and this one is knitted in Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky, making it a super affordable project. It is knitted in a 2x2 rib, and if you haven’t knitted that before, we’ve got a video for you to follow!

4: Anya Hat by Debbie Bliss

Super fast and so easy, the Anya hat is a great introduction to knitting in the round, if you haven’t tried it before.
