Ive gathered nine patterns here that are great for holiday knitting, birthday knitting, or just random act of kindness knitting. I hope you enjoy them! Eunny Jangs Cabled Globe Ornament is the perfect stocking stuffer for everyone on your gift list. Knit several to decorate a single tree, and try using a metallic yarn for a really special result! Kristen TenDykes Chevron Market Bag uses a dense lace motif of interconnecting points and chevrons to create a fabric that stretches but retains strength. Give this bag along with some tokens from your local farmers market for a gift that will keep on giving! Laura Rintalas Winter Twilight Mitts were inspired by a purple overcast sky showing through the black silhouettes of winter trees as she walked along the trail one winter afternoon. The luxurious cashmere yarn is a joy to knit with and a delight to wear. Simona Merchant-Dests Fair Isle hat is a thing of beauty. The colorwork will thrill whomever receives this thoughtful gift. As a bonus to the knitter, the Slouch Hat will teach you how to work Fair Isle patterns seamlessly without a visible jog between rounds.
The Two-Color Hat by Andrea Wong made its debut on Knitting Daily TV, where Andrea used it to demonstrate two-color knitting in the Peruvian style. To learn more about the Portugese style of knitting, check out Andrea in action! And not to worry, the Two-Color hat can also be knit in the traditional strandedcolorwork style.
Louisa Hardings Juliet Scarf is light and airy, knitted in a soft, luxurious angora blend. A rosette brooch adds a feminine touch while holding the scarf in place. The perfect length to tuck inside a collar, this floaty lace piece makes a beautiful knit gift for a special woman in your life. The Nerina Ruched and Ruffled Scarf by Kristin Omdahl is cinched with a pair of satin cord drawstrings that are tied with double uni-knots. Tie it loosely around your shoulders for a little capelet, tighten the drawstrings a bit for soft ruffles, or cinch them all the way for a heavily ruffled collar or cowl. This versatile gift will be worn for years. Socks are a wonderful gift, and the Honeycomb Socks by Katie Himmelberg are lovely. Katie chose the traditional Aran honeycomb pattern for its simplicity and geometric appearance. Changing the main pattern stitches from knit stitches to purl stitches makes the hexagons stand out even more. What collection of knitted gifts would be complete without something for a little one? Lisa Shroyer got the idea for her Nordic Striped Ball from Vibeke Linds Knitting in the Nordic Tradition (Sterling, 1998). This project will become a treasured plaything. Have fun knitting every stitch of these knit gifts! Cheers,

TIPS & TRICKS
Change to double-pointed needles when there are too few stitches to fit comfortably around the circular needle. Carry unused colors along the wrong side of hat until they are needed again, twisting them together with the working color every other round to prevent long floats from forming. After the increase round, place markers after every 16 (17, 18, 19)th stitch to isolate the Fair Isle chart repeat for your size. These markers are slipped every round and remain in place to define the pattern, independent of how the end-of-round marker moves for the "jogless jog" technique.
152 of the chart for your size, working the chart 8 times total in each rnd8 sts rem for all sizes after completing Rnd 52.
FINISHING
Cut yarn, leaving a 10 (25.5 cm) tail. Thread MC tail on a tapestry needle, draw through all rem sts, pull tight to close hole, and secure on WS. Weave in loose ends.
MAKE IT YOURS
Depending on your size, copy the chart pattern that repeats over 16, 17, 18, or 19 stitches onto graph paper and draw in your own colorwork design. To prevent long floats, do not work more than five stitches of the same color at a time and do not work more than two or three stitches at the end of the chart in the same color. To see how your pattern will appear when repeated across a row, make a few photocopies of the chart and align them side by side, then make any desired adjustments to the chart before you start knitting.
by Simona Merchant-Dest This Fair Isle hat will teach you how to work Fair Isle patterns seamlessly without a visible jog between rounds. There are a number of ways to achieve thisin this case, the beginning of the round shifts one stitch to the left every round. When working from a charted pattern, the challenge of this technique is to keep the pattern correctly aligned throughout the piece. Once youve learned this technique, you can apply it to all of your seamless knitting.

ROUND2: Beginning with the second stitch of the chart, work Round2
Figure 1 For the first 6 rounds, there is an uncorrected jog at the beginning of the round. For the remaining rounds, the jog is obscured by moving the first stitch of the round to right one stitch every round.
to the end-of round marker, slip this marker, work the first stitch of Round2, remove the color-change marker, slip the next stitch purlwise, return the color-change marker to the needle.
ROUND3: Beginning with the third stitch of the chart, work Round3 to the end-of-round marker, slip this marker, work the first two
stitches of Round3, remove the color-change marker, slip the next stitch, return the color-change marker to the needle. Continue in this manner, always beginning the chart one stitch to the left, working to the end-of-round marker, working the next batch of stitches according to the stitches of the chart that havent been worked yet to the color-change marker, temporarily removing the color-change marker, slipping the next stitch purlwise, then replacing the color-change marker. If its important to keep track of where the round originally began, use a separate color-change marker to keep track of the shifting chart pattern. You might find it helpful to make a color photocopy of the chart and use a highlighter to track the progression of the color-change marker as it travels one stitch to the left each round.

his hat is designed to be knit in the Portuguese style, which T tensions yarn by running it through a pin attached to the knitters shoulder, or simply by putting the working yarn around ones neck. Purling is very easy in the Portuguese style, so the Two-Color Hat pattern directs you to knit the hat inside-out, purling instead of knitting. If you want to knit this in the traditional stranded-color style, just knit the two rows after you finish the ribbing (instead of purling them) and youll be on the right track.

Ideas for Knitting Gifts: 9 Free Patterns for Knitted Gifts to Make
The rippling texture in this two-row pattern is beautiful when at but pops into luxurious rufes when cinched with the drawstrings. The short-rows may be a bit of challenge at the beginning, but youll enjoy watching the rufes emerge from the technique.
Double Uni-Knot
The double uni-knot, used for tying ies, is surprisingly easy to make. One of the best features is that you can cut the tails right next to the knot. Lay the two strands parallel to each other on a flat surface. Bring the tail of the lower strand back on itself to make a loop, then cross it over the upper strand (Figure 1) . Wrap the short end around both strands three times, bringing it to through to the front of the loop on the third wrap (Figure 2) . Pull on both ends of this strand to tighten the knot (Figure 3) . Wrap the upper strand in the same manner (Figure 4) , then tighten both ends (Figure 5) .

eastern Cast-On Hold two dpn parallel to each other. Leaving a 6 (15 cm) tail, wrap the working yarn around both needles counterclockwise (Figure 1) half as Figure 1 many times as the number of stitches you want. For example, if you want to cast on 12 stitches, wrap the yarn around the two needles six times. To begin, bring the yarn forward Figure 2 between the two needles and use a third needle to knit across the wraps on the top needle (Figure 2). Rotate Figure 3 the two needles so that the needle that had been on the bottom is now on the top; use the free needle to knit across the wraps on that needle (Figure 3).
Yarnover backward Usually, yos on the purl side are worked by bringing the yarn from the front over the top of the needle to the back, then under the needle to front again (Figure 1). In working a short-row heel, Figure 1 yos are worked in the opposite direction. Bring yarn under needle to back, then over needle to front again, and continue purling row (Figure 2). Figure 2 Ssp Decrease Holding yarn in front, slip two stitches knitwise one at a time onto right needle (Figure 1). Slip them back onto left needle and purl the two stitches together through back loops (Figure 2).

Thread green onto tapestry needle and draw tail through rem sts. Pull tight to gather sts, knot red and green tails tog and secure to WS of ball. Second half of ball: Carefully remove crochet chain and place live sts onto cir needle. Because of the nature of the original CO and alternating colors, and the offset of sts when reversing direction, there will only be 60 live sts on needle1 st per 2 st stripe; colors alternate as foll: 1 st green, 1 st red.

Pm and join in the rnd. Work 5 rnds in established stripe patt. Shape ball: Work as for first half of ball, beg with Dec Rnd 1. As hole beg to shrink, stuff ball with polyfill. Stuff heartily, putting more stuffing in than seems necessary and shaping ball as you go. After Dec Rnd 7, stuff hole to the top and push stuffing down so you can work the last rnds. Finish as for first half, sinking tails into ball.
