5 Quick Tips For a Fun and Easy Crochet Gifts Season

1. Keep it simple. We often bite off more than we can chew, so make it easy on yourself this year. Instead of picking a pattern for each person, consider selecting 3-4 total patterns, thinking about one for the guys, one for the little ones, ect. This allows you to keep your pattern work to a realistic level, and scale back if needed. We also always have one or two quick Christmas crochet patterns on deck for last minute needs.

2. Make a list, check it twice. Once you have all your patterns and gift ideas in order, take inventory of what you have in your stash and what you need. Make one big trip for your yarn, notions, and needles to keep yourself from having to stop mid-project for an emergency supply run.

3. Make use of stations. Keep yourself from spreading over the entire house this year by setting up stations. Even if they are temporary, a dedicated crochet area, blocking area, ect., will help keep things in order.

4. Keep it all together. Whether your projects are simple or complex, you'll want to keep all your supplies together. Using bags or bins, put your pattern, yarn, and other supplies into one place for easy access.

5. That's a wrap. Remember those stations? Set up a staging area for your finished goods waiting to be wrapped up. Keep your tags, ribbon, and other package embellishments at this station so your handmade gifts get the final packaging they deserve.
