Gift for a crocheter?

[Bestseller]

It's secret Santa and I've drawnsomeone who pretty much the only thing I know about her is she crochets, recently taught herself. Is there a £15 Gift that would be prefect ?

I need to know this for my mum!

I bought some lovely crochet stitch markers from ebay for my cousin.

When I was learning crochet I bought a book on different edgings. I know it doesn’t seem exciting to most but I loved it and practiced different edges on different blankets.

You could get this and the some wool or patterns dependent on her taste (blankets, soft toys, tablecloths etc).

Crochet hooks are hit and miss as I prefer a certain style to hold...she may or may not do though so you could get a chunky hook set?

Yarn Bowl, project bag for carrying your crochet around, crochet pattern book, nice hooks and yarn.

A lovely project bag (lots of Etsy)
Addi Swing crochet hooks
A lovely skein or two of hand dyed yarn
£15 of nice yarn - drops merino is nice (£3.10) per ball
A yarn bowl
Stitch markers
A crochet pattern book (Jan Eaton's 200 blocks is lovely)

Stitch markers, row counters, small scissors, blunt needle as a handy set.
Fancy stitch markers
Yarn ball winder

How about a Toft kit, I don't crochet but have admired them at shows and they assured me they were easy

I wouldn't buy crochet hooks. Everyone has their favourite and it's so peronsal.

I'd get some stitch markers or some nice scissors.

Or maybe one of their books

Some of my favourite crochet accessories are clover knitting counter mini kacha-kacha, Clover Yarn Cutter Pendant , and hiya hiya puppy snips. Clover amour crochet hook size 3.5 mm or 4 mm or knit pro locking stitch markers. These are all available from amazon. Could also get some crochet diva stitch markers.

Aww love those toft kits! Expensive though for a pattern but I bet they look so nice!

Depending on if she's geeky too you can get crochet kits for different doll sets - crochet your own Star Wars characters etc. It's a book, the wool and everything you need and I picked one up in the book section of Tesco for £12.

I'd avoid hooks too, I hate the Addi Swing mentioned above for example. Yarn bowl is a great suggestion, I saw some nice wooden ones linked somewhere recently. Extra project bags are always useful, as are small scissors.

The Works do cheap crochet books. Do you know if she makes toys?
Maybe a nice selection of wool? B and M do some really glittery ones which ive seen many other hookers use

Im sure aldi have mickey/mini amigurumi kits and also crochet ornament kits at the moment

@TheWeasleyTwins The Mickey/Minnie Amigurumi kits sound awesome. Going to try and hunt some down myself!

If she appreciates good wool blends (not acrylic) then a ball of a nice blend or pure wool would be lovely. But if she’s starting off she might not have discovered the difference.

A voucher for a wool shop is definitely something that I would love!

Another vote for a yarn bowl - they are very stylish . Flying tiger have them sometimes or you can get them on Etsy

I bought the MIL a lovely yarn bowl from Etsy a couple of years back. She uses it daily.

A wool shop voucher would be a good idea. I'd rather not be given balls of wool as the chances of it being the right amount for a project are slim, also actual wool makes me itch, I can crochet with it but not wear it.

The works and hobbycraft sell sets/books or you could make a hamper

A crochet hook roll - there are some pretty ones on Etsy.

This book is brilliant : www.amazon.co.uk/Animal-Friends-Pica-Pau-Characters/dp/9491643193/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ref=plSrch&keywords=Animals+of+pica+pau&dpPl=1&dpID=61wVqbbpWPL&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1543196373&sr=8-1

This one is nice too, The Works have it for £4 vs £9.99 at Amazon. www.theworks.co.uk/p/adult-colouring-books/cutest-crochet-creations/9786059192347

Definitely a project bag, keeps all her crafty items together, and makes it easier for her to transport it so she can work anywhere.
