Quick Gifts in an Evening: 12 Knitting & Crochet Patterns - A4

Twelve handmade gifts you can finish in one or two evenings, so a handmade present is still possible in mid-December.

Hats, a twist headband, fingerless mitts and gloves, boot cuffs, a baby bonnet, and gifts for the home: coasters, a rope basket and a dishcloth. Most use a single ball of yarn, and the home patterns are good for using up leftovers.

Every pattern includes:

• A full-colour photo
• Yarn, needles or hook, sizes, gauge and yarn amounts
• A "Do the math" table, so you can make it in any size or yarn weight
• Step-by-step instructions, finishing and designer's notes
• A tick-box tally strip for counting rows and repeats

The patterns: Everyday Ribbed-Brim Beanie, Top-Down Half Double Beanie, Messy Bun Beanie, Flat-Knit Colourblock Pom Hat, Twist-Front Headband, Seamed Rib Fingerless Mitts, Ribbed Fingerless Gloves, Puff-Top Boot Cuffs, Baby Garter Bonnet, Round Cotton Coasters, T-Shirt Yarn Round Basket and Diagonal Garter Dishcloth.

Also inside: a gift planner (who's getting what, start-by dates, made and wrapped boxes), a page for the sizes you need to find out quietly, a "how these patterns work" guide and abbreviations.
