This Gift Guide for Crocheters will help you find that perfect gift for those who crochet in your life. Or perhaps you are the crocheter and want to send a few hints someone’s way or purchase a special gift for yourself.
Below you’ll find tips for where you might shop, a few helpful things to keep in mind when choosing that perfect gift, and the curated list of helpful options for all your gift-giving needs (think birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, Christmas, and even those just-because moments).
To make sure that you get just the perfect gift, let’s consider a few things first. Just like all people are not alike and prefer certain things over others, every crocheter’s preferences can be a bit unique to them. That said, there are many supplies and accessories any crocheter will love. Let’s take a look at a few of those considerations in this gift guide, though, so you can find that perfect gift.
Things to Consider:
- How long have they been crocheting? The needs and wants of a beginner crocheter can be different than those of an intermediate or advanced crocheter. By the very nature of any hobby, you tend to gather more supplies the longer you do it. If the recipient is a beginner, there are all sorts of options to explore. If they are more advanced, think more along the lines of something extra special, like luxury yarn or specialty tools.
- Are they allergic to anything? If you know someone who is allergic to some metals, consider purchasing wooden or acrylic hooks and notions. If someone is allergic to certain animal fibers, stay away from things like wool, opting more for cotton or acrylic yarns.
- What are their current favorites? Do you know them well enough to know what brands or types (cotton, acrylic, wool, alpaca, mixed, etc) of yarn they use? Do they have a favorite color palette? Do they use a certain style or type of crochet hook that you could purchase in another size? Knowing this can help to choose something they’re sure to love. However, with all that said, sometimes it’s fun to experiment with things you’ve never tried before and play with new colors, so don’t be afraid to go outside their favorites.
- What do they enjoy making, or have they expressed that they would like to try making something specific? Here at Amanda Crochets, you’ll find a lot of baby blanket patterns as that’s what I enjoy making the most. However, I also enjoy making stuffed plushies and loveys. Getting a how-to book and/or the yarn to make a certain item would show them that you’ve been listening to their goals and desire to help them achieve them.
-
Have they already been hinting at what they want?
Sometimes we leave hints (even without realizing it) as to what could be useful. For example, have they said something like, “Man, it’s so tricky to try to wind this yarn into a ball?” If so, a yarn swift and/or yarn winder could be a great gift. Have they said something about how crocheting is hurting their hands? An ergonomic hook or stress relief gloves may be the perfect gift.
- Can you ask them? Sometimes you want things to be a total surprise, but other times it may be super helpful to just ask them what items they would be most interested in receiving. They can even make a list, and then you can pick the item from the list that you’d most like to give them. Honestly, sometimes getting exactly what you want is the best gift ever, and they’ll still remember that it was you who gifted it to them.
- What is your budget? You can spend a lot on tools and supplies, but you don’t have to. I promise that great crochet gifts can be found for any budget. And if you’re headed to the craft store (online or physical) make sure to check the store’s website or app for coupons and sales to save some additional money. Things don’t have to cost a lot to be special.
With all that in mind, let’s look at some options of items you can purchase.
Crochet Pattern Books
Sweet Snuggles Baby Blankets-I created this wonderful crochet pattern book for those who enjoy making baby blankets. In this book, you will find 20 crochet baby blankets to make for your little one or for an upcoming baby shower. Baby blankets are an ideal gift for any special little one in your life. They work up quickly and can become cherished heirlooms for many years to come.
Mama Made Minis Knotted Lovey Book-If you enjoy making loveys and snugglers, this is the book to get! Included are 16 patterns to create the most adorable snuggle companions for your little one.
Crochet Stitch Dictionary-I’ve talked about this book years ago, and I still stand by it. This is a great resource for anyone wanting to learn a new stitch. With picture tutorials, you will be able to follow along and learn something new in no time. You can then use your new skills to make your very own crochet project.
Yarn
Of course who wouldn’t love some yarn! Here are some of my favorites that I use often:
- Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn
- Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted
- Premier Anti-Pilling DK
- Premier Basix Chenille Brights
- Bernat Blanket
Crochet Tools and Accessories
Clover Amour Crochet Hooks-Another great suggestion for this gift guide for crocheters are crochet hooks. There are many crochet hooks on the market to suit everyone’s needs. However, I will stand by my tried and true favorites, the Clover Amour Crochet Hooks. These crochet hooks have ergonomic handles, which makes crocheting a breeze. You can often find me crocheting for hours without any hand or wrist pain. I can’t recommend these enough!
Crochet Hook Case-This case is ideal for storing all of your crochet hooks. Featuring mesh pockets and 19 elastic band slots, you will be able to fit most crochet hooks and knitting accessories, such as ergonomic hooks, bamboo handle crochet hooks, etc. You can even store extra stitch markers, tapestry needles, and even a tape measure, ensuring all your crochet tools are in one place. As a cat lover, I’m partial to this design, but there are others to choose from as well.
Project Bags-Every project needs a place to be stored, and likely carried from place to place. Unless you’re a dedicated one-project-at-a-time person (this will never be me, lol), you’ll benefit from having several project bags on hand. They can be as simple as a tote bag with handles to having multiple pockets with places to thread yarn through grommets and pockets to store extra supplies. Each style has its place, so this can be a fun item to shop for.
Other
Bob & Brad Hand Massager-If you’re someone like me who’s always typing on the computer, crocheting, or using their hands for various crafts, this is the hand massager for you! This hand massager features individual finger division for targeted relief, which effectively relieves hand fatigue, muscle tension, and boosting circulation. This hand massager is ideal for those with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or general stiffness. The hand compression massager features NTC precision temperature control, delivering safe and consistent heat on the palm & back of hand. This heating function effectively boosts circulation & alleviates coldness, numbness, and stiffness. The intelligent overheat prevention system ensures a warm, comfortable, and worry-free heating experience.
You also have three massage modes and three adjustable intensities to suit your needs. I recommend starting on the lowest settings to adjust. Be sure to remove any rings or wrist jewelry before using this massager. This also shuts down after 15 minutes to prevent overuse. This massager is compact and lightweight, and comes with a USB-C charging cable. If you’re looking for a little bit of self-care, this is the product for you!

Mug/Tumbler-I love drinking iced coffee or tea while crocheting, so having a cute yarn themed mug/tumbler is a must! Not only can you find a lot of cute options on Etsy, but you can also help support another small business owner as well.
And there you have it, a Gift Guide for Crocheters! I hope that you’ve been able to find the perfect gift for the crocheters in your life.
