If you have a loved one that is mad about crochet, or wants to learn to crochet, I’ve put together a list of my best gifts for crocheters! This list includes things that I, as a crocheter, would love to receive (in case my husband is reading!).
With so many people picking up their crochet hooks this year, there’s no better time to treat someone to a yarny and useful gift! I’ve received quite a few gifts over the years and I must say that the best crochet gifts are the practical ones that I just don’t get around to, or can’t afford to treat myself to.

How To Buy Gifts For People Who Crochet
Before getting to the list, there are a few things to consider to help you find the perfect yarn-lovers gift.
- Who is the gift for?
- How experienced a crocheter are they?
- What kind of things do they enjoy making?
- What are their favourite colours?
- Do you know what equipment they already have?
- Do you know what they’d like?
If you don’t really know much about their experience or preferences then don’t worry! There will definitely be something here that they will love. I’ve also made sure to cover all sorts of budgets so that you can really splurge for a treat, or just grab a stocking filler.
Best Gifts for Crocheters
For many of us, crochet is much more than a hobby. We love collecting new things to help us with our craft.
I guarantee that buying gifts for crochet lovers will always be a winner! If you're not sure what to get for them, here are some of the best crochet gift ideas.
Personalised Crochet Hooks
These bamboo crochet hooks are a lovely treat and you can get them personalised with your own message too! If you're not sure on sizes then I would go for something in the middle of the range like a 4mm/4.5mm/5mm/6mm as these are perhaps the most commonly used ones.
Crochet Stitch Markers
Every crocheter needs a set of stitch markers to help them keep track of where they're at and make sure they don't lose count! These simple, elegant markers will be appreciated by any crocheter.
Crochet Hook Roll
These stunning handmade fabric crochet hook rolls are both pretty and practical. Perfect to keep all your crochet hooks, scissors and bits and bobs safe and tidy. (I have lost so many hooks by not being organised with one of these!)
Needle Case - Handmade Wooden Needle Holder
Not only are needle holders great gift ideas for crocheters, but for any kind of crafter really! These ones are practical, beautiful and will be invaluable for anyone that has ends to sew in!
Canvas Yarn Project Bag
I find it so useful to keep crochet projects separated and organised in project bags. Yarn totes and bags are also fabulous for transporting your crochet when you are out and about.
These Ecobags made from recycled cotton make perfect crochet gifts for friends and I am sure they will have plenty of things to fill them with!
Or, if you fancy giving someone a real treat then for the crocheter that has everything why not splurge on a leather crochet project bag like this one?
Wooden Yarn Swift
If you're not a crocheter but are looking to buy gifts for the crocheter, you might wonder what on earth this is! I didn't know what they were for such a long time! It's called a yarn swift and it's for winding balls of yarn. They are such a great crochet tool to have (it's still on my list to get) so that you don't have to wind yarn by hand.
Maplewood Yarn Bowl
This beautiful yarn bowl will be cherished by anyone you get it for. They are amazing for keeping your yarn in check and stopping you from getting in a tangle. I also wouldn't worry about getting it as a gift if you think they already have one, the more the merrier I say because often it's helpful to have more than one!
Stitches Swatch Gauge
If you've ever wondered how crocheters and knitters make sure their projects are going to turn out the right size then this is the secret! Making a small gauge swatch and measuring it with one of these clever little wooden stitch rulers is key to success. If you’re looking for easy crochet gift ideas, any crocheter will love you to get one for them!
Yarnaholic Enamel Pin
These cute little pins are the perfect little stocking filler in case you don't have the confidence to buy something tool or yarn related. They are cute, fun and will be cherished by any crocheter.
Crocheter Hoodie
This fabulous crochet hoodie by StitcherTees makes a great gift for crocheters. get for someone who loves crochet! Most crocheters love to advertise the fact that they crochet and would be proud to wear this! They come in a range of sizes and unisex styles with lots of other wording available too.
Making with Meaning Crochet Book
There are so many fantastic crochet books out there that would make easy crochet gift ideas, but this one by Jess Carey is such a great option for a number of reasons. It is brand new, so people aren't likely to have it yet. It also contains crochet patterns for anyone from beginner upwards and it's really modern and fresh. A perfect combination!
PDF Crochet Patterns
If you're looking for something that you don't need to post this year then downloadable PDF pattterns are just the thing! I have lots in my store to choose from and there are so many other amazing designers that have literally thousands of beautifully formatted crochet patterns waiting for you.
Crochet Blanket Kit and Pattern
When it comes to crochet yarn kits, they are always a winner as gifts for crocheters. I'd recommend going for a blanket kit like this one as it means it will have plenty of yarn in it. Then if the person you are getting it for doesn't fancy making the actual pattern in the kit then they can just add the yarn to their stash instead!
Etsy Gift Cards
Etsy is a treasure trove of crochet gift ideas. If you're not sure what to get, then a gift card is a brilliant option! From patterns to hooks, and bags to yarn, you can literally find anything you need to enjoy crochet there and support independent businesses too.
Luxury Limited Edition Crochet Hook
For the ultimate crochet gift and treat that will please everyone, go for a really luxurious limited edition crochet hook. These crochet hooks are few and far between, are absolutely beautiful to look at (and crochet with of course!) and will be a real statement piece in anyone’s collection.
So there we have it, 15 of the best gifts for the crocheter. It is pretty much my own wish list that I’m going to send to Father Christmas this year too!
