I really enjoy crocheting. I find it a relaxing and soothing way to be creative. I have made a couple of blankets that I’ve always given away as gifts. And that’s one thing about a crochet lover; they love to give their projects away as gifts! I have received three blankets as gifts, and I treasure every one of them because I know how much effort has gone into making them.
On a side note, if you come to my house, please don’t start looking in my cupboards because you will find yarn stashed everywhere! When my husband gets in the mood to organize things around the house, I always wonder how long it will be until he finds a random stash. Trust me; it’s never a long time!
I hope you find the perfect crochet present within the following list of gift ideas.

I definitely have a yarn bowl on my want list! I love them as they are super useful, and they also look fantastic. If your crochet friend doesn’t like this as a gift, I don’t know what would make them happy! This is a great gift idea as your ball of yarn will stay put! Honestly, I found it hard to choose which one to display here because they are all so beautiful. I’ll add two different types and I’ll leave the tough decision up to you to decide on which one you get!
