Accessories
You can’t go wrong with simple handmade accessories. These are great gifts that show you care, and the recipient will think of you every time they wear them. The projects I’ve picked out below also don’t require tonnes of yarn, so you may even be able to make these with materials from your stash.

Elise Infinity Scarf by The Stitchin’ Mommy
Shell Stitch Slippers by Crochet Dreamz

For Men
Though it can be hard to think of gifts for the men in your life, dads and husbands are easily pleased with handmade basics. Hats, scarves and mittens are always a hit, and you can customise these projects with their favourite colours. Most of the patterns I found used grey but don’t be afraid to switch it up!
