Are you looking for a unique gift for the knitter in your life? I have been knitting for over 15 years now and many of my family members have attempted to get me knitting-related presents throughout my life. Some of them are more useful than others, so I thought I would share my top 7 picks if you’re shopping for a knitter.

Unique Gifts for Knitters
1. Brass Knitting Needle Gauge
A knitting needle gauge is a tool used to quickly identify the needle size of any knitting needle. It’s so useful and these small ones are easy to throw in a bag and bring with you everywhere. It’s one of those things that I feel like you can’t have too many of because they are also surprisingly easy to lose in your house.
This pink bag is so cute and it would be perfect for any knitter on the go. The front pocket has elastic pockets inside to hold knitting needles or crochet hooks. It’s also large enough to hold a sweater or blanket project (which can sometimes be a pain to carry around). I think it would be great for someone who likes to travel or KIP (Knit In Public) regularly.
Okay I have to admit, I am biased on this one. This listing is actually for one of my own creations – I sell these knitting ornaments over on my Etsy shop and they are a huge hit during the holidays. Each piece features a tiny scarf on a pair of knitting needles. I started making these for my own tree a few years ago and just decided to sell them this past year. 100% guaranteed to be made with love.
4. Madelinetosh Advent Calendar
This advent calendar is perfect for the luxury knitter in your life. It’s pricey, but it contains multiple skeins of luxury merino wool, knitting patterns, and luxe accessories. If you know someone who seems to have everything, this might make the perfect gift. Also, who doesn’t love an advent calendar?
5. Wool and the Gang Beanie Kit
If your loved one is more of a beginner knitter, this hat kit would make a thoughtful gift. It comes with everything you need to complete the project: the wool, a pattern, and knitting needles. Any of the Wool and the Gang kits would delight any knitter, if I’m being honest. A lot of these patterns are modern and fun.
6. Knit Picks Double Pointed Needle Set
Does the knitter in your life love to knit socks? In my opinion, this is the best sock needle set on the market. These needles are slick, fast, and they come in a variety of sizes. I have had my set for years and I have gotten a lot of use out of it.
7. Yarn Swift
If you don’t know what a yarn swift is, that’s totally fine. It’s not a common tool, but it is great for any knitter who enjoys knitting with wool. Wool typically comes wound in hanks and it needs to be wound into a ball before it is used for knitting. A yarn swift will hold your yarn so you can wind it into the desired shape.
