The holiday season is officially upon us! If there is one thing I love about the holidays it’s finding the perfect gift for friends and family, and if it’s homemade, even better! I always try to make at least one homemade gift every year, not only is it cost effective, it’s fun to really personalize what you are giving someone. In years past I have made homemade soaps, candles, bath products, candies, and more! When it came to picking this years project I knew there was only one answer, crochet! I have really found such a love for all things crochet this past year so I knew I wanted to share that love with my friends and family!
Not only is yarn cheap and easy to come by, it’s so fun to work with and there are SO many different crochet holiday gifts that you can make. I knew I wanted to find projects that worked up quickly, and would be useful to my friends and family so off to search I went. While searching I knew I wanted to share some of my favorites with you, so let’s check them out shall we?

My mom loves to crochet so will be sure to show her this and it will give her some new ideas for holiday gifts and stocking stuffers.
Crochet baskets are great for storage in our RV. They are very lightweight so you can easily hang them. When they are not in use, they take up very little space.
what a great idea. Thank you for sharing that!
I’m not very good at crocheting anything, have tried many times and my fingers get soar real quick. But I do love your ideas and suggestions here. Love that little basket.
