So this year I thought I would put together a collection of patterns that would make great gifts for all - plus, they are super simple to make, are great stash busters, and FREE!

Nice ideas and video but I disagree that socks are “quick” for most people I knit with. Love your sweater!

[@svenjaknits]

Haha, I appreciate your opinion as I went back and forth on whether to include socks in this collection or not. Thanks for watching!

[@michellelaird8234]

Those little sweaters and stockings are adorable! So many great ideas here! Thank you so much!

[@maryschartner4428]

I love your new backdrop. Very chic👍🏻

[@svenjaknits]

Hehe, it's just a blank wall but I'm glad you liked it!

[@stamdl]

Oh wow - what a great collection of gift ideas. Thank you so much! I bought a bunch of DK yarn to make little stockings years ago, now I can add little sweaters. ❤

[@svenjaknits]

You can make matching sets!

[@bethskis]

What knit are you wearing…I must say you look STUNNING in it!

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you kindly!! It's the Sweater No.11 by My Favorite Things Knitwear.

[@catherinethomes2910]

Fantastic ideas!!!❤ I saved this to watch again!

[@svenjaknits]

Glad you liked it!!

[@annmorris6732]

Thank you so much…such great ideas! What a festive vibe for this viewing. I always appreciate the variety you find and a few free ones in the bundles. #2 son’s birthday is December 4th and I was going through stash and watching and the ‘hubby’ hat looks perfect for the gift. Now to knit and mail to Pittsburgh!! I also had a request for headbands for my granddaughter as she often wears pigtails…..voila, the Frida appeared. I may be up late. 😂 Thank you again for your time to make the podcast but also for all the ‘homework’ beforehand. Grateful! ❤

[@svenjaknits]

I'm so glad you found some ideas to knit for your family! Thanks for watching and leaving some great feedback!

[@jatraveler1277]

Thank you, lots of good ideas. Hat patterns and mittens... so many choices. Thanks for your input.

[@svenjaknits]

You are so welcome!

[@knitgirl.7676]

Great inspiration. I am currently knitting the arched gusset mittens by Purl Soho and I love them. The 2X2 and the classic ribbed hats are my go-to gift hats. Everyone loves them and they fit everyone! I will have to check out the little sweaters. So adorable!

[@svenjaknits]

Aren't those mittens the best?? I hope you have some time to make a little sweater, they are so fun to make!!

[@marysheridan7104]

Thanks so much for these Holiday gift ideas! Can’t wait to try most of them! Especially Love the “mini” ornaments!

[@svenjaknits]

So glad you like them!

[@lulumcd8068]

Thanks so much for the little sweater pattern. Adorable and a great gift idea! Happy holidays.

[@svenjaknits]

You are welcome! Happy holidays!

[@karineberhart2496]

Thanks for the great ideas! Last year, I made a few of the mini stocking ornaments to put gift cards in. They are the perfect size.

[@svenjaknits]

That's a great idea to put a gift card in a mini sweater! Thanks for sharing :)

[@petrapeine2177]

Thank you so much for all the different patterns. These are all very nice.

[@svenjaknits]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@TheonaYates-qz6hr]

Once again thank you for an informative video filled with ideas. I will definitely have a look and try your little sweaters to use as a garland for Christmas.

[@svenjaknits]

You are welcome! Happy holiday knitting!

[@janetkemper9177]

Some great gift ideas! One of my favorite gift knits is the simple house slippers by Temple of knit. I loved your holiday knit video last year, and watched it over and over. I think this one will be the same.

[@svenjaknits]

I will have to check out that slipper pattern! Thanks for sharing!

[@margaretstewart1547]

The 2x2 hat is awesome! I’m doing that one for the men in my family this year ❤

[@svenjaknits]

It’s the perfect men’s hat!!

[@kendrawheeler314]

I just knit the Scrappy Cowl and it was such a lovely pattern!

[@svenjaknits]

Ooh, what yarn/yarns did you use!?

[@debrizzo7031]

Your sweater ornaments are so cute! Thank you ❤

[@svenjaknits]

Glad you like them!
