12 Weeks of Christmas: Designs to Inspire Holiday Gifting

It’s still September and Christmas might seem so far away, but the next three months will [unfortunately for the procrasti-crafter] fly by! So many projects we are eager to begin making for friends and family.

The designs below are here to help contribute toward your start-itis*. They are arranged by the largest (top of the list) more time consuming projects and move to smaller faster projects at the bottom.

These 12 kits were created by some of our favorite bloggers. You will notice that all but one pattern is crocheted. The type of design was left to the discretion of the designer. However, knitters don’t worry! There is another collection that will be launched shortly featuring a number of knit designs.

*Start-itis — When you begin a number of craft projects before finishing any current WIPs.
