Lion Brand Notebook ®
Do you have some free time this summer? In our Christmas in July series, we’ll be rounding-up our favorite gifts to make and give, including ones you can get started on now. Trust us – you’ll be thanking yourself between holiday parties when you’ve got all your gifts blocked and wrapped.
Decorating your home for the holidays can be such a joyous occasion, especially when you’ve got your favorite tunes playing in the background. I hope you’re feeling ambitious because … not only can you knit or crochet gifts for your loved ones, but you can also knit or crochet items for your home as well!
Below, you’ll find a selection of patterns to warm up your home in time for holiday celebrations. Of course, these projects are also wonderful gifts on their own. In fact, several of the patterns below are classics (like the Dancing Cables Afghan or Tree of Life Afghan), destined to become heirloom items that are cherished and passed down for years to come.
| Dancing Cables Afghan knit in Heartland® would be a beautiful statement piece for your couch during the winter — or as a gift, which could be passed down from generation to generation. | Crochet this Table Runner in neutral or holiday colors for dressing your table when company comes over for the holidays! Try it with Cotton-Ease®, Kitchen Cotton or even Vanna’s Choice® or Vanna’s Glamour®! | Before those stockings are stuffed with small surprises, make a few for the fireplace mantle or to hang on your wall. Personalize the stocking for each recipient by knitting or crocheting their initials. This crochet Striped Holiday Stocking was made in Vanna’s Choice® and Vanna’s Glamour®. |
| This Holiday Penguin Afghan crocheted in Hometown USA® is an adorable holiday gift for a child’s room. Use it as a mat, or an afghan for cozying up in the cold. | The Tree of Life Afghan knit in Wool-Ease® is the perfect heirloom gift. Lay it out on your bed or couch for your guests to see, and marvel at your work. Make one for a special person this winter! (crochet version here) | The Holiday Cheer Table Runner crocheted in Homespun® is another great idea for your dining room decor. If you like to decorate your window for the holidays, you could use this as a window sill place mat for your figurines. |
