I am sharing my top 5 things to knit for Christmas here but actually there are many more suitable projects that you could knit as (last minute-) gifts: bulky jumpers, toys, home decor, dinner table ideas and more scarves, gloves and hats. Most are free Christmas knitting patterns and knitted Christmas decorations and ideas for your family.
Not sure if I’m there yet, but eventually, I’d like FineCraftGuild to be the ultimate resource for the best Christmas knitting patterns. I’d suggest you use the search button on the top right, type in your search term and see what comes up. Probably quite a lot of ideas and projects.
