Knit Gift List – Patterns worth buying

I’ll confess, I am not a pattern-follower. And thus, I very rarely buy patterns.

But occaisionally there are patterns so suited to a specific person, so unique, unlike anything I could design on my own and so beautifully photographed that I know purchasing the pattern is the only way to make the great item.

The following patterns meet those standards and would be just the thing to shock your not-knitting gift recipients.
(all of these links are to the Ravelry page, if you’re not on Ravelry, sign up, already! It’s free and fabulous!)

French Press Felted Slippers – I NEED these! Need!

Yarn Harlot’s Pretty Thing – such a pretty lacey cowl.

Smith - Squee! A tiny stuffed hedgehog. Adorableness!

Felted Clogs – Everyone in the world wants warm feet in winter. These clogs are the squooshiest!

What’s your favorite pattern to knit into gifts?
