Somehow I never seem to think of Holiday gifts until just a few weeks before they hit. Maybe some year I’ll finally plan out things a few months in advance, but until then, I find myself turning to projects that are quick to whip up while still being meaningful and beautiful.
I’ve put together a list of gift ideas that are handmade with love, and every single idea comes with a FREE pattern and could potentially be a stash buster for all those mini leftover yarn balls!
