Practical Gifts That Crocheters May Not Get Themselves
These items are useful but not necessary. So many crocheters may get by for years without owning them. Yet, they can be so much fun to use and useful too. If your loved one is really into crochet, these are some items that they may truly love and say why did I wait so long to get these.
Yarn Swift
A Yarn Swift is a great gift for a crocheter who likes to buy yarns that come in unwound skeins. The swift allows the crocheter to wind the skein quickly and easily. Combined with a ball winder, it's easy to create center-pull yarn cakes from unwound skeins of yarn. A wooden swift is nice because it is sturdy and durable. It attaches with the bottom clamp to a table.
Yarn Ball Winder
A ball winder is super useful combined with a swift or on its own. With the swift you can use it to wind up a hank of yarn quickly. It's also great for taking yarn and turning it into center pull cakes.
Clover 3672 Amour Crochet Hook Set
A great set of ergonomic crochet hooks can be a blessing. I went for years using regular metal hooks. Then, I both got older and started crocheting even more. This hook set is a little more on the pricey side, but they are my absolute favorite ergonomic crochet hooks.
Complete Crochet Course Book
This book is my favorite all around reference on crochet. It includes clear step by step photo tutorials and covers everything from getting started through finishing.
Digital Scale
You might think of a digital scale as being something for the kitchen. They are also super useful for crocheters! This is the scale we have. We use it both in the kitchen and in the craft room. Adjusting the units to grams allows me to get very precise measurements of the weight of yarn. This can be used to measure the weight of swatch or partial project to determine how much yarn has been used. Or you can measure your remaining yarn in a skein or ball to determine how much yarn you have remaining.
Yarn Bowl
Yarn bowls are both useful and decorative. I love displaying mine on a shelf when I'm not using it. They are great for yarn that is wound into balls so that the yarn stays put while you work on your project.
Yarn Storage Organizer
A yarn storage organizer with inner compartments and outer pockets is perfect for the organized crocheter! While a great tote like this, you can keep everything in one portable container.
Reading Lamp
Like to crochet at night or just need a little help seeing the details of a project? This reading lamp gets great reviews from crafters.
Crochetpreneur Business Academy
If your crocheter is serious about venturing into crochet as a business, a membership in the Crochetpreneur Business Academy would be a generous gift. The Crochetpreneur Business Academy works for both designers and producers. The courses provide a comprehensive overview of all of the steps needed to launch and grow a crochet business. And, at the VIP level, there is an amazing community of fellow crochetpreneurs plus extra benefits like live calls and workshops every month.
Small and Useful Items
These are small items that are super useful. Your crocheter may already some of these, but having more can be helpful too. These can make great stocking stuffers for Christmas gifts. Or add them to other gifts to make a fun gift package.
Bent Tip Tapestry Needles
These are my favorite tapestry needles for weaving in the yarn ends. They are bent tipped which makes them easy to insert under strands of yarn.

There are so many options for stitch markers! I love a set like these with all the different colors available.
Retractable Tape Measure
A small retractable tape measure is perfect for carrying around in a project bag. I love that these are lightweight and very portable. They can be perfect for making quick measurements while on the go.
Foldable Scissors
These scissors are super handy. They fold up so that you can easily fit them into a small notions case or bag. The blades fit inside the handles. So, when they are closed up, they cannot accidentally cut something. I love carrying these around. They are super sturdy, and easy to use.
Yarn Wizard Tin Notions Case
This small notions case is perfect for holding all your smaller items like stitch markers and yarn needles. You can pick from five different colors for the yarn ball including purple which is my fav!
