'Tis the season for wrapping our cherished yarn aficionados in the warm embrace of the perfect gifts to amplify their craft! While yarn might seem like the obvious choice, let's face it—most knitters and crocheters enthusiasts already have a stash that can be mistaken for a yarn store. Fear not, for we've curated a collection of 2023's best gifts tailored to knitters and crocheters.
Consider this list your road map to the holiday season! Find something to gift to your best knitty friend or add them to our own wish list. We even created a downloadable Crafty Wish List for you to format your own list to share with admirers.
What's particularly delightful about our Crafty Wish List is the space designated for jotting down your personal favorites. This empowers your gift giver to embark on a quest for the ultimate surprise—perhaps a gift card to your favorite knitting destination or a gift from your local yarn store.
This year our list goes beyond Billy and Baa and includes finds that we don't carry ourselves. While we'd love to be your go-to hub for all notions and accessories, we're a small business and have some inventory limitations.
Best Gifts for Knitters and Crocheters
The Billy and Baa holiday shop is open with our gift picks, as well as options to shop for gifts under $5 and under $10.

Fabric Shaver and Lint RemoverThe more you wear your hand knit wool sweater the more you'll find little pills and fuzzy bits. Use this handheld to clean up your sweater and make it look as pristine as the day it came off the blocking mat.

Couch Arm TrayIf you're planning to make a day of knitting or crocheting, this is a must have. Keep your tools organized in the tray (no more losing stitch markers in the cushions!) and your pattern in the pockets. Knitflixing has never been easier! |
 |
Neck Reading LightThis accessory is a game changer for those times you find yourself knitting or crocheting in low light, like when while watching tv or traveling. Just wrap it around your neck and let the hands-free light illuminate your pattern or your stitches. |

Audible SubscriptionIf you love reading, audio books make a great companion to knitting or chrocheting. Get lost in a story and the stitches will just fly off your needles. Plus, you can compliment your craft by listening to books about knitting, like The Curse of The Boyfriend Sweater or Unraveling. |
 |
Granny Square Blocking BoardIf you love crocheter who loves making granny squares - or even a knitter who loves mitered squares - this will be a much-loved gift. It's not something a crocheter might buy for themselves, so it's a special gift that will make you think of them for years to come. |
 |
Organizational Craft CaddyKeeping your supplies together around the house can be a challenge, which is why we adore this Craft Caddy. Store your favorite reference book and tools on the bottom and your current WIP in the top. The tray feature allows you to keep your project safe from curious hands (and paws!) when you're not working on it, while being a table top when you are. Win, win! |
 |
Finger ChopsticksAny knitter or crocheter who snacks while they stitch, know it can be problematic. But not with these Finger Chopsticks! They easily slide onto fingers and stay in place without disrupting your stitching. Use them to pick up a salty or messy snack (i.e. popcorn) so your fingers stay clean. A notions bag staple if you ask us! |
There's nothing like the feeling of giving the perfect gift. The smile on someone's face is only made sweeter knowing that the gift you give will keep on giving.
