I want to make a slouchy hat for my brother in law for Christmas – yes all my extended family are getting crocheted goods this year… – and this one seems quite simple, if I’m going to make a beanie for a guy I think it should be simple. I don’t think he needs the diamond brooch

I’m thinking of making string baskets for others…

| A string basket in the making, I’m keeping this one for my yarn! |
I’ve just made this up, just crocheted a square and then stopped increasing once it is the desired width. could do round, hexagon or anything really.
I plan on blogging the whole process, so keep an eye out for that.

and maybe some string wine bottle carriers…
I cannot find a pattern like this for free, but I’m sure I can figure something out. I’m sure there’s a wine bottle about to use as a size guide…
Cotton String is great, a bit harder to work with but a great result. It’s cheap and clean.
This cover is a bit simpler, it would be easier to figure out.
Any bag would work really, and I guess cotton would stain easy and not wash well. But it would look good at first 😉 !!
Would you be happy receiving these gifts?
Any other suggestions for modern crochet gifts?

I wish I could crochet, my grandmother tried to teach me when I was young, and I wish I had learned. I love how early you’re starting to get ready for Christmas!

You should try to learn again! Your grandmother would be proud. I can only crochet in Winter here as it gets so hot in Summer, so must do all Christmas Crocheting early.
