Are you looking for the very best gift for your crochet friend? Or are you a crocheter with no idea of what to ask for? Look no further! I’ve curated a list of the top 10 gifts for crocheters which I’m sure you’re going to love!
As a crocheter myself, it can be difficult to come up with ideas of things I would like. My immediate thought is always yarn, but buying yarn for someone can be a minefield in itself. Chances are, with no idea of a project to make with it, that yarn is just going to end up left in the ever-growing stash.
Instead, we want some meaningful gifts that crocheters are really going to use and cherish! This list of gifts for crocheters has been put together with that in mind.

Before we dive into the top 10 gift guide, let’s pause and consider a few things:
Who are you buying for?
Think about the age of the person you’re buying for, their style, and their taste, both as a crocheter and in general. Do they like bright colours or neutrals? Are they confident in their crocheting persona or shy about it? Consider then whether they would like something to show off their crochet, or if they’d rather keep it in the confines of their own home.
Experience level
Consider whether the person you are buying for is a beginner crocheter, a more advanced crocheter, or even a designer. This will determine what level of items you might like to buy them. For example, an advanced crocheter is not likely to need stitch markers as they will definitely already have them. That being said, some pretty handmade stitch markers will always go down a treat.
Project types
Do you know what they like to make? Blankets, small projects or garments? Maybe amigurumi? Or maybe they only like to work with a certain type of yarn. If so, you could base your gift around their project type.
Once you’ve decided the kind of thing you’d like to buy, next you need to look at where from.
In the guide below I’ve linked to all of the different items to make this easier, but if you’d like to shop around, here are a few great stores to check out:
