The holidays can be hectic and even the most organized person can struggle to keep up. With family dinners, and coordinating travel plans it’s inevitable that something might slip through the cracks.
In case you ran out of time or forgot a present here or there, I’ve put together this creative list of easy-to-make holiday crochet gift ideas. These crochet patterns are what you’ve been looking for thoughtful and heartfelt gifts.
Besides making these gifts for the holiday, they could also be used as last-minute crochet gifts when you’re looking for something unique and handmade.
You can make these last-minute crochet projects on a weekend, and some of them in a couple of hours. But they look detailed and your loved ones will be grateful to receive a handmade gift. These easy crochet patterns include crochet gifts for men, women, and kids.

Easy Elizabeth Stitch Fingerless Gloves
If you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea for a group of people, these crochet fingerless gloves are perfect for you. You can make a bunch of them in a short amount of time, and you can customize the color per person. They’re made using a 100% organic cotton which makes the decorative ribbed stitch and Elizabeth stitch really stand out.
Make several pairs for your nieces and nephews, or make a set for the whole family. These are suitable gifts for anyone.
Reusable Crochet Face Scrubbies
If you have a family member who really loves skincare and has a deep concern for the environment, these reusable face scrubbies are amazing! They’re made out of cotton acrylic yarn, perfect for gentle exfoliation and washing away your makeup. You can make several of them and put them in a cute little tin as a stocking stuffer. Or put them in a gift basket with your favorite face wash for an easy, thoughtful present!
Give back to the environment this holiday season with these reusable crochet scrubbies. They’re the perfect stocking stuffer for children and teenagers in your family.
Easy Thick Crochet Wash Dishcloths
These dishcloths are a wonderful gift idea for the person who spends their time in the kitchen. Since these are crocheted using two balls of yarn at once, rather than a single thread, they’re squishy and durable. Strong enough to hold up against those holiday casserole dishes, or gentle enough to use as a washcloth in the shower. Include them in your face wash and reusable face scrubbies basket from above or put them in with a cookbook for a friend.
These would go great in a care basket if you’re making a set as crochet washcloths. They’re also incredibly practical in the kitchen and hold up better than commercial dish towels. Stitch a set up in no time.
Outlander Cowl Crochet Pattern
If you’ve ever seen Outlander, you know how beautiful the costumes are! This cowl was inspired by the lead character, Claire’s knit cowl, and is much quicker to stitch up. Using half double crochets and worsted wool yarn, this scarf comes together quickly and feels really warm. This chunky crochet scarf is so simple and elegant.
Give someone a gift that will encourage them to be the leading lady in their own life. This cowl was inspired by a courageous woman, and will hopefully inspire adventure in your loved ones too.
Cross Hatch Button Up Cowl
If you’re looking for a fast present with special details, this crochet cowl is perfect for you. It has a button closure on the left side and uses a decorative open stitch. It’s made out of thick, chunky yarn so it’s warm and cozy for the winter. It would look sweet on a snowy winter morning, and even better wrapped up under the tree.
This is a sweet, classic piece that will never go out of style. You might even want to crochet a cowl for yourself!
Crochet Infinity Scarf
This is a fast, and basic crochet scarf pattern. It’s made out of a worsted weight yarn and the stitches are kept simple so it’s easy to make and easier to wear. This is one of those staple pieces that will go with everything and never goes out of style. It’s great for all ages and you could even make several before the holidays roll around.
This is so easy to put together and will go with everything. Make them for all the women in your family. You can never have too many scarves, after all.
Elizabeth Stitch Boot Cuffs Crochet Pattern
These would go great with the Elizabeth fingerless gloves we mentioned above. These crochet boot cuffs stitch up quickly and use the Elizabeth stitch as well. They’ll keep you warm and look fashionable. You can make them in any color, but we like them in a nice doeskin neutral color. Give people a matched set with the gloves or have these stand-alone.
Boot cuffs are a subtle detail to any outfit and add an extra layer of warmth. No one wants to be out trekking through the snow, but it’s inevitable this time of year. Make it easier on someone by stitching these up.
Crochet iPhone Case
This is a gift that is perfect for anyone. Most people you know have a phone or tablet, and this is a personal way to give them a practical present.

The case even has a cute little button closure at the front with a crocheted loop.
Everyone of all ages could use this treat. Make stocking stuffers for the whole family and feel good that you made them something they’ll definitely use.
