L ike most children, I was taught it is better to give than receive. While I struggled with this adage as a young girl, I came to embrace the wisdom as I matured, especially when I learned to knit. There are few things that give me as much pleasure as feeling yarn travel through my fingers in a rhythmic pulse as stitches form one by one. I simply love to knit. So its no wonder that I get double (albeit selfish) pleasure out of knitting gifts for friends and family. I get to choose beautiful yarnsometimes luxury yarn that I wouldnt buy for myselfand try out stitch patterns, color combinations, and techniques that I might otherwise overlook. Left unchecked, my closets, drawers, nooks, and crannies would overflow with more knitted sweaters, scarves, hats, and socks than I could possibly wear. But by giving my handknits as gifts, I can always justify buying more yarn and abandoning the housework to knit for hoursits for someone else, not me, I rationalize. And then, theres the moment when the happy recipient gushes over the fact that I took time to create a one-of-a-kind gift and recognizes the tiny bit of me thats in every stitch. Theres no doubt that I come out on top.
For Knitted Gifts, I asked other knitters, many of them accomplished designers, to come up with unusual and inspired projects that they would like to give (or receive) as gifts. Thirty-two of their best ideas are compiled in this book. Whether youre looking for a quick one-skein scarf or an heirloom-quality baby blanket, youll find lots of choices to delight everyone on your gift list men, women, and children. But dont resist the temptation to make something just for you along the way. Theres plenty of joy to be had in giving a gift to yourself, too!

D ont have a lot of time? Dont worryyou can knit up Gregory Courtneys little scarf in a snap. Just knit two halves from the front to the center back (the yarn is used double for quicker knitting), then join them together with a three-needle bind-off, and youre done. The decorative edge, created along the way with slipped stitches at each end of the needle, provides stability so the scarf wont stretch in length. Each scarf requires just one skein of yarn.
FINISHED SIZE About 3" (7.5 cm) wide at base and 40" (101.5 cm) long.
YARN Fingering weight
(#1 Super Fine), used double.
