For Christmas gifts, I really like to make gifts for whoever I can rather than buy them. I can knit, crochet, paint.. you name it. But the fastest way to get gifts made up has to be by knitting them. There are also way more free knitting patterns than anything else. So if you're handy with a pair of knitting needles then let's get started with some free Christmas knitting patterns from KnitPicks.com!
So KnitPicks.com has an entire section devoted to their free knitting patterns. You can have a browse around to find something that suits you, but I am going to highlight the Christmas themed items since that is the holiday that is fast approaching. I also like that KnitPicks.com lets you know the approximate cost of the materials for each project, so you can see if it is affordable to make something for each family member or not. The costs look pretty reasonable to me!
So here are the free Holiday knitting patterns from KnitPicks.com:

- Holiday Pillow Set (approximate $16.14)
