Table of Contents

The holidays are right around the corner, and your schedule is probably filled with parties, potlucks, and Secret Santa gift exchanges. If you need some inspiration for a quick knit that will still feel thoughtful, here are some ideas you can finish in just a week or two. These projects are perfect for using that single skein you have been saving, or leftover yarn from a project. Plus they are small enough to tuck into a project bag and take on the go. That way you can find the time to finish them during this busy time. Best of all, they all call for 50 g of yarn or less, so you can make something special without having to buy yarn or spend a ton of time.
