No doubt, like me, you love making and gifting your handmade treasures to loved ones at Christmas. Have you considered, instead, to give the gift of handmaking this Christmas? That way your loved one can experience the joy of turning a pile of unassuming ingredients into something special... Like one of these gorgeous crochet dogs. Don the Golden Retriever These beautiful crochet kits would be perfect as a secret Santa gift for a crafty colleague. A stocking stuffer for the dog lover (you can even try and match the breed with the recipients own dog), or, as a stand-alone gift for the loved one who has everything and loves to crochet. These kits come with everything, aside from scissors, your intended recipient needs to make their very own crochet dogs (yes, even the crochet hook and stuffing). The instructions are very clear but if your gift recipient needs further assistance links are provided for video explanations. These videos cover everything from reading the pattern to the stitches used. The end results are absolutely adorable, take only a few hours to achieve (perfect for working on holiday road trips or while everyone else is sleeping off Christmas lunch) and sure to make the crafter very proud of their efforts. The perfect gift The TOFT Crochet kits are available in store now at Thread Collective in a range of designs and levels to suit beginners and up. These kits have been popular and selling fast, order your today. Photo credit to @justyoumeandthedogs.
