There is still plenty of time to crochet or tie this year's Christmas presents. On MYO's instruction page, you will already find over 50 ideas for products that you can create yourself! Giving away something you have made yourself has a completely different value than something you have bought, and is also easier on the wallet. Below are presented some products that are perfect Christmas gifts and some “tweaks” on instructions that we tested with slightly different yarns than before. Most of the instructions we have can be crocheted with different yarns, so you can decide for yourself if you want to make the design differently than in the basic instructions.
