Knitting is a popular hobby that many people enjoy. Whether you're shopping for your mom, grandmother, sister, or your very stylish friend who always has knitting needles in her hand, finding the perfect gift for a knitter can be a challenge. But don't worry! We've got you covered with this list of thoughtful and unique gifts for knitters. For the pun-loving knitter, why not get them a cute shirt made of 100% jersey cotton? It's super soft and sure to make them smile.

Or, if they're in need of some new needles, you can't go wrong with this deluxe set. It comes with 13 sizes of needle tips, six cords, 20 dot markers and a set of magnets, all packed in a faux leather case that doubles as a pattern holder. Wool bowls are a great way to showcase favorite threads and current work in progress. And if you can't knit them a pair of socks yourself, they'll still appreciate these stretch socks with a ball print.

Luxury yarns such as cashmere, silk, mohair, baby alpaca or fine merino are always on the wish list of knitters. For something truly special, consider getting them a subscription to Pom Pom magazine. It presents knitting, crocheting and crafts in a modern, beautiful and meaningful way. Or how about some small stitch stops to help prevent knitting errors? If your knitter loves their hot drinks, why not get them one of these adorable cup sweaters? Made with a classic knit knit pattern in brown or gray, its little sleeves fasten around your cup for a hug.

And don't forget about the bag! It provides additional pockets for convenient storage of crochet needles, knitting needles, patterns and accessories. Knitting row counters are also great for tracking rows quickly and easily. And if they're working on an interlocking project that needs to be the right size, stitch blockers are ideal for achieving the desired size. Handler also recommends this skein of Simply Socks Yarn because the yarn itself is dyed to make a pattern mostly just stripes when woven.

Finally, if your knitter often makes sweaters (or anything that needs to be sewn), they'll appreciate having a locking mat to stretch the designs and make sure all the pieces are the right size.
