Knitting is one of my favorite hobbies and I think I enjoy it most during the winter. It's the perfect task when you're curled up in a blanket or sitting in front of a fire. You probably know plenty of people who need scarves, gloves, blankets, slippers, sweaters, and hats in the winter, but even if you have a surplus, you can donate the excess. I've got a few projects on my must-knit list for the winter and I thought I'd share it with my fellow knitters, just in case you're looking for something new, too!

You can never have too many scarves, but if you happen to have too many, then you might as well make a few fashion scarves that also serve a function. This one makes a great gift, FYI.

This is actually a great sweater for a beginner knitter. Sweaters are difficult, yeah, but this pattern is fun and fairly easy to follow.

The name says it all! Since leg warmers and boot cuffs are oh so very on trend at the moment and since you can size these to fit anyone, I'd say this is a must-knit pattern, too.

Call me basic, but I still love chevron as an accent pattern. I'm particularly obsessed with chevron blankets, so there you go.

This is unbelievably pretty and dedicated. It's not easy, no, but this scarf is so versatile. It's light enough for the spring and summer, plus you could layer it with heavier scarves in the fall and winter.
