It's that time of year where, if you're anything like us, the Christmas decorations starting to go in the shops has suddenly reminded us the it's gift knitting time. We've been inundated with requests for quick to knit patterns and any news of yarn on discount to get you knitting.
To help you out, here is our round up of some knitting patterns for unisex accessories, single skein wonders and chunky items that work up quickly to give amazing results. We also sent out a list of retailers currently offering discounts on the yarn last week and will continue to do so in the fortnightly newsletter as we run up to the Holiday season. So if you're not
signed up for the newsletter, make sure you are soon because we will be packing it with sales, discounts, patterns ideas and events to keep you feeling in good spirits this season.
Hats:
These single skein knitted hat patterns might be just the thing you need for your colleagues and loved ones.

| Arncott by Jen Arnall-Culliford |
The perfect unisex knitted hat,
Arncott is worked up in Scrumptious 4ply. It's even photographed in the perfect Christmas colourway: Cherry Red!

| Kenwyn by Rachel Coopey |
The
Kenwyn Hat featured in The Scrumptious Collection Volume 3 (which is currently 20% off the whole collection on Ravelry with the code
TBTScrumptious3- ends at midnight
). Worked up in Scrumptious Aran, this works up fast for a beautiful textured hat.
Garments:
There's just enough time to work up some heavier weight garments for you (hey, who doesn't want to gift themselves a sweater??) or your loved ones for Christmas.

| Uffington by Jeni Hewlett |
The perfect sweater vest- quick, a little detail and a feminine finish,
Uffington calls for Scrumptious Chunky, our bulky weight luxury yarn.

| Larigan by Amanda Crawford |
Larigan is a
beautiful cowl-neck sweater, with cosy moss stitch cuffs and all-over cable pattern. This is another quick knit from The Scrumptious Collection Volume 3 so go use that code to get knitting!
Gloves/ Mittens:
These are always welcome for all the family!

Unisex, simple and warm these
Hendred Mittens are a perfect single skein knitting pattern for Holiday knitting.
 |
| Hinksey by Lily Kate France |
We love
Hinksey Mittens as our go to mitten pattern for gifts. Beautiful cables make interesting detail while keeping the pattern simple enough to be unisex.
Shawls and Special Knits:
Sometimes you want to push the boat out. If you're pushed for time, these simple knits should get you great results without the headache.
 |
| Childry by Elly Doyle |
Childry is our incredibly popular single skein shawl pattern. Ruffles, potato chip knitting and fast results. Perfect.
 |
| Sonning by Jen Arnall Culliford |
Sonning is a shawl with interesting construction: the two side triangles are knitted first and are joined together with a delicate lace and twisted stitch panel. This means a large shawl that is easy travel knitting meaning you can double your knitting time!
Chunky Knits:
Fast and effective for when time is feeling a little tight.
 |
| Cogges Handwarmers by Jeni Hewlett |
Cogges Handwarmers. These single skein chunky warmers are perfect for beginners wishing to try their hand at cables.

Volume 3- have we convinced you to purchase it yet?
