A crocheter or crochet obsessed person only wants two things: good quality yarn and free time. So the first thing that you should always go with when choosing gifts for crochet lovers is to get them the highest quality yarn or gift card to the store where they usually buy their yarn. The free time part is something you need to take care of by yourself, sadly no advice from me.
While I said that yarn and free time are all crocheter needs, they might appreciate receiving one or two more things. And that are good tools. A seasoned crocheter might have an armory of hooks and needles, but they are always looking to find new hooks that are more comfortable to use for a longer period.
So the main theme of this list of gift ideas for crochet lovers is tools and trinkets that will help out a crocheter. I have tried to find products that won’t break the bank but are also of good quality. But honestly, chances are most of the things listed here are already owned by a full-time crocheter, so make sure you secretly check before buying.

Best Gifts For Crochet Lovers:
1. Crochet Organizer Bag
Every pet owner should own this Crochet Organizer Bag because you don’t want your cat playing with a lying yarn ball or the dog/car fur in the next crochet project. The bag has four slits that seamlessly feed wool out at the perfect tension, keeping the yarn balls safe from the pet. The bag also has seven pockets to hold all knitting & crochet supplies in one place neatly.
2. Yarn Storage
Impulsively buying yarn with good quality and color is a constant struggle every crocheter faces. Now with a hoard of yarn, one might need this Yarn Storage to keep all their yarn purchases in one place. The yarn storage hangs on a wall or door to keep it out of range of children and pets. It also has six roomy side pockets to keep crochet hooks, scissors, and needles.
3. Handheld Steamer
The final stage of a crochet project is blocking. The process involves gently stretching the project into a certain shape and size. Blocking involves three different methods: Wet, Spray & Steam. Many crocheters have their own blocking preference, but steam blocking is the most versatile way. So gifting a Handheld Steamer to crochet lovers depends on whether they use this method of blocking.
4. Sheep Ceramic Yarn Bowl
This Sheep Ceramic Yarn Bowl is the most meta gift a crochet lover will ever receive if they work with wool yarn. This adorable, sheep-shaped yarn bowl rests on any flat surface and does its job of keeping yarn clean, contained, and tangle-free. It is also a great collectible to display on a shelf if they end up not using it.
5. Yarn Winder
Yarn Winder is a tool a seasoned crochet enthusiast might already own. It is used to turn skeins or hanks of yarn into ready-to-use yarn cakes. So I only recommend getting this as a gift if it’s for someone new to the world of crochet. The Yarn Winder clamps on most tabletops and comes with a sturdy metal handle, so it doesn’t break if spun faster.
6. Yarn Swift
Yarn Swift is another tool that an experienced crocheter might already own, but a beginner wouldn’t. It might look a little complicated to use, but its application is very simple. The Yarn Swift can be used parallel with a Yarn Winder to wound off a hank of yarn into a yarn cake. I recommend getting a Yarn Winder and Swift together as a gift.
7. Wooden Blocking Board
This Wooden Blocking Board also called pegged blocking board, is an alternative to a regular blocking foam mat. One can do regular blocking and granny square-based projects with it. The board is made with high-quality Red Oak wood and comes with fifty 4-inches pegs to hold more projects at one go.
8. Crochet Backpack
Crochet on the go, on the bus, or at the park is possible with this Crochet Backpack. It can hold 30 pieces of 50g yarn and has six interior pockets with matching holes to feed out yarn threads to continue working on a project without opening the bag. The front pocket stores all the needles and hooks.
9. Neck Reading Light
Do you know someone who does their crochet at night or while watching TV in a dark room and doesn’t want to disturb others by turning on the light? If yes, then get them this Neck Reading Light. The brightness is comfortable and directionally adjustable. It’s rechargeable, and the battery can hold up to 80 hours of use.
10. Needle and Crochet Gauge
This adorable, elephant-shaped Needle and Crochet Gauge is a multipurpose tool for knitters and crocheters. The top and bottom notch on the gauge is used to find the correct size of a crochet hook or knitting needle you own if they dont label their sizes. It also has a gauge for measuring stitches and a handy yarn cutter under the trunk to finish your project.
11. Adjustable Knitting Loop Rings
Once a person gets the hang of crochet, they will start doing it faster, which will cause slight rope burn from the friction of pulling the yarn faster. Or, if they hold their yarn tight, their finger will get sore. To avoid that, these Adjustable Knitting Loop Rings are an excellent solution. This set comes in 3 pieces, and they are designed in a cute cat shape.
12. Crochet Hook Case
Do you know a crochet lover who owns got amount of hooks scattered around the house? Because this Crochet Hook Case is perfect for them. It is made of durable canvas-coated material with slots for different sizes and types of hooks. The best part is it comes in different colors and designs, so choose wisely.
13. Yarn Cutter Pendant
This Yarn Cutter Pendant is a very cleverly disguised tool that holds blades to cut yarn neatly without exposing the sharp sides. It is also very decorative and can be worn as a necklace so that children will have no access to it. The only con of this product is its blades are not replaceable, so once the sharpness dulls, you’ll need to get a new one.
14. Knitting Stitch Counter
I am putting this Knitting Stitch Counter in second last place because most crocheters are advised to get a stitch counter even if they are beginners. So they probably own one or two of these products. So unless they really don’t own one, only then get them this product.
15. Crochet Hooks
Can’t end this crochet lovers gift idea list without mentioning this set of Crochet Hooks. Each hook comes in different colors and beautiful designs with sizes marked on it to avoid confusion. The hooks are made of aluminum, and the grip is made of soft polymer clay with ergonomics in mind.
