How long do the quick knitting projects take to knit?

Each of these patterns take about 2-6 hours to knit, which is great news for those of us with a short attention span or those of us that are procrastinators who need quick Christmas gift ideas. Huh, I never put those 2 together before, short attention span and procrastinator, but I’m definitely both! lol!

All of these patterns are knit using super bulky yarn, Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick , so they knit up quickly!

Get started on your gift list & check out the quick knit gifts below!

This scarf cowl pattern is a beginner knitting pattern in garter stitch. It's a simple pattern using one skein of super bulky yarn, making it a quick knit, with no waste. The buttons are faux, so you won't be knitting button holes, but you still have the look of functional buttons. It's easier to slip over your head, without fidgeting with the buttons too. ;)
This is a great alternative to a traditional rectangle scarf. Save time and money making this scarf cowl all while staying warm & cozy. Make this scarf cowl in about 3 hours using 1 ball of super bulky yarn!

Knitted gifts make some of the most thoughtful gifts, in my opinion. So much time & love goes into each knitting project. You put your heart and soul into each stitch, making it with love for the gift recipient to cherish for years come.
