7 Winter Knitting Projects to Keep You Busy and Cozy

Knitting is our favorite winter pastime. It is relaxing, productive, and can be done while cozied up next to the fire in slippers. What could be better than that? Whether you are a beginner knitter or have been knitting for years, you will love the winter knitting projects below.

Big Up! Throw Blanket

This quick finger knit will keep you snuggled up for hours on a chilly afternoon. Plus, it is beautiful with its brilliant hand-dyed colors and so very soft. Select your colourway and start knitting- it should only take two hours to complete. 

Stockinette Sweater

This lovely sweater is great for new knitters who have never knitted a sweater. It is knitted in a simple stockinette stitch using a soft, bulky yarn that will keep you warm all winter. The bulkier yarn creates bigger stitches, which tend to be easier for beginner knitters to navigate. Grab the free pattern here.

Black Hole Beanie

Keeping our heads protected from icy winter winds doesn't mean that we can't do it in style. The Black Hole Beanie is a beaded hat knitted with superfine merino weight yarn- your choice of color. 

Winter Throw Pillow

We can never have enough soft, cozy throw pillows, especially when it is cold outside. If you are looking for a winter, holiday pattern, we love this one. The vintage truck with the holiday tree is so perfect. A video tutorial comes with the pattern.
