The only thing better than receiving a homemade present is giving one not only do you get to enjoy the recipient s reaction, but you can also have fun creating a personalised present just for them. In Hook, Stitch & Give Kat Goldin provides modern and desirable patterns/ideas for gifts for every occasion, from birthdays to housewarmings and festive celebrations. Why not make a cosy cardigan for your dad s birthday or an adorable pair of pom-pom slippers for a baby shower or christening? Help friends feather their new nest with a classic yet contemporary cabled throw or cushion and celebrate Mother s Day by treating your mum to an elegant handmade necklace. Have a merry Christmas with festive makes such as snowflakes and stars, perfect as gifts but also to get your own home into the yuletide spirit. With projects for a range of abilities and some that can even be made in an evening for those last-minute gift emergencies, let Kat inspire you to pick up your crochet hook and create a gift that will be treasured.
