1. Cup cover. An excellent functional knitted gift for every day that will keep the drink hot and will not let your fingers burn. It can be knitted very quickly in straight and reverse rows. Make a rectangular piece with the selected pattern according to the diameter of the cup, choose the height arbitrarily (so that the “clothes” do not interfere with drinking). Grasp the crockery with a knitted piece, try on. Do not forget to make a couple of holes along one edge for beautiful buttons. To do this, close 4 loops at the designated places, in the next row above them, make 4 air loops. Decorate the cover with lettering embroidery, beads and other decorative elements if you wish.
2. Hot stand. To make this knitted gift, you need to knit a square. Choose the middle diameter of the working tool (for example, # 4) in order to get an optimal thickness of the stand - functional and at the same time quite elegant. Cast on 30 stitches and knit in straight and back rows until the piece is square. Choose a tight knit, such as a shawl or a simple square, purl, and knit stitch. After tying an equilateral piece, close the last row and iron the stand. To decorate a knitted gift, crochet the edges with contrasting thread.
3. Tied bracelet. An adornment in homemade knitted "clothes" can be a great stylish present. Pick up bright remnants of yarn, think of a pattern, for example, multi-colored stripes. A wide, smooth bracelet is good for strapping. Calculate the length and height of the rectangular piece, tie it together and carefully wrap the accessory. Sew a knit stitch along the inner center line of the bracelet.
4. Tiebacks for curtains are excellent do-it-yourself knitted New Year gifts for connoisseurs of handmade interior details. For an accessory, choose a suitable crochet or knitting pattern for two beautiful stripes. Decorate each with a flower. To complete it, make an air chain of 75 links, in each loop - a pair of double crochets. Then alternate like this:
- skip a couple of downstream thread bows;
- in 3 loop, make 7 double crochets;
- skip a couple of downstream loops;
- Single crochet in 3 sts. Work along this pattern until you have a spiral. Form a flower from it and decorate with a bead.
You can also simplify the product - knit a strip of the required length and form a beautiful bow out of it.
5. Phone case - a knitted gift for a smartphone owner. This outfit for a gadget will especially delight a girl or a young girl.

In the first row, make single crochet, in subsequent straight and reverse rows - double crochet. Start each row with 3 air lifting loops. At the end of the detail - single crochet. Also connect the edges from the wrong side with simple posts, then turn the product inside out. You can decorate the cover with a flower, embroider a funny face and tie the ears, sew on beads and beads.
