It's Cyber Monday today, and everyone is online snatching up the deals. But when it comes to the yarn-worthy on your list, don't freak out - there's still time to craft for the holidays!
In years past I've made projects both big and small, for a variety of recipients. I've already highlighted some of my Favorite Fingerless Gloves patterns, so here are some more links for projects I've made and loved, in both knit and crochet. The links will take you all over the web, but the pics are all my own. Best of all, each of these patterns are fast and FREE!
For the BABIES:
Blackberry Salad Stitch Blanket (crochet) and the Moderne Baby Blanket (knit)
Baby Hoodie (crochet, with/without hood) andSuper-Natural Stripes (knit)
Sleepy Sarah Amigurumi (crochet) and Bev's Top Down Gnome (knit)
For the KIDS:
Fairytale Fingerpuppets (crochet), Cupcake Cradle Purse (crochet), and Oh Balls! (knit)
For the TEENS:
Deep Sea Flower Dice Bag (knit) and One Skein Scarf (crochet)
For TEACHERS, ADULTS, AND EVERYONE ELSE:
Crochet Coffee Cup Cozy (crochet) and Knit Coffee Sleeve (knit)
Nordstrom Crochet Hobo Bag (crochet, sorry I don't have a finished pic!) and Amble (knit)
Cable Hat (crochet), Hannah (knit), Shroom (knit)
And for that VERY SPECIAL (but chilly) PERSON:
Blackberry Throw (crochet), Zen Spiral Afghan (crochet), or a Trip to Jamaica! (or maybe a shawl like the one I crocheted for my own trip to Jamaica a few years ago?)
I hope you got some good ideas! There are so many more projects and amazing patterns out there I've loved, and so many more I've get to try! Happy crafting, and feel free to share any of your favorite free patterns in the comments!

The hoodie with/without hoodie pattern is no longer available at caron, b ut is available here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hooded-sweater--hat. Click to download and you will be taken to the "Wayback Machine". If you haven't used the "Wayback Machine" before....click on "Impatient" and it will load pattern.

Oh wow, I used that pattern a bunch of times! I'm surprised they took it down! Thanks for the new link Ann!

You're welcome...actually I got to thinking maybe a link to the "Wayback Machine" pattern might be easier for someone...so here it is:
