Six free wedding gift patterns
Celebrate a special day with Kirstie McLeod’s beautiful knit and crochet gifts for brides and bridesmaids.
Published:
Make one of these sumptuously elegant keepsakes, designed by Kirstie McLeod for Simply Knitting magazine, to make your big day even more special. We have six easy-to-work patterns for you to choose from: a ring cushion, crocheted corsage and hair band, lace fingerless mittens, bridesmaid’s bag, and cake toppers.
If you’re making these as a gift for a friend or relative, why not personalise your creations by embroidering the bride and groom’s initials in contrasting thread? Don’t forget to pick yarn shades, ribbons and beads to match their colour scheme! You could even whip up all six projects to give the day a truly handmade theme.
