Dear users, dear designers,
here in this thread you can discover patterns for truly big, extensive, elaborate and possibly also expensive / luxurious Christmas gifts, download them right away, and make them yourself. Sometimes it just has to be something big.
If you get started now, you’ll still finish in time for Christmas.

@Designers,
2-3 patterns per designer is enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

This loop doesn’t look that big, nor does it seem that complicated, but it’s quite the project. It’s knitted from 4-ply sock yarn, and you should plan on using at least 800m of it. What makes it time-consuming is that it’s knitted in the round as a long tube. That means double the work, but it also makes it wonderfully soft and cozy and has the big advantage that there’s no right or wrong side.

You can find the pattern here.



You can knit the loop in one color or two, whichever you prefer.

A knitting project that you should plan quite a bit of time for, but also a gift that certainly not everyone will receive, is this scarf. It is knitted double-sided, which means the colors on the front and back are exactly reversed. But it also means that you basically have to knit every stitch twice, once for the front and once for the back. That takes time.

You can find the pattern here.



The pattern consists of several dotted motifs, all shown in knitting charts.

An entire crocheted train set! Not everyone has one of those! Depending on how many cars you crochet, this could be a long-term project. The individual parts of the locomotive and cars aren’t hard to crochet, but there are quite a few pieces. The cars are connected to each other with Velcro.
The value pack includes the patterns for both the locomotive and the cars. You can save 25%!

How about a real XXL cuddly teddy bear?

You should already be familiar with single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, chain stitches, and slip stitches. The teddy bear stands about 50 cm tall. (When using the specified hook size and yarn)

Materials needed:
  • Crochet with yarn, hook sizes 3–3.5, 160 m/50 g, in the colors white (1 skein of 50 g), teal (2 skeins of 50 g), and mint (3 skeins of 50 g). In this case, I used “Lara von Feria” fluffy yarn.
  • Crochet hooks sizes 3.5 and 4.5
  • Darning needle, long threading needle, pins
  • 4 joint discs, Ø 35 mm; 2 safety eyes, size 12 mm

Despite the size/length, relatively quick to knit:

Cardigan/Long Knitted Jacket MARGIT Sizes 38 to 46 One Size - Oversize






(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This comfortable, cozy knitted piece in an oversized style weighs only approx. 275 g with the yarns used here, so it is feather-light. Both stitch patterns used are absolutely simple. The collar design requires a little care, so the difficulty level is intermediate. Length as desired.

The model shown is knitted with double strand and US size 10 / 6.0 mm needles using 175 g KidSilk by Austermann plus 100 g Merino Lace by Austermann. Alternatively, you can choose yarns with a needle size suitable for the yarn that in
approx. match a gauge of 17 sts = approx. 10 cm with 6.0 mm knitting needles,
e.g. approx. 450 g Dolce Mohair (Mondial) - knitted with a single strand.
Additional yarn alternatives - also without mohair - are listed in the
pattern. Stitch markers are highly recommended.

The illustrated PDF pattern with stitch- and row-by-row instructions is based on the gauge mentioned above. Because of the jacket’s relaxed shape and stretchiness, one stitch more or less is not very
critical. If there are larger gauge deviations, please choose a
larger or smaller knitting needle size. The pattern does
not include a knitting course, but does include helpful links.

This cardigan makes a big Christmas gift. It is cozy and warm, and the stitch pattern makes it nice and stretchy while still being fitted. That means it fits size 38 as well as 42/44. The jacket has two pockets in the front.


Difficulty level: intermediate - you should already have some knitting experience
The cardigan is knitted with raglan from the bottom up.

Here is the knitting pattern for the women’s cardigan with pockets.

A great Christmas gift is this poncho shawl with waves and a lace pattern. It can be worn both as a shawl and as a poncho, depending on what you need at the moment.

Knitting it never gets boring. And in the end, you’ll be happy to have a truly elegant eye-catcher.


Difficulty level: intermediate

The pattern includes everything, including the pattern charts. There are also lots of detailed photos, making it easy to recreate this elegant piece.

Here’s the knitting pattern for the poncho shawl with waves and a lace pattern.
