I think this will turn out to be idle dreaming. But in case you are really going to attempt this at the last minute, I've been meaning to pull this list together. It's just a few of my designs that are really quick to knit as gifts. And now, truly, it is very late in the game.
We're currently struggling to keep up with little gifties in Sebastian's shoes every night from the Yule Lads. And getting ready to party here, beginning with an end-of-the-world happy hour on Friday and continuing on through a trip to the beach in early January.The afterlife beach, obviously.
So....these patterns are:
- speedy!
- 1 skein projects
- $1 off until 12/31. Coupon code: HOUR11 if you buy via ravelry (links included.)
The Meathead Hat uses 1 skein of Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky and is ultra fast. This hat is sized for adults, children and babies. The largest adult size does take 2 skeins.
There are nearly a thousand examples on ravelry and flickr. (No, I have no idea why there is a roasted turkey in there.)

The Crow Cowl, shown using 1 skein of Quince & Co. Puffin. This is a cable-free pattern that looks sort of like cables, making it extra impressive for how quick it is.

Litla, a little shawl, takes 1 skein of madelinetosh Tosh Cunky. I am not an especially fast knitter, but I made this sample in 11 hours, including finishing. For a shawl, for me, that's speedy.

Cheers to you all!
I hope you're having a great holiday time.
Love the Crow Cowl; made it last year! Highly recommend it! Happy Christmas!
