Easy Last Minute Presents

All my relatives and friends are excited about getting handmade presents, but we all know it takes a lot of time and effort to make them. Most of the time I also don't have the money to buy multiple skeins of yarn or order patterns I would only use once. As a solution for all of us busy present crafters, I created a little list of great last minute presents.

All of these patterns are free and use less than 400 yards of yarn! Depending on your knitting skills and available free time, they should all be relatively quick and easy to make.

Each picture is linked to the patterns' page on Ravelry and details about its name and designer are below.

Tell me what you think! 

Are there any patterns you like to use as last minute presents?
