This project is part of the 12 Weeks of Gifting Series!  Each week from NOW to the end of December, I’ll be sharing a new pattern for something that is super easy and super quick to whip up.  We’ll be using the same yarn and same hook size for every single project, just switching up the colors a bit.  Many of these projects can also be made in just one sitting too!

With the holiday season fast approaching, sometimes it’s hard to squeeze in the time needed to make handmade gifts for everyone on your list!  No worries, our 12 Weeks of Gifting Series to the rescue!  Get the full directory below of all of the projects:
