Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10th – that’s coming up f-a-s-t, especially if you want to make it a handmade Mother’s Day with knit & crochet patterns! And if you’re a knitter or crocheter, you already know that nothing beats a handmade gift. Skip the candles. Don’t do the gift card. Not the thing-she’ll-return-on-May-11th. A handmade gift says: I thought about you. I made time for you. I made this with my own two hands and approximately 47 YouTube tutorials.

Below you’ll find some of the most beautiful knit and crochet patterns perfect for making Mom something truly special this year – wearable, useful, and made with love. There’s still time – these are all do-able! Whether you’re shopping for a shawl person, a bag person, or a “she-deserves-something-luxurious” person, there’s something here for every mom. And if you don’t have time to make something, I have fun mugs & tees in in my Etsy shop, and my popular chicken hat too!
