“Make Ahead Mondays”
Make Ahead Mondays
A growing collection of free Snappy Tots crochet patterns to help you build your gift stash one project at a time.
Have you ever needed a handmade gift and suddenly realized you should have started three weeks ago? Me too.
That’s what Make Ahead Mondays are for!
Each Monday I’ll add another gift-worthy crochet project to this collection. You can make along with me and slowly build a stash of ready-to-give goodies, or just bookmark this page and come back whenever you need a gift idea.
You’ll find quick projects, useful gifts, things for kids, wearables, holiday ideas and projects that are especially handy when you need to make several.
What Do You Need to Make?
⚡ Quick Gifts
Need something you can actually finish? Start here.
🎁 Teachers, Neighbors & Friends
Useful little gifts that are easy to keep on hand for the people who pop up on your gift list.
🏠 For the Home
Practical, pretty and easy to tuck away until you need a housewarming or everyday gift.
🧣 Wearables
Hats, scarves, slippers and other cozy gifts.
🧸 Kids & Babies
Cute things for the littles on your list.
🎄 Holidays & Seasonal Gifts
Make them ahead and avoid the last-minute holiday crochet scramble.
🧶 Craft Fairs & Make-a-Bunch Projects
Good choices when you want to make several for gifts, swaps, baskets or a craft-fair table.
Don’t Wait Until You Need the Gift
Pick a project, make one now and tuck it away. Then when a birthday, teacher gift, neighbor surprise, holiday or “OH NO, I NEED A GIFT!” moment sneaks up on you, you’ll already have something handmade and ready to go.
Come Back Next Monday!
I’ll keep adding new Make Ahead Monday projects to this page, so bookmark it and come back whenever your gift stash needs a refill.
