30+ Craft Kit Ideas For Boys

by

This boys crafts gift guide is all about craft kits that are aimed at boys. I am all for non-gender specific toys, clothing and products BUT I still want my boy to enjoy crafting and if that means finding him craft kits without pink packaging or unicorns and princesses then that is what I will do. Creativity far outweighs my stopping him from crafting. Obviously he has a choice to pick pink boxes and barbie crafts if he wants and he does not. However, his sister doesn’t want pink boxes either and can’t stand painting pink unicorns or little mermaids.

So this is what this list is all about, please do not message me about how everyone can purchase from this list, cause I know they can, you know they can, but this list is for those people who need to have gender-specific packaging. This is a gift guide list for them, because finding creative crafty gifts for boys is really really hard.

You can see all of the top picks that I have hand-selected here at this Gift Guide List. Make sure you check back often as I am adding more and more products as they are recommended to me or become available.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
