Now that it's practically October, it's time for us knitters to get serious about this year's holiday gift list. There's so much to knit and so little time--where do you begin?

We can help with that. Knit Purl's team of yarn fanatics has hand-selected some of our favorite color combinations for two striking new scarf kits: the Noro Rib Scarf and the Linen Stitch Scarf.

Our kits are hand-assembled with love and curated to give you the best possible color choices without you having to lift a finger! Knit one of these cozy warmers for your friends and family (or for yourself!) and we guarantee that your holidays will be blissfully free of last-minute gift knitting panic.

And if you're looking for a gift for a fellow knitter, a Knit Purl kit is a great solution. Just present the whole kit--pattern, yarn, and all--and let your knitterly friends create their own gorgeous gifts!

Linen Stitch Scarf

Churchmouse Classics' Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf has been a huge hit in our store for years. Visitors are entranced by the mysterious linen stitch pattern and the way its slipped stitch 'floats' give knitting a whole new look--it almost appears woven! And now we've harnessed the magic into a perfectly portioned Linen Stitch Scarf kit.

One of our favorite things about this scarf is the way it can start with wildly contrasting colors and end with a harmonious blend of hues that look like they were made for each other. Another bonus? Each color change forms a strand of the fringe at the ends of the scarf, so there's no weaving in ends!

There's no such thing as a clashing color when the Linen Stitch Scarf is involved, but we've done some of the work for you by creating five palettes of Koigu KPPPM to choose from: Warm, Cool, Neutral, Bright, and Muted. We'll include a copy of the Linen Stitch Scarf pattern, too, so all you need is the needles!

Knitters the world over are obsessed with the wild and wonderful colorways of Noro yarns. These rapidly changing variegated hues are certain to spice up any pattern, even the simplest of scarves.

Which brings us to the Noro Rib Scarf kit. A basic two by two rib pattern is given new life with stripes of Noro Kureyon (a Japanese pun on the word "crayon"), turning a simple scarf into a stylish statement piece!

We've chosen three color combinations for the Noro Rib (Warm, Cool, and Neutral) to give you plenty of options to match any style. Keep your loved ones toasty warm with this cushy, colorful scarf!
