The pinnacle of knit gift-giving is a knit sweater (though socks are pretty high up there, too, because they take a long time and most people are skeptical about knit socks, so you really have to be careful who you give them to).
Clearly not everyone deserves a knit sweater for the holidays or any other time. So how do you decide who gets a garment and who gets, say, a scarf or a hat instead?
If you have to wonder, that’s probably not a person who deserves a knit sweater.
But if you’d like a more scientific approach to the problem, check out this flow chart from Interweave that will help you decide who to knit a sweater for.
There is more to the chart than is pictured above, so click over to make your decision making easier.
Have you ever knit a sweater for someone? How did you decide they were worthy? (I pretty much only knit sweaters for myself and my daughter, who is definitely worthy.)
