5. A teddy bear
While you may spend the majority of your time knitting cute clothing items such as cardigans, sweaters and scarves, you can also use your talent for knitting in order to knit toys for the kids in your life. To start off with, you may want to try knitting a small, miniature sized teddy bear. That you’ll be able to gift to a child in your family or one of your best friend’s children.
Once you’ve got the hang of knitting teddy bears, you’ll be able to experiment with creating other types of soft toys such as soft roy rabbits and monkeys.

One of the reasons why you may prefer knitting mittens over gloves is that mittens are a lot easier to knit as they only have two seperate compartments whilst gloves have five different compartments. One for each of your fingers and your thumb.
If you want to take your knitted mittens to the next level, simply create fold over tips for your mittens, so that the wearer of your mittens will be able to expose their fingertips in order to eat, write or grab items easier.
