| Show mom how much she means with a stylish gift from the heart made with your own hands.  Become an I Like Knitting Gold Member now to get instant access to these wonderful patterns and hundreds more! Dear Knitting Enthusiast, When I was a kid, I was always so excited to give my mom a handmade Mother's Day gift. Usually that meant something I'd colored the day before. She would hang it on the refrigerator and praise my artistic endeavors. I'm happy to say that my gift-giving has grown up with me, though I still get excited to make a hand-knitted shawl or tote for Mother's Day. In the spirit of celebrating all that moms do, we put together a collection of some of our favorite handmade gifts for mom in The Mother's Day Knitting Collection. You'll find 18 patterns here from stylish favorites to projects you can personalize just for mom. From soft wool socks to classic shawls, here is a look at some of the patterns in The Mother's Day Knitting Collection.  Inspired by gentle ocean waves, the Gentle Waves Lace Shawl, from designer Lana Jois, features a lace pattern that highlights the beauty of the yarn you use. This pattern features 100% silk yarn in soothing lavender, but this one-skein design will look great in any color. This shawl is knit sideways with an increasing width up to the halfway mark after which it decreases. Subdued and elegant, this shawl is destined to be a favorite in any wardrobe.  Like the Gentle Waves Lace Shawl, the Violet Buttercup Shawl is worked sideways with an increasing then decreasing pattern. The slender, crescent shape is inspired by the violet buttercup flower, making it perfect for spring. The tonal coloring of the merino wool and nylon yarn brings a unique flavor that never fails to capture your attention. This is a Mother's Day gift mom is sure to love. The Path to Knitting Success The patterns in The Mother's Day Knitting Collection are perfect for mom and perfect for you. These designs are easy to knit, so beginning knitters can feel accomplished and experienced knitters can relax and have some fun. Every pattern in this collection, and in fact, every pattern we publish in I Like Knitting, comes complete with: A full list of all yarn and tools Row by row instructions Special stitch instructions Pattern notes Detailed, full-color photography It really is as easy as possible to create stunning pieces. Check out some more of the patterns in The Mother's Day Knitting Collection.  Colorful and easy to personalize, the Beaded Initial Keychain is a great gift. It's also an excellent way to use up some of that extra yarn you have lying around. And since you can make these in about an hour, it's perfect if you need an extra last-minute gift.  Mother's Day might mean spring, but there are still some chilly mornings and evenings. These Mock Cabled Mitts, from designer Quenna Lee, are warm and soft, thanks to the 100% merino wool yarn. Eyelets and mock cables provide textural interest that's guaranteed to bring compliments.  We love mittens, but feet deserve to be warm and stylish, too! The Mint Teal Leaves Socks are just the thing. This pattern is designed specifically for this beautiful green merino wool yarn, reminiscent of the beautifully rich color of mint tea leaves. The design has a center stitch pattern of stacked leaves bordered by water droplets.  Wool socks will keep your feet happy, but a cozy cowl is always a nice wardrobe essential. Designer Deepika brings us the understated Lotus Cowl. The delicate piece is enhanced by rows of detailed lotus-like lace. It's designed to fit snug, but it's also easy to customize for a longer length. Make Mother's Day special. The projects in The Mother's Day Knitting Collection include classics like shawls and scarves, or fun accessories perfect for anyone new to knitting. And for experienced crafters, you'll find some advanced level patterns that will challenge and excite you. And, naturally, mom will love any and all of them. Quick and fun: For an easy, one-day project, the Blue Echeveria Shoulder Bag is your go-to. Made with silk and wool, you'll love making this just because it feels so good to work with the yarn! Challenging and unique: Even as an advanced level project, the Pistachio Pullover is fun to knit. Plus it's knit top down, so you can try it on as you go. Light and lively: With an eight-row repeat and delicate design, the Horseshoe Lace Scarf is the perfect spring accessory. The sky blue yarn features an airy motif that invokes feelings of carefree afternoons and a light spring breeze. Elegant and simple: If you're new to knitting tops, the Orchid Tee is the perfect place to start. The design is classy and sophisticated without being too intimidating, while the cotton and linen yarn is a dream to work with. Make this Mother's Day special with a one-of-a-kind handmade gift.
