the travel knitter

Nine Tips for Successful Travel Knitting (Updated for 2024)

I recently returned from a road trip with my little family, and it was my first chance to get in a decent amount of travel knitting in a while. My husband and I traded off driving duties, but whenever I wasn’t driving, I was knitting in the passenger seat.

Knitters talk a lot about how to take our work with us when we travel and joke about how chaotic it can be, but there are some actual concrete steps you can take before you leave to make sure your travel knitting is a success.

Here are some ideas gleaned from 15 years of experience.

For travel knitting, I choose small projects with lots of stitches

Like many knitters, I struggle with figuring out how much yarn to pack on a trip.

She’s a 10, but she packed two months’ worth of knitting projects for a one week road trip. So she’s really a 12. (It me. I overpacked on yarn. Again. I am a real catch!) — Lauren (@BeesInTheBonnet) July 18, 2022

When I have limited luggage space, though, I know I can’t pack a big project like a sweater or a blanket. To maximize my storage and knitting time, I like to pack projects that use relatively fine yarn and small needles.

Things like socks and fingering-weight shawls are great vacation knitting projects because they only take up a little bit of space in your suitcase but will provide you hours of knitting entertainment.

I prefer projects with simple stitch patterns and easy construction when knitting on vacation

When I’m on vacation, my brain is in vacation mode, too. The last thing I need when I’m knitting on vacation is a complicated knitting pattern that I have to think about all the time.

That’s why, when I’m choosing a vacation knitting pattern, I look for patterns that have simple, easily memorized stitch patterns. While it doesn’t have to be entirely garter stitch or something similarly simple, a project with lots of stockinette stitch in between the more complicated sections is an ideal travel project for me.

With the exception of socks, whose construction I have memorized, I like to work on flat projects or projects that have almost no shaping involved. That way, I can still get my knitting time, but I’m not forcing my brain out of its relaxation zone.

Think about the weather where you’re headed: what sort of vacation knitting will work best?

When people think “summer vacation,” they often think of hot places. That’s sometimes true, but not always! On our trip, we went to the Mendocino Coast and the San Francisco area, both of which are notorious for being chilly during summer.

Which is exactly why I chose them.

But this means the kinds of projects I brought would be different from projects I might take to, say, a hot and humid beach destination. Give some thought to whether the fiber mix in your project will be comfortable to work with where you’re headed.

If you worry about dropping needles, try using circular needles while travel knitting

When I first started knitting, like many knitters, I started with two straight needles (Clover bamboo, size 19, thankyouverymuch). As I moved on to other projects, I got more needles, but I kept buying straights.

Until I flew home with my knitting one time, dropped a needle as I was working, and watched in horror as it rolled away under the seats in front of me. I was stuck.

So now I knit almost exclusively with circular needles, and when I know I’ll need to use double-pointed needles, I bring extras. If you’re like me and tend to drop things easily, give that some thought before you choose your needles for knitting on vacation.

Don’t forget to check airline rules re needles (and maybe fly with needles you don’t care about)

We did mainly road trips during the early years of the pandemic, but recently, we’ve gone back to flying when needed, too. Our flights have all been within the United States, so I don’t have relevant experience with international travel or travel within other countries in recent years.

In the past, when I have flown with needles, I check the regulations for my departing locations to make sure it’s okay to fly with my needles. I’ve never had any trouble flying domestically in the US with my knitting needles, but I have heard stories from friends elsewhere who have had needles confiscated.

If you are feeling particularly cautious, you can bring a less expensive set of needles with you along with a darning needle and some waste yarn. That way, if airport security insists that you ditch your needles, you don’t have to unravel your entire project, too.

But here’s a helpful data point: I flew to the H+H Americas conference last June with a full set of interchangeable needles, three full sets of double pointed needles, and several circulars in my rollaboard suitcase. TSA didn’t bat an eye.

I did get searched, but it turns out they were only concerned about the large bricks of fudge I was bringing home.

Bring a small bag of notions in case you need to make a repair

When you’re knitting on the road, things can sometimes go awry! It’s easier to drop stitches when you’re knitting in the car or distracted by fun things happening around you. Sometimes a project slips off the needles in your bag. Sometimes you just make a mistake and have to go back to fix it.

And when that happens, it helps to have all the tools you need to fix things on the go.

Here are the essential knitting tools I always carry. They’ve definitely saved my behind a time or two when I was vacation knitting.

Put Your Travel Knitting in a Small, Separate Bag

When you travel, you’re often carrying a lot of things all at once. If you’re like me, that means your purse or backpack is more full than it usually is. That, in turn, means there are more things to snag and spill on your knitting.

Which is why you don’t want to just dump your WIP into that purse or backpack.

Instead, try to put your project into some sort of project bag. It doesn’t have to be an actual project bag. One of my favorites is a waterproof pouch I got from The Honest Company 7 years ago when I ordered a bunch of diapers (we can talk another day about how I feel about marketing to first-time moms and how often it plays on their fear and sense of guilt). I also love Ziplog gallon bags for small projects like socks and hats.

Whatever you choose for your knitting bag, the goal is just to have a smaller bag that can be tossed into your larger bag. That way, you can protect your knitting while you adventure.

Check for a Yarn Shop at Your Destination

When I travel, I love to buy a souvenir skein or two. That’s when it helps to know where your nearest yarn shop will be while you’re on vacation. This can also be handy if you somehow run out of yarn while traveling (never say never!).

I like to take the address of wherever we’re staying, punch it into Google Maps, and then search that same area for a yarn shop. Then I can use the results to figure out whether a shop is nearby and, if so, how I can get there via car or public transit. It’s good to have options.

The neat thing about visiting yarn shops while you’re traveling is that you can often get yarn that isn’t available where you live. I love buying special yarn that is local to where I’ve been traveling. It’s a neat way to remember my adventures.

Related: if you know you’re going to buy some souvenir yarn, make sure to leave a little extra suitcase space when you’re packing.

Choose a Digital or Printable Pattern

When you’re traveling, every bit of space and weight in your luggage matters, so you don’t want to be hauling around physical books. Instead, go with a pattern that’s entirely digital and accessible on your phone/tablet, or print out a single pattern that you can carry with you. These will be more portable and will leave room in your luggage for more souvenir yarn.

And room for more souvenir yarn is always a good thing.

I modified Noodlehead's Road Trip Case to accommodate knitting gear specifically for when I'm traveling. In addition to the essentials you linked to, I pack highlighter tape, couple of mechanical pencils, and a notebook to keep track of where I am on a project. I can't stare at a screen all day without my eyes begging for mercy!

Monday 8th of August 2022

@Lauren Rad, I see a sewing machine in your future...

I've never seen the Noodlehead case until now and holy moly, that is both brilliant and adorable. I'm going to have to learn to sew, aren't I?

I also love to knit on vacation. My best new thing is a clear vinyl bag with a zipper that came from the packaging for some curtains I bought! I keep all my crochet hooks for dropped stitches, measuring tape, scissors, tapestry needle, DPNs, the works! And it’s clear so I can find what I need, super sturdy so nothing pokes through, and it was free! I keep it in my knitting tote. Ready to go anytime!

I love this! I've been a big fan of the gallon Ziploc, but something sturdier would be even better. What a great idea.

9 Travel Tips for Knitters and Crocheters

The holidays are here and that means that it’s travelling season! For some of us, packing knitting or crochet for a trip can be as important as bringing clothes! Travelling can provide some of the best opportunities for uninterrupted knitting or crocheting time. But these crafts involve a little bit of planning to take the show on the road. Here are some tips for travelling with your knitting or crochet!

2. Keep it Simple…or Not! When deciding on the complexity of your project, each trip is different. Ask yourself a few questions about your travels: Will you be able to devote your attention to intricate cables or should you stick to a stockinette stitch project? Will you be bored working on a simple scarf or will it allow you to chat with family and friends? Do you want to bring two projects so you’re prepared for different situations?

3. Know What You Need Now that you’ve picked your project, it’s time to prep. Do a gauge swatch in advance so you bring the right needles or hooks. Take time to ensure that you’ve got everything you need for your project because you won’t able to pop into a craft store if you’re boarding a trans-continental flight! Read over your pattern so that you understand all of the techniques involved. Be sure to pack all of the yarns and notions required to complete your work.

4. Leave the Good Stuff at Home Even if you’re careful, things happen! Losing something you’ve worked hard on can be heartbreaking but it’s even worse if your favorite set of needles or antique scissors go astray as well. Your time and effort is irreplaceable but those handmade crochet hooks cost a pretty penny. Plan for the worst: Bring less expensive supplies and yarns, just in case you become separated.

5. Make a Travel-Sized Notions Case Use an empty tin (like the ones those famously strong mints come in) to store notions. Fill it with a tape measure, tapestry needle, stitch markers, and whatever else your pattern calls for. This kit is a great size to fit in a small project bag or even your purse and everything is together in one place.

6. Dental Floss is the Traveler’s Best Friend! A travel-sized dental floss can be incredibly handy on the go. The blade can be used to cut yarn and the floss can become an improvised stitch holder or even a stitch marker in a pinch!

7. Carry Extras Back ups are key! It’s always a good idea to pack away an extra crochet hook or set of knitting needles just in case one goes on its own adventure. You won’t regret printing out a second copy of your pattern, either! If you like to keep your patterns on your smartphone or another electronic device, bring a printed version in case you run out of battery!

8. Knitters, Use Circular Knitting Needles Circular knitting needles may not be your favorites but their flexibility makes them perfect for packing. You can use them the same way you’d knit with straight needles but you won’t bump your seatmate’s elbows. For projects knit in the round, the magic loop method can save you from bringing double pointed needles on your trip. Those double pointed sock needles love to run away!

9. Locate Your Nearest Local Yarn Shop While you may not need to make an emergency trip to the yarn store, it’s always fun to pop into the local shop when you’re traveling. For a list of stores where Lion Brand is carried, search here. If you’re somewhere unfamiliar, a local shop can give you a feel for the scene and the regulars are sure to have recommendations for places to visit in the area. Besides, it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you can always connect with a knitter or crocheter at the yarn shop!

What are your favorite patterns to make on the road? What tips do you recommend to make travelling easier?

Disappointed not to see any recommendations for wooden needles and to make sure you leave your scissors at home if you’re flying. That’s a sure way to lose your supplies!

geraldine handa

I bring my small scissor with me along with lots of knitting needles and never get question.

I’ve never had an issue with scissors or metal hooks or needles on a flight. Bring child safety scissors

Really? I’m always so afraid to lose my needles/hooks since I lost a crochet hook that slipped through a small hole in the lining of a bag. I didn’t realize I even had it with me and thought I’d long lost it. They found it and then… They took it away! Maybe it looked extra suspicious because it was tucked away in between the lining of a bag. I’ve searched airline websites for guidelines, but nothing ever mentions needle craft supplies. I was pretty upset to have my crochet hook confiscated when people are allowed to board with metal tipped umbrellas! Which one looks more like a weapon!?!?

Maybe they didn’t know what ti was? Was it an international flight? I know those have different rules. The TSA rules are here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/transporting-knitting-needles-and-needlepoint

I’ve had over zealous TSA agents question and contest things (baby foods) that were actually allowed. In one case, I had to ask for the supervisor. I can definitely see a TSA agent not knowing what a crochet hook is and being confused, but they are allowed on US domestic flights on all airlines I’ve been on (Delta, Southwest, American, Continental, Jet Blue)

I travel with my 1.5mm crochet hook and embroidery scissors. I put them in a baggy like I do my liquids and pull them out of carryon to go thru xray. Never ever questioned. TSA website says scissor blades have to be less then 3 inches. They have a section of allowable items for crafters.

Just got back from a short domestic plane trip. I took wooden knitting needles and a couple of small balls of yarn. Stuffed them in my pocket, I didn’t even take a carry-on bag (good reason for that, Spirit Airlines) Worked on a fairly simple scarf for which I made up the pattern anyway. Easy, no hassle and if everything was lost or confiscated, it’s no big loss.

Ziploc bag dedicated to each project (assuming it fits). Zip it up with whatever hook or needle plus that altoid tin. You can carry the whole thing in your project bag (plus other ziploc with other projects), and things stay nice and organized. Plus, it’s waterproof, dirt proof, and the zip makes it so you don’t have to worry about stuff falling out. I use gallon size ones. I bring metal hooks and child safety scissors and never had an issue on a flight

Becky Bridges Martin

At one airport, an over zealous TSA agent confiscated my inch long scissors claiming that I could take over the plane (really?). Since then I pack an empty dental floss container because the blade works well or small fingernail clippers.

When flying back home from the Bahamas they too my fingernail clippers…lol…can’t win!

Lisa Wagner

I always have nail clipper with me for this reason. however I not fly since I learn crochet, but always worry they might take my hook. i have One wood one just in case I want to fly without cause problem.

Avoid the “tin”. The metal will trigger the machine The suggestion for zip top bags is perfect because if they search your belongings they can see exactly what is in there. Circular needles are less threatening, if they even realize what they are. After flying numerous times, includes a trip through Boston’s Logan Airport shortly after 9/11, my conclusion is it all boils down to whomever is sitting at the xray machine as your bag goes through….luck of the draw. Happy and safe travels all!

I always pack nail clippers in with my travel projects. The clippers have never been a problem with security, they’re less likely to poke through the bag, they’re super cheap and easy to replace if I loose them and they’re handy for a quick fix on any nail snags I might have. I’ve even started dropping a pair in with any needlepoint project I do because they’re so convenient, and can clip thread ends close without risking damage to the rest of the work

I have a small makeup bag that “lives” with my project bag – it has lots of little compartments for my notions and looks innocuous to the TSA. I’ve flow with projects of all kinds and have not had a problem in years. My favorites? Socks (onlookers are amazed people knit socks), hats in the round (quick to complete with minimal finishing). If you really want to freak people out – rip a project on an airplane! (I had a hand-dyed yarn that just didn’t want to be the scarf I had on my needles – my seatmates were almost crying over my lost work! “As you knit, so shall you rip!”)

Tracey Smith

Was actually hoping to see info on travel restrictions and what types of crochet hooks, and etc were allowed on planes.

A dome-lidded cold drink cup is a handy yarn holder that fits in the cup holder of the car.

What good advice, i failed to read my pattern fully before packing and failed to notice a change in needle size! Very fustrating!

Suzanne Emery Andrews

I’ve never had trouble with scissors, needles, or hooks on domestic flights, and my scissors are pointy!

If you are like me you have a 2nd set of everything. Mail the needed size hooks,needles, scissors to your hotel or wherever you are staying and mail them back home. Take the yarn & pattern with you in your suitcase…

Marcia Brinkley

I had to to to the security office on a cruise ship once to explain why I had tiny (less than 3 in) craft scissors in my checked suitcase. I was allowed to take them to my cabin when I pointed out the yarn and bamboo needles that were also in my bag. I took the same scissors on two more cruises, same cruise line, without any questions.

Carolyn W-L

I’m always on the go – with bamboo circular needles – never lose a needle that way – and the bamboo sails right through the checkpoints – and yes, dental floss can work in a pinch 🙂

Susan Mf Davis

If you travel internationally-no scissors, no crochet hooks (am not a knitter)–I had both confiscated in New Zealand. Their response (because the scissors were very small and it was a 00 hook) was-neither are “ever allowed in NZ or AU.” So there you go!

Wish I had seen this before I went on a cruise. Lost a pricey crochet hook. My favourite one of course.

Tracy Nickels

I don’t travel, If I did I’d bring a book! Leave my knitting and crochet projects home!

You’ve never flown on Lufthansa then. They allow NO-NONE-NADA needles or hooks of any kind on their planes-doesn’t matter if they are wooden or plastic. I’m flying to Prague in July-still trying to figure out what I’m going to do if I can’t knit on the long overseas flight

5 Must-See Vacation Destinations Just For Knitters

November 16, 2022 4 min read 0 Comments

If you thought that knitting was a quiet hobby for introverted people who like to cozy up in a comfy chair and create for hours, you would be kind of right, but not entirely. Knitting can be a social hobby that attracts like-minded people. As knitters, we can inspire and be inspired by other knitters, and we can take our hobby anywhere in the world. 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there are vacation destinations exclusively for knitters and thought I would share my favorites with you.

Tours by Vogue Knitting

If you dream of gathering with your fellow knitters to tour textile mills, embark upon specialty yarn shopping experiences, and learn advanced knitting from guest expert speakers, check out Tours by Vogue Knitting. Just reading about their recent trips got me excited to learn more. 

Cruise to Canada and New England

In 2022, a group of knitters cruised from New York with knitting guest speakers and participated in knitting workshops on the way. In Newport, they toured the downtown area and visited specialty yarn shops. In Portland, the knitters enjoyed a trolley tour that ended at Port Fiber, where they learned about knitting designs and other fiber art. Next was Bar Harbor, where the knitters were given Knit Fit Knits swag and encouraged to knit while walking to tour the La Rochelle Mansion. Everyone knitted during lunch while overlooking the bay. In Halifax, a private five-hour winery and mill tour followed by a tour of a sheep farm proved to be both thrilling and educational. The last day was spent onboard, sailing back to New York while knitting and learning from more knitting expert guests. 

Knitting Through Norway

The trip began in Oslo, where the knitters were given a private tour of Heimen Husflid, Oslo's largest selection of yarn and knitting patterns. Visits to a folk museum, a famous church followed and then knitters learned new skills in a knitting workshop. The next stop was to a fjord in Ulvik where they visited a sheep farm and enjoyed more workshops. The knitters learned to spin yarn from wool, took a day cruise on two fjords, and rode the railway. The next excursion was to tour two famous sweater factories, followed by a private dinner on a local farm. Cocktails, ice sculptures, and more knitting presentations filled the remainder of the trip.

If these recent trips sound like a dream, explore the upcoming trips to Scotland and Alaska planned for 2023 . 

Knitting Traditions Teaching Trips

If you love learning new knitting stuff and you love traveling, combine them together in these knitting vacations. 

Knitting in Italy

One of upcoming trips starts in Rome, then heads to Umbria, and then finally Florence. The trip is typically scheduled in March because it is such a beautiful time of year to enjoy Italy. The trip is jammed packed with wine tasting, cooking classes, museum and farm tours, as well as a few knitting projects. 

Pacific Crossing Knitting Cruise

If you are looking for a longer knitting vacation, you will love this 28 day cruise. Tour Japan, South Korea, and then enjoy a Pacific Crossing Cruise. The trip begins in Tokyo and then extends to Kobe, Koche, Kanazawa, and Fukuoka. Then you will leave Japan and head to South Korea where you will visit Busan. Cruise back to Japan to visit Otaru, Aomori, Hakadate, Tokyo, and Kushiro. Enjoy the Pacific Crossing as you head to Kodiak, Alaska followed by Sitka and Ketchikan. Cruise the Inside Passage to Seattle, where the trip ends. All along the way you will learn new knitting skills, as eight different classes will be presented. 

Craft Cruises

The company, Craft Cruises, has both land tours and cruises. Both types of knitting vacation combine traveling with the joys of knitting and meeting new knitting friends. They even provide additional activities for traveling companions who may not knit. 

The knitting vacations offer something for knitters of every level and include touring local destinations and learning from knitting instructors from all over the world. Upcoming knitting cruises include the following destinations:

• Panama Canal
• Japan and Pacific Crossing
• Polar Ice Caps
• British Isles

Knitting land tours involve traveling using multiple types of transportation and include destinations such as:

• Canadian Rockies
• Mohair Safari

Craft Cruises also offer Kids Cruises if you are looking for a way to introduce your little one to fiber arts.

Ashville, North Carolina

The Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair is a fun time for knitters and is hosted near Ashville, North Carolina each October. Enjoy the fall leaves, food and beer, and the majestic Blue Ridge mountains while attending a hidden gem of a festival. 

Irish Tourism

We were surprised to learn that Irish Tourism offers knitting-specific vacation packages ranging from 6 to 10 nights. One of the most appealing is the 6-night Northwest Ireland Luxury Knitting Retreat . You can expect to visit This Is Knit, Dublin's premier yarn shop, followed by a stay in a luxury castle hotel where high-end knitting workshops are offered. Spa treatments, gorgeous views, and lots of knitting sounds like the perfect knitting vacation.
