I was recently clicking through iPlayer when I came across a programme entitled, 'Will it snow?' Yes readers,they have made the most British TV programme ever; a whole hour dedicated to discussing the weather.Will it snow again this year?How can we tell?What sort of snow will it be?How long will it last?Whilst it's not exactly riveting TV,(and the answer to all those questions is ultimately,we haven't a clue)it did show some pretty close-ups of snowy stuff and made me excited about getting all cosy and wintery. So here's a Christmas gift guide that focuses on the cozy and the snug,should we face another snowpocalypse this festive season.

The Christmas Jumper- Once the textbook reject Christmas present, even Vogue has listed festive woolies in their gift guide this year.'Where's me Jumper' is a dedicated knitting site that will make any design you send into them,whilst Common Sons,now stocked on ASOS have the snazziest knits around for the man in your life.

Merrimaking have thought outside the box to bring you the super long sleeved jumper- remember how you'd get into trouble as a kid for pulling your sleeves down over your hands?Not the case with this sweater-take that,mums!

Louise Dungate is the queen of the chunky knit scarf,with the godfather clocking in at an impressively weather proof £320.

If you're planning on just hibernating, then Toast has some of the loveliest homewear around-check out their fancy editorial for inspiration. The ultimate nightwear though has to be the onesie,fast replacing the slanket as the guilty pleasure,indoors-only must have of the season.

Onepiece has some of the best around, we like the nordic prints in their Tradition collection, £140 each.

Take your bed with you to the sofa,the fireside,or in the car with this 'seriously chunky' knit blanket from Rockett St George, or this Horse print sleeping bag from Graham and Green.

And for some warming reading, try a subscription to Oh Comely magazine,the homeliest read around, or log onto Beach Tomato for their Cold Issue.

And if you're having a DIY Christmas, Guardian craft writer Perri Lewis has lent us her failsafe instructions for 'how to knit a hat': Happy Knitting!

Pattern notations K is knit, P is purl, K2tog is knit two stitches together, P2tog is purl two stitches together and anything in brackets means you do the specified stitches the amount of time it says outside the brackets.

The pattern :

You will need 12mm needles

100g of point five yarn (beginners should use even – like my blue hat - rather than knobbly chunky yarn – like my orange hat - as it’s easily to work with)

Thick needle (to sew up edges)

This hat can be made in different sizes depending if you want it tight-fitting or long and baggy.

1. The headband Cast on 36 stitches For a short hat: do 8 rows of k3, p3 all the way to the end (ribbing):

for a longer, baggier hat, increase to 10 or even 12 rows. Always do an even number of rows.

2. The middle Knit 4, 6 or 8 rows of stocking stitch (first row, K; second row P; third row K; fourth row P, etc), depending on how long you want your hat. Always do an even number of rows.

3. The top This part always remains the same, whatever size you want your hat.

Row 1: (K2tog, K4) six times

Row 2: P

Row 3: (K2tog, K3) six times

Row 4: P

Row 5: (K2tog, K2) six times
