Advent Calendar Christmas 2018 – CAL

Dec 17, 2018 Wolplein

The countdown to Christmas will be a (Christmas) party with the New Advent Calendar! The base is a pixel Christmas tree—a crocheted wall hanging featuring the shape of a Christmas tree. From December 1 through December 24, you’ll crochet a new Christmas decoration every day! That’s a total of 24 unique Christmas ornaments to decorate your crocheted pixel Christmas tree. Will you join in?

The 2018 Advent CAL is the perfect crochet project for December. CAL stands for “crochet along.” Every day until Christmas Eve, we’ll share a Crochet Pattern that you can use to decorate your Christmas tree. The decorations are all very different, ranging from beautiful and festive to cheerful and funny Christmas ornaments. We’ll share the first Crochet Pattern on December 1.

First, crochet the pixel Christmas tree so you can crochet and hang a new Christmas ornament every day! It will be a beautiful, large wall hanging featuring a Christmas tree created using the pixel crochet technique. The CAL is made with beautiful glitter yarns, fine and colorful cotton yarns, soft Acrylic, and teddy yarn! Make sure you have all the Tools & Supplies you need, and you’ll be all set for the 2018 Advent CAL from Yarnplaza.com.
