Just a few more days until December! The month many of you have been looking forward to—and one where you won’t have a chance to get bored. That’s because our popular Advent CAL is back—yes! In this “best of” edition, we’ll be working on some of the best Christmas patterns from our previous Crochet Alongs, and you’ll also discover new patterns. Counting down to Christmas has never been this much fun!
From December 1 through December 24, a new pattern will be posted on this blog every morning around 11:00 a.m. This time, instead of hanging the crocheted Christmas decorations on a pretty star or a Christmas tree, we’ve used a festive branch as our base. And you can already make the first pattern from the Advent Calendar! You can download the pattern for the XMAS letters right here. Happy X-mas!
