Advent and Christmas 2024

Dear users, dear authors,
If you’d like to get a head start on your Advent and Christmas patterns, you’ll find plenty of delightful patterns here in this thread and in the shop. Of course, the authors will also be uploading lots of new Advent and Christmas patterns soon. So it’s worth checking out the new arrivals regularly. I hope you all have fun crafting for Advent and Christmas.

@Authors,
you can feature 2–3 patterns here at a time; each must have at least 10 sales and a conversion rate (CR) of at least 2%, and they must not have been promoted in the forum in the past 3 weeks. Don’t forget to include links, images, and other details. 

If you’d like to have a nativity scene with hand-crocheted figures for Christmas, you could start working on it now so you won’t be too stressed out at the last minute. You can also make great use of leftover yarn: let your stash inspire you!  You don’t have to do everything at once—you can crochet one or two little figures every now and then.

I have three crochet patterns for nativity figures in my shop that you can crochet bit by bit. For each figure, I’ve specified which yarn I used and how much of it I needed. That way, you can easily compare it with what you have in your stash.

It’s best to start with the
Holy Family
. The pattern includes instructions for Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus, the manger, the poinsettia, as well as the ox and the donkey. With these, you can already set up a small nativity scene.

Next, you can then make
shepherds, sheep, and a Christmas angel
. In addition to the Christmas angel, the pattern includes 3 different shepherds and 2 different sheep (lying down and standing).

And as a final addition, all that’s missing are the
Three Wise Men.
They’re on their way with their exotic animals (camel, elephant, and horse) to bring their gifts to the Christ Child.

I hope you have lots of fun with this varied project!


This Christmas winter cape is a truly perfect and very beautiful gift for all doll moms. The pattern includes three different sizes, so the whole doll family can be dressed up for the holidays.

To the knitting pattern

A fun Christmas motif is Santa stuck in the chimney.

With a dishcloth / potholder / coaster / washcloth you’ll put a smile on the viewer’s face.

For knitting, only basic knowledge is needed:
casting on stitches, knitting knit and purl stitches, as well as binding off the stitches at the end of the project.
This makes it manageable even for beginners.

In the pattern, the detailed version describes everything row by row and stitch by stitch . For experienced knitters or dishcloth knitters, the short version together with the counting chart is often sufficient.

If you’d like to give the dishcloth as a gift, you can print and label the bands also included in the pattern. There are various motifs (e.g., Christmas-themed, neutral, with hearts).

If you prefer to crochet, I have a set with 3 different motifs,
which you can make as bookmarks or as bag charms or as pendants.
With them, you can spruce up any gift and have a useful little extra as well.

For all DIY Advent calendars, it’s important to start working on them early enough. This also applies to this little house: Although assembling the individual containers is very quick and easy, the precision work required here will take some time. So it’s best to get started right away!


 
This fairly spacious little house is made of photo cardstock and measures approximately 17.5 x 22 x 20.5 cm. You can find the dimensions of the individual containers on the product page.
