Handmade Advent Calendars + Advent Wreaths

Dear users, dear authors,
since both the Advent calendars and the Advent wreaths need to be finished by Dec. 1 or by the 1st Advent, which falls on Dec. 3 this year, you should probably get started soon. Here in the thread and directly in the shop, you can find enchanting ideas and inspiration for Christmas.
Start crafting now.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough.
Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

How about an Advent wreath in delicate shades of green?
The Woodland Gnome Advent Wreath would be just perfect!

You will receive a detailed 16-page pattern with lots of pictures for an approx. 25 cm decorative wreath in a Christmas outfit, with fir trees, candle stars, and a little woodland gnome.

Also well suited for beginners

required skills: 
The pattern does not include a basic course. You should have knowledge of crocheting single crochet stitches, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, as well as chain stitches and slip stitches.

You will also need:

• Crocheted with cotton yarn, hook size 2.5–3.5, yardage 125 m/50 g in the colors natural no. 105, khaki no. 212, apple no. 205 (1 ball of 50 g each) “Catania Originals” by Schachenmayr, eyelash yarn in green-white (1 ball of 50 g), possibly Brazillia. A small amount in rose.
• Crochet hook size 3.5
• Yarn needle, darning needle, stuffing
• Styrofoam half-ring Ø 25 cm, hot glue gun
• 1 glass diamond size 19 mm, approx. 40 small glass beads
• 2 safety eyes size 5 mm

Is crocheting an entire Advent wreath too time-consuming for you? No problem! This little crocheted reindeer can also spruce up a store-bought Advent wreath and personalize it. It also makes a great keychain, gift tag, or Christmas tree ornament. It’s super easy to whip up using a bit of leftover yarn (e.g., Catania cotton by Schachenmayr).

Crochet Pattern Advent Calendar Mother Hulda

During the pre-Christmas season, an Advent calendar shortens the wait for Christmas; each day a little door is opened with a surprise behind it.
This Advent calendar isn’t just emptied daily—it’s also filled anew every day, making it a wonderful family calendar. Each day, someone else takes a turn coming up with a surprise. Little messages can also be left, and they don’t cost a thing.

Here you’ll find the pattern and more info from Mother Hulda

After Advent, Mother Hulda can still be used as a wintry door wreath, a decoration for the cold months.
The pattern is written without abbreviations.
*******************************************************************************************************************************

This project can be both—it’s actually just an Advent calendar , but with a little tweaking, it can also become a pretty Advent wreath! All it needs are four candles in the center and maybe a few small pine branches for decoration.



The calendar is made from photo cardstock and measures approximately 33.5 x 35.5 x 5.5 cm overall (the space in the center has a diameter of about 17 cm). It’s very easy to make, but it takes time, so it’s best to get started right away.

If you start now, you're guaranteed to finish on time. These pretty little bags could become the Christmas calendar for your children or grandchildren. The bags are quick and easy to crochet from leftover yarn. The pattern also includes a printable template for the stars with the numbers 1 to 24.



You can lovingly decorate and fill each little bag. All together, you can arrange them on a tray or hang them on a clothes hanger. And after Christmas, you can also place the bags on the Easter table—filled with Easter surprises then. And they would be great for the next kids' birthday party, too—each child would get one of these bags filled with little treasures. So many ideas ... now it's your turn!

I hope you have lots of fun making them - Yours, Ina
