Very easy to crochet and finished pretty quickly ♥

The enchanting St. Nicholas bags have a size of 31 x 11 cm - plenty fits inside!
Also great as gift packaging or even (if you crochet 24 of them) as an Advent calendar ♥

Myboshi No. 2 was used here with a size 3 hook, and Baby Smiles Lenja Soft with a size 3.5 hook

If you’re looking for something special, you’ll find it in this adorably sweet Advent calendar
24 cone-shaped bags in the shape of fox heads—in many different shades of red, brown, and orange—
create a wonderful look!

Catania by Schachenmayr was used here with a 2.5 mm hook
This makes the cone-shaped bags about 19 cm tall and 11 cm wide (at the widest point).

When Christmas and Easter coincide... It’s possible!
Take a look at the reversible doll “Nikolausi-Osterhasi”:

When you turn St. Nicholas inside out, a little Easter bunny girl appears underneath! Isn’t that great!
To crochet this, you’ll need skin-colored, red, brown, and light green cotton yarn (Catania) and some white fluffy yarn (plus maybe some white matching thread), stuffing, embroidery thread, and possibly safety eyes.
You can find the pattern here!

Crochet Pattern Advent Calendar Frau Holle
An Advent calendar that isn’t just opened every day: Frau Holle’s bag is filled every evening, so looters don’t stand a chance and the surprises can be chosen spontaneously.
It’s also great for the family, because each day someone else can fill the calendar; small messages can be left on the door, which cost nothing and are especially personal.

Materials and pattern for Frau Holle

Frau Holle is also very well suited as a wintry door wreath.
The pattern is written without abbreviations.

Money Gift as Christmas Decoration

Santa is doing a big load of laundry, so there’s no time to wrap presents
and there will be money or vouchers instead.
After the sack has been emptied, the picture makes a fun decoration.

Pattern & details for the Christmas laundry

A personal gift that can also be made nicely from leftover yarn. The pattern is written without abbreviations and is suitable for beginners.

A small money gift for St. Nicholas Day or Christmas? With this cheerful reindeer coin purse, it’s sure to be a hit! You can easily crochet the well-known “Rudolf” from leftover yarn (preferably cotton or light fluffy yarn). You’ll also need a purse frame and some stuffing.
Here’s the pattern for it!

With this enchanting Advent calendar you'll give your loved ones a very special treat during the Christmas season!



The little gift bags are made with lots of love and designed completely individually. The pattern includes, among other things, 3 different sizes for the bags—so you can highlight special days in Advent, such as St. Nicholas Day (12/6), Christmas Eve (12/24), or even, as in our family, the occasional birthday ...

Their flat bottom gives the bags a secure stand and at the same time ensures that they offer plenty of space for all kinds of Christmas treats. - And if you'd rather hang the bags up, that's just as easy to do. So you have lots of room for your own creativity!

The pattern comes with numerous step-by-step photos, a detailed description of each individual step, and also a crochet chart for the bottom and the edge of the bags.

To make this, you will need:
  • any yarn in various colors
  • plus a crochet hook in the appropriate size
  • for the numbers: craft felt or any fabric scraps
  • plus matching sewing thread/twine and a sewing needle, 
  • decorative materials as desired, such as beads, trim, ribbon, sequins, buttons, etc.
  • as well as ribbon for tying them closed (approx. 35 cm per bag = approx. 9 m total)

It sounds like more than it is—just use what you have. This is THE opportunity to rummage through your sewing box and various scrap boxes again!

So let's go, grab your prettiest decorative materials and crochet your very own Advent calendar! You can find the pattern and more info here >>>

  • as well as a fork (for the pom-poms)

So make Santa and your loved ones happy and crochet them a set of these cute little hats. You can find the pattern and more information here >>>

With this boot, you’ll have an excellent St. Nicholas decoration for your window!



The St. Nicholas boot is made from photo cardstock and tracing paper and measures approximately 37 x 50.5 cm. The design is cut out directly from the template and doesn’t need to be traced onto the photo cardstock first—this lets you skip that tedious step and start cutting right away. The project is quick and easy to make; you just need to know how to use a craft knife.

My Advent calendar animals are becoming increasingly popular,
there are currently 30 animals to choose from in my shop
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/search?keyword=dadade

You can stand the calendar up or hang it up,
crochet 24 different little animals, or crochet 24 of the same animal,
but the calendar also looks great with a few little animals between small packages.
Whatever your time allows!!
The patterns are kept simple, so they are quick to crochet and suitable for beginners as well



Have fun and enjoy the pre-Advent season
