Crochet Pattern CAL Kissaia"

The beautiful, festive “Kissaia” star is being crocheted as a CAL!

The CAL is taking place in the Facebook group “Häkeln mit KleinesFeines und barbara-engler”; the pattern will be published in 24 parts as an Advent calendar — every day from December 1 through December 24, you’ll receive one part of the pattern.

The individual parts will be uploaded here on Crazypatterns each morning on the corresponding days—to get the latest version, simply download the updated instructions. The previous parts will remain available until the end of the CAL, so it’s possible to join the CAL even later. Of course, you can still download the instructions even after the event has ended.

In the Facebook group, you’ll have the chance to chat with other crocheters, show off your progress, and we’re always here to help if you need it!

The star doily shown in the photos has a diameter of 100 cm. You can crochet it smaller at any time, or as large as you like, since the rows repeat. I used 1,120 m of yarn for this doily.

All information about the CAL, as well as the materials needed, is included in a separate info file that you can view after purchasing the pattern. The actual pattern will be uploaded on the dates listed above.
