The Advent calendar for knitting

Download, print (you need a black and white printer that prints on both sides) and give away! Your children can paint the pre-printed star pattern and with the matching wool you have a wonderful personal gift for grandma or your best friend.
There is a page of instructions for every day for pure knitting pleasure and by Christmas the pretty scarf is ready. It looks best with heavily mottled wool. The scarf is worked in one piece. To ensure that the knitter has enough wool in case she doesn't stick to the stitch gauge, I recommend giving away 1400m (approx. 200-250g).
The instructions for the Advent calendar are written out stitch by stitch, easy to understand and can also be done by slightly advanced knitters.

You knit from day 1 to day 24.
In some countries Christmas is not celebrated until 25.12.
Therefore day 25 is included as star paper without instructions. You can use it to wrap personal greetings or a small sweet.

In the download you will also find the "normal" instructions, where the border at the top and bottom is knitted at the end. This is recommended if the wool is exactly measured. If you keep to the stitch gauge (28R and 38R plain right) 1200m = 200g

The working method is not difficult, but you should be slightly advanced. knit, purl, decreases and yarn over must be familiar to you.

The instructions consist of charts AND are written out stitch by stitch. So you can decide for yourself what you prefer to work with.

ca. 45x170cm

1200m (=200g) of wool in any composition. I used hand-dyed Filisilk (70% wool / 30% silk) from Stefis Wolle and needles 3mm.
