3. Are the Patterns Christmas-Themed?

Not in the classic red-and-green, Santa-on-a-sweater kind of way. A Winter’s Tale leans more into romantic winter charm and whimsical magic.

In the knit and crochet calendars, you’ll find elegant accessories with cozy textures that you’ll want to wear well beyond December.

And in the amigurumi calendar? Get ready for enchanting little creatures straight out of a fairytale.

These projects are all made to be loved all season long (and then some!).

4. What’s Inside the Advent Calendar?

We could tell you… but where’s the fun in that? The joy of the Advent Calendar is the surprise – and trust us, you’ll want to keep the moment of surprise for every Advent Sunday!

What we can say is that each calendar includes four beautifully packaged bags, one for each Advent Sunday.

Inside, you’ll find:

Yarn for the project 🧶
And maybe… a little extra surprise or two 👀

The yarns and colors in each Advent Calendar are hand-picked by the designers to make every project shine. Expect yarns you already love – and maybe a new favorite or two!

5. Are the Calendars Wool-Allergy Friendly?

The knit calendar and crochet calendar contain wool.

The amigurumi calendar is wool-free and suitable for yarn crafters with wool sensitivities.

6. Can I Buy More Than One Calendar?

Yes, absolutely! The styles, yarn qualities, and color palettes are completely different. Each calendar brings something fresh to your crafting table.

7. What’s the Skill Level?

Intermediate level is ideal for all calendars – you’ll feel right at home with the techniques and pacing.

Avid beginners are welcome too, but be prepared to invest a little extra time and effort to follow along – luckily, there are helpful video and photo guides for most patterns!

Advanced makers won’t be bored, we promise – with new techniques and thoughtful details, each project brings something fresh to the table.
