Advent Patterns

It’s almost time to open our Advent kits. If you don’t have a kit then you might want to start going through your stash to find yarn. Here are some pattern suggestions that caught my eye.

This is Ambah’s Passiflora Wrap (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

Knit with us in December 2023 for the 7th year of Ambah’s Festive KAL, choose any of Ambah’s Advent/Festive kit inspired designs featured here, including the Euphorbia Wrap. Join us in Ambah’s Ravlery group here for festivities, fine company, lovely prizes and general knitting joy. 

Enjoy 25% off Passiflora Wrap and all of Ambah’s Festive pattern bundlethrough December 4 with the Ravelry code: FESTIVE25 

The Passiflora Wrap was designed with a festive 12- or 24- colour mini skein set in mind. There are so many possibilities - add colours in randomly, arrange your minis in a gradient fade, or use a main colour and alternate with 12 mini skeins. This is also a perfect way to use up all those leftover yarns hiding in your stash. Simple garter stitch keeps this a mindless knit with an eyelet pattern adding chevron interest; some fun shaping and the regular colour changes will keep you wanting to knit on.

Here are a few more Advent suggestions.

This is Flora Daze by Laura Dobratz (Emma’s mom). You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. I think I might be knitting this pattern with my kit. Think.

Grand Opening is a great looking shawl. I don’t have permission to share the picture but take a look on Ravelry.

Hedgehog Fibres pattern will be coming out on December 1st.

Arne & Carlos are doing a stocking in DK weight yarn. You can download the pattern on Ravelry - it’s free until the end of the year.

This is a Mystery Christmas Stocking in stranded colourwork, with a new chart with six new rounds revealed daily during our Knit Along from December 1- 24, 2023.

You can join in on the fun this year, too, as we will offer the pattern bit by bit for free on our blog. But you must pop in here daily to download your free pattern because once the stocking is completed on December 25th, it will become a paid pattern on our website and all the free charts will be removed. The Knit Along will start on December 1st with the release of the first chart, and the toe of the stocking should be knitted in advance.

I think that you can make the Christmas Stocking in worsted weight (on a slightly larger needle) if you want. Take a look at Cascade 220 Superwash Worsted.

Now it’s knitting time while we watch Holiday Baking.
