Christmas Décor Advent Calendars

This versatile 2-in-1 knitting pattern allows you to create charming characters that double as festive Christmas decorations or delightful advent calendars. Perfect for knitters looking to add a unique touch to their holiday season, this pattern features a comprehensive 10-page guide complete with helpful photographs for easy reference. Knitted flat on two needles, this project is designed to be accessible for knitters of various skill levels.

Upon completion, your cheerful creations will measure approximately 16 inches tall from the top of their heads to the base, making them the perfect size for display or festive gift giving. While gauge isn’t strictly important, be sure to keep your stitches compact to ensure that the stuffing remains hidden for a polished finish.

This pattern utilizes Robin chunky snowflake yarn, but you can also experiment with any chunky 12 ply yarn of your choice and explore various color combinations to customize your characters. My pattern allows for the selling of finished products made from this design, whether for charity or by hobby sellers, as long as you include proper designer details with each sale.
