I was sitting in Yarnspirations in the late summer of 2017 with designer Emily. She was designing the miniatures for the Advent Calendar. I was so excited about it. I got on board, and it became an unplanned Stitch Along. There were 12 miniature characters and designs that were fun
Introducing a Crochet Along to welcome Christmas with counting down the days with a Crochet Advent Calendar. There are 12 different ornaments, essentially you crochet 2 of each so you have 1 for each of the 24 days.
Each one of the pockets has an ornament inside. The pockets have the dates that are embroidered on.

As the date approaches, you take out the ornament from the pocket and slide it onto the button on the tree. By Christmas, you will have a fully decorated crochet tree to enjoy.
This was designed by Emily, one of the designers of Yarnspirations. I remember sitting with her when she was working through this concept. In the meeting, we talked about miniatures as we have Miniature Pumpkins for Halloween. Emily was so excited about the concept. Designer, Nicole, made a funny joke about calling the idea, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!" We laughed like school girls. Emily eventually finished and the Crochet Advent Calendar was born.
This was a stitch-along project for December 2016. So each one of the videos was presented as a separate unit. The following are all of the tutorials that match this project:
