Christmas is just around the corner!
Every year I tell myself I’ll start early — and every year December arrives and I’m crocheting at midnight. 🙂 I’m sure you can relate! So this year, we’re starting now, and we’re starting together.
The Evergreen Collection is five patterns I designed with Christmas gifting in mind. A towel and washcloth set that’s pretty and practical. A cute mug cozy for teachers, neighbors, and coworkers — just add good coffee and a bottle of syrup. A pretty placemat with a matching napkin holder, for a little handmade charm on your table. An adorable wine cozy with the cutest lace-up back, for when you don’t know what to bring. And the Evergreen Blanket, written in 8 sizes, for the people who matter most.
Festive, fun to make, lovely to give. One free pattern at a time — come join us.
How it Works
The Evergreen Collection Free Crochet Along runs from October 18 through November 21, with a new portion of the free pattern released on the blog each week.
You’re welcome to crochet at your own pace — there’s no pressure to keep up, and the patterns stay on the blog so you can catch up whenever it suits you.
All of the fun happens in the Facebook group, where you can ask questions, share your progress, and cheer each other on as the set comes together stitch by stitch.
I’ll be there the whole way, answering questions and guiding you from your very first Stitch to the final row of your blanket.
