About this pattern
Inspired by the timeless beauty of Scandinavian design, ADVENT CALENDAR celebrates the magic of Christmas, the joy of handmade creations and the traditions that bring generations together. Each little square tells its own Christmas story – add tiny wrapped gifts, sweet treats or little surprises to each day, and turn your embroidery into a family tradition every December.
More than just a Christmas decoration, this is a future family heirloom: brought out year after year and perhaps one day passed down to children and grandchildren. Because the most beautiful Christmas traditions aren’t bought – they’re made with love.
Good to know:
Two ways to make it - as one piece on 14ct aida 45 x 60 cm (finished 34 x 46 cm), or as 25 pockets, each cut from 10 x 12 cm of fabric (6 x 8 cm finished).
Threads - 11 DMC colours, 2 strands. White 5 skeins, 368 4 skeins, 666 3 skeins, 367, 321 and 319 2 skeins each, all other colours 1 skein.
Stitches - 190 x 255, chart over 6 pages.
Ideas - hang small gifts under each date, or stitch it on rustic hessian and hang it from a branch.
Happy Stitching!

Reviews from Anette's Etsy shop.
Designed by Anette Eriksson
I believe making something with your hands changes the way you feel. In a world that constantly asks us to go faster, slow craft gives us permission to pause, create and enjoy the process. Through timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful fibres and thoughtful patterns, I hope to help others discover the calm and joy that making can bring.
Happy Knitting! / Anette
