I am happy to announce a Not A Christmas Mystery CAL (crochet-a-long). I called it “Not a Christmas” because Christmas is not here right now, and also because not everyone celebrates it. But nice crochet decorations will add a festive touch to every home.

And “mystery” means you will not know what will be coming next week. I thought I would host this CAL as one big surprise :-D

The CAL will run for 4 weeks with a new pattern coming out every Friday. So in total we will make four decorations (or presents).

Every pattern will use a different crochet technique (overlay, tapestry, brioche and mosaic). The decorations will be small and doable in just one week. But of course you can create many more using the patterns.

WHAT

Four crochet patterns for festive home decorations in different crochet techniques: mosaic, overlay, brioche and tapestry. Great chance to learn something new and join fellow crocheters for online celebration.

HOW

To participate in the CAL you will need to purchase instructions here on Ravelry. The CAL has not started yet, and a pre-order is running right now. First pattern will be added to your Ravelry library next Friday, on November 20th, 2020.

The patterns will be offered at a reduced price during the CAL, and then will be updated to a full price

WHEN

Not a Christmas Mystery CAL will begin next week, on Friday November 20th, 2020. And then every new pattern will be released on a weekly basis.

WHO

Everyone who loves crochet, know basic stitches and wants to learn something new.

WHAT YOU NEED

To participate in the Not a Christmas Mystery CAL you will need yarn, hook, and your happy mood :smiley:

I have opened my Scheepjes Catona pack with 100+ mini skeins (10g each). Those tiny babies are perfect for small crochet projects. And you also have lots of colors to choose from and to combine.

Every pattern will use just 2-5 skeins (10g). Some of them will use just leftovers from previous skeins. If you don’t plan to make many decorations, then 15-20 x10g skeins in different contrasting colors will be enough.

You will also need 3 mm and 3.5 mm crochet hook, yarn needle, a button, scissors and stuffing. And beads (optional). Everything will be revealed during the CAL.

Hope to see you in a week!
