The Ultimate 12 Days of Christmas: A Crochet Ornament Crochet Along & Giveaway!

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a festive 12 Days of Christmas Ornament Crochet Along (CAL) paired with a joyful giveaway?

This special dual event is the perfect way to create handmade treasures for your tree while also having the chance to win exciting prizes… even if you don’t have time to crochet along with us!

Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just picking up your first hook, this event is sure to make your holiday crafting merry and bright!

Sonya and I have teamed up to bring you the ULTIMATE 12 Days of Christmas Dual Event!

We couldn’t decide between a 12 Days of Christmas Ornament Crochet Along, or a 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway Event, so we decided to combine the two and bring you ONE awesome event!

What is the Ultimate 12 Days of Christmas Dual Event?

Beginning December 1st and running through December 12th, we are hosting a 2-in-1 event. This single event combines our 12 Days of Christmas Ornaments Crochet Along (CAL) with our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways!

• 12 Days of Christmas Ornament Crochet Along: For crocheters who want to crochet new Christmas ornaments for their tree, or for gifts (and enter to win additional prizes)!
• 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways: For busy crocheters who don’t have time to join us for the ornament crochet along, but who would love a chance to win fabulous prizes!

Do either (or both) of these events sound like fun to you? Keep reading for all the details!

Daily Event Reminders: Make sure that you’re signed up to receive my newsletters and I’ll send daily event reminders right to your inbox so you don’t miss a thing!
