How the 2022 Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along Works
Every Monday and Thursday from October 3 through December 15, 2022, we’ll share a free crochet pattern by a different designer. Each pattern will be a one-skein project, or a stashbuster/scrappy project, so you can work from your own existing yarn stash to make a great winter holiday gift, decoration, or wrap. If you’d like to go ahead and buy some yarn just for the project, we won’t stop you! We love yarn as much as you do.

This is our eighth annual Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along! If you want more project inspiration, be sure to check out the patterns from our previous Holiday Stashdown CALs.
