How the 2024 Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along Works

From September 30 to December 12, every Monday and Thursday, we’ll share a free crochet pattern from 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 or use up the bits and bobs left over from your bigger holiday makes. You’re always welcome to buy yarn too because who doesn’t love adding to their collection? You can never have too much yarn, in my opinion!

This is the tenth annual Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along! If you want more project inspiration, you can check out the patterns from the previous Holiday Stashdown CALs:
