How the 2024 Giftstravaganza Blog Hop Works
From November 1st to December 3rd, a new handmade holiday gift idea will be released each day for you to crochet, featuring patterns from talented designers participating in this event. I’ve partnered with leading crochet bloggers to bring you 33 free patterns — one for each day — perfect for gifts for yourself, loved ones, children, grandchildren, your crochet circle, or anyone in between! Best of all, each project requires only 1 to 3 skeins of yarn so you can use whatever you have in your stash.
Each week has a theme:
- Week 1 (November 1-7): Gifts for Home
- Week 2 (November 8-14): Gifts for Women
- Week 3 (November 15-21): Gifts for Babies, Kids, and Teens
- Week 4 (November 22-28): Gifts for Anyone
- Week 5 (November 29-December 3): Last-Minute Gifts
All the patterns in this blog hop are forever free on the blog of each designer. But for each pattern, you can also get a coupon code valid for 24 hours to download that day’s featured pattern as a PDF for free.
We’ve also partnered with some of our favorite companies to get some great prizes for you. Scroll down to get more details on prizes from CozyNorthWoods, Crochet Foundry, Cutpie Studio, GlassEyesOnline, KennyClayCo, KnitPal, Knitter’s Relief Balm, lesliewind, MBT Creates, Unicorn, and Walnut Farm Designs and to enter the giveaway for your chance to win one of 11 prizes by Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
