Crochet Advent Calendar 2025 List
Welcome Notes
Welcome to the 2025 Crocheted Holiday Baubles Advent Calendar.
Each day in December leading up to Christmas, we will be creating decorations that you can hang on your tree, add to a present, or use to decorate a wreath. In your Advent Kit you will find 24 numbered boxes and four balls of Cascade Anthem yarn in the colours Cactus, Maroon, Cream and Toasted Coconut. Each box contains a plastic ornament blank that you will cover with that days pattern. While I have used certain colours to create the sample baubles, feel free to choose whatever colour you like each day.
On this page you will find the pattern instructions and a link to a video walking you through how to make that days bauble. Patterns will be released here a few days at a time so you can choose to work ahead a little, or stick to only opening one box a day.
Additional Supplies needed:
5.00mm crochet hook (if you are a tight crocheter you may need to use a larger hook, like a 5.5mm - these patterns are designed to fit snuggly on the plastic forms but if you have trouble inserting your bauble when the pattern calls for it, try again with a larger hook size.)
stitch markers
scissors
yarn needle
ribbon or additional decorations as desired
Most of the bauble patterns are worked in the round and start with a magic ring. If you are not familiar with how to make a Magic Ring, you can access my video tutorial in the link below

This is a fun stitch pattern that results in a criss-cross square pattern. It is similar to one called the Drunken Granny, hence the fun name. If you are looking for other patterns using this stitch, it is actually called the SideSaddle stitch. Enjoy!

There are many ways to tackle colour work and today we will take a look at overlay mosaic crochet. This involves changing colour each row and only working with one colour at a time. The pattern is formed by placing stitches down over the row you've already worked.

Cable work in crochet can be a bit tricky but the results are striking and make it all worthwhile. The Celtic Weave stitch is a type of cable work and lends itself to being worked in the round quite nicely.

The Suzette stitch is the very first stitch combination I learned and one I return to over and over when I need to decompress. It's simple and yet, seeing it on the bauble, gives a lovely texture and movement.

Originally designed to use up leftovers from other projects, the Granny Stitch seems like the perfect stitch to end this advent calendar with.
