A few cozy steps, one very personal result
The kit gives the project a clear path: make the crocheted pieces, assemble the pocket layout, then bring the character and calendar details together.
- Crochet the piecesWork from the included instructions and yarn to form the character and pocket pieces.
- Build the countdownAttach the pockets so each day has its own small place for a surprise.
- Add the finishing touchesComplete the face, numbered tags, movable marker and hanging details.
A project for someone who enjoys crochet. The calendar arrives as materials, not a finished decoration.
Details you can see. Pockets you'll actually use.
The raised crochet loops give the character, trees and individual pockets visible depth. Layered facial pieces and contrasting yarn colors make the character easy to recognize from across the room, while the open pocket rims make each day's surprise easy to reach.
- Made by your hands The visible stitch texture and assembled layers let the finished decoration carry the work you put into it.
- Ready for a daily ritual Numbered tags identify the pockets; the small star marker helps show where the countdown has reached.
Fill every pocket with a little bit of your family
A treat is fun. A handwritten joke, a favorite memory or a note that says “movie night” can be just as memorable.
- A note Write something only your family would say.
- A treat Add a small wrapped surprise to discover.
- An activity Plan a game, story or shared holiday moment.
- A keepsake Tuck in a small, lightweight memento.
Give them something to look forward to each day
The calendar gives each morning a simple question: “What's in today's pocket?” The surprise can change with your family, while the familiar character stays part of the room all season.
Keep the calendar. Change the surprises.
The open pockets are yours to empty and refill. Once the season ends, store the calendar and bring it back with a fresh set of notes or treats next December.
Hang it where December happens
The character sits above the pocket grid, so the finished calendar reads as both a Christmas decoration and a daily activity. The hanging components help you display it in a room your family passes through often.
A thoughtful project, with room for your own words
Give the DIY kit to someone who loves crochet, or make the calendar yourself and fill its pockets before gifting it. In both versions, the personal part comes from what the maker and giver choose to put into it.
