🎄New Festive Crochet Kits Are Here | Teddy Stocking, Angel and Santa

December is moving far too fast for my liking and I just haven’t had a chance to tell you about the new crochet kits I have in my Etsy shop! If you loved our previous seasonal ornament crochet kits (like the robin, Christmas pudding, reindeer, Christmas tree and gingerbread man ), this year I’m so excited to introduce you to three brand-new kits that will spread a little handmade magic wherever they hang. Two of them are brand new, fresh off the hook and never seen before, and one is a long-time show and pop-up shop favourite that’s finally landing in the online store.

Three crocheted Christmas ornaments displayed: a Santa Claus, a teddy bear in a stocking, and an angel, all designed for holiday decorations.

🐻 Teddy Stocking – A Mini Surprise Inside

Meet the cutest stocking on the shelf: a soft, crocheted mini stocking complete with a removable teddy – perfect if you want to decorate the tree and maybe let someone adopt the teddy for their shelf or desk!

What makes this kit extra special:

  • A fully crochetable mini stocking, sized to hang neatly on your tree or fireplace.
  • A tiny, removable teddy that sits snugly inside – stitched separately so you can take it out and carry it around or gift it alone.
  • A mini present charm included in the kit, so you can attach a little “gift” into the stocking for a sparkle of holiday fun.

Whether you hang the stocking in December and then pass the teddy on as a sweet handmade gift, or keep both on display, this kit offers twice the charm for one joyful project 🎁

👼 Glitter-Halo Angel

Next up: a delicately crocheted angel, radiant with holiday cheer and ready to bring some festive sparkle to your tree (or home décor).

What’s in the kit:

  • Yarn for the angel’s body and gown in classic soft tones — plus special yarn with a subtle metallic/glittery thread for her halo.
  • A mini bell charm — so the angel can hold her little bell in her hands.

This angel adds an ethereal, twinkly touch to any holiday setup – especially lovely if you’re going for that cosy, handmade Christmas aesthetic.

🎅 Jolly St. Nick

Last but certainly not least: the kit you might recognise from fairs and shows, now finally online; our heritage-looking Santa – with a little extra charm!

With this kit you get:

  • A traditional, slightly vintage looking Father Christmas with carefully stitched facial details for a warm, nostalgic vibe.
  • A cute holly charm to attach to his hat – the finishing festive touch that brings him to life.

If you love heritage Christmas décor, this Santa will make a handsome addition, whether hung on a door, tree, or used as part of a larger handmade display.

All the kits come with the yarn and materials needed including the twine for hanging – no need to hunt for anything. The kits also come packaged in a reusable clear bauble, ideal for gifting now, and once your crochet is proudly hanging on the tree, you can refill the bauble with chocolates, sweets, or a mini surprise to enjoy year after year.

The patterns are all written in UK terms, but shipping is available to anywhere. If you are not sure about UK terms then you might find my blog post British vs. American Crochet Terms: What’s the Difference? helpful.

Last domestic posting date for any of my crochet kits is this Friday 12 December for USA and Wednesday 17 December for the UK. Please shop early to avoid disappointment! I tend to send out orders as they arrive in as soon as possible, but I cannot guarantee how the post office delivery side will be at this time of year!

If you make up any of the crochet kits I hope you’ll share your WIP and finished project photos with me on social media (facebooktwitter or instagram) or as a project on Ravelry – I love to see what you make! And finally you may wish to sign up to blog (below) and / or my mailing list to get a reminder when new blog posts, discounts or new pattern releases are available.

Until next time folks! Happy hooking and keep calm and crochet on my friends xx

NEW Crochet Kit | Pretty Petal Pincushion

As I sit writing this post there is a gentle breeze carrying the scent of freshly cut grass and the sun is finally casting it’s warm glow upon the earth! Spring has (finally) sprung and everywhere you look, hints of new life are emerging – buds are unfurling on branches, green shoots are peeking through the soil, and there is a promise of blossoms waiting to burst forth in a riot of colour. And what better way to celebrate than with a crochet project that captures the joy of warmer weather! Allow me to introduce the Pretty Petal Pincushion Crochet Kit – a delightful embodiment of sunshine and usefulness!

Much like my other crochet kits this one was also released at the latest Crochet Sanctuary weekend where I was kindly allowed to bring a pop up shop,  to share with the other guests, a range of my KCACOUKYarnybobs and Dear Ewe products.

I’d actually had the idea for this pincushion awhile ago; pin cushions are such a invaluable tool, their primary function is to provide a convenient and safe place to store sewing needles and pins, and somewhere to keep them organised and easily accessible during projects. And I’m all for a bit of making it easier for me to find things when I need them!

Also by keeping needles and pins securely in place, pincushions can help prevent accidents such as pinpricks and misplaced needles, ensuring a smoother (and safer) crochet experience.

I wanted my pincushion to be not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing. I’ve always loved sunflowers, they even featured in my room decor; stencilling some as a border onto my bedroom walls in my teens. They are such cheerful flowers and they can effortlessly brighten up any space – perfect inspiration I thought for a pretty pincushion.

❤️ Add the Pretty Petal Pincushion Crochet Kit to your favourites on Ravelry ❤️

Each kit contains everything you need to make the Pretty Petal Pincushion including the pattern and the following items in a drawstring reusable organza bag;

1 ball of 10g Black Coffee (Shade 162) – YARN A
1 ball of 10g Saffron (Shade 249) – YARN B
2 balls of 10g Lemon (Shade 280) – YARN C
1 ball of 10g Forest Green (Shade 412) – YARN D
Shaped log slice stand
10g of toy stuffing

There’s an optional extra of purchasing a premium bamboo 3mm or aluminium hook (US approx. size D/3) if you don’t have one of those to hand, and also a pack of 10 Clover marking pins – which I think are great for using with amigurumi or holding crochet pieces together.

The pattern is written in UK terms, but shipping is available to anywhere. If you are not sure about UK terms then you might find my blog post British vs. American Crochet Terms: What’s the Difference? helpful.

Unfortunately, the pattern for this pincushion cannot be sold separately as it’s specifically designed to fit the unique base provided with the kit.

They Pretty Petal Pincushion kit would make a great gift for crocheters and multi crafters – get yours today and let your creativity blossom!

And for the first time, following customer feedback, I’m also selling just the pattern so you can use your own stash. The 5 page pattern comes in either UK or US terms with full descriptions of any stitch abbreviations. This is classed as an “intermediate” crochet pattern. Intermediate skills refer, in this case, to the ability to read a pattern, follow special stitch instructions and includes increases and decreases.

NEW Mini Crochet Kit | Reindeer Bauble Kit

December is moving far too fast for my liking and I just haven’t had a chance to tell you about a crochet new kit I have in my Etsy shop! I don’t know about you but I could do with another couple of weeks until Christmas – I think I always forget how busy things get at this time of year.

But I do deerly love the holiday season and so I’m going to squeeze in telling you about a new little crochet kit that I hope you will find quite reindeering!

Okay, it might be time to rein in the puns a little….if you haven’t already guessed the kit is for a reindeer hanging ornament. Much like the mini crochet kits I released last year (see all the mini crochet kits here along with a big kit). This one was also released at the latest weekend Crochet Sanctuary where I was kindly allowed to bring a pop up shop to share with the other guests a range of my KCACOUKYarnybobs and Dear Ewe products.

These bauble crochet kits sold out when I was at the crochet sanctuary (though I’ve got some more stock now) and it’s been lovely to see some of the little reindeer that have been whipped up already from the kits.

Whether you’re super organised or more of a last-minute buyer, yule need to make a note of the following dates to ensure your pressies are (hopefully) delivered in time for the big day.

As we have had all the Royal mail strikes here in the UK I feel I’ve had no choice but to bring forward domestic Christmas posting deadlines to Friday 16 December. It’s been a fair old stressful time for small businesses with the postal issues (so please know that we do want our things to get to you as soon as possible but when it leaves us it’s out of our control). However I also want to continue to support the post office as I feel that it’s one of those that if we don’t use it, we’ll eventually lose it.

Need to send abroad? Not a problem – like Santa, I do deliver all over the world, however I cannot guarantee delivery will be in time for Christmas, but a gift of crochet is fun at any time of year right!.

Then as my children are breaking up from school also on the 16 December I’ll mainly be spending some quality time with my family until the new year – though I will be popping on, on Boxing Day as we start our Peppermint Pageant MAL.
