Jingle bells… jingle bells… jingle all the way!
I can already hear the Christmas carols, smell the cinnamon in the air, and imagine this year’s tree all adorned and decorated with twinkling lights and and glittering bulbs.
It’s such a joyous time of year!
I especially love all the fabulous holiday crochet projects that liven’ up the home decor, spruce up the tree, and of course add some festive style to my winter wardrobe!
Let’s Countdown to Christmas!
It may be October, but folks, Christmas will be here before you know it.
It’s the time of year when families gather, children open presents with glee, and just about everything seems to sparkle!
The world seems full of color and happiness seems infectious.
I think of vivid strands of ribbon, the delicious scent of pine, and softness of a fresh winter snow.
And you know what else I think about?
All the holiday crochet projects!
I mean it!
Blankets, potholders, cowls, shawls, cup cozies and more – each designed with a different holiday delight!
Crochet projects such as these are the perfect way to prep for the Christmas season.
This post was originally a blog hop called the Countdown to Christmas hosted by my good friend Sarah from Ned & Mimi and myself.
It was fabulous blog hop where our fellow designers shared the very best of their holiday crochet patterns – each one a wonderful Christmas gift and/or sure to get you in the Christmas spirit!

Thank you all for the beautiful designs. And the fact that you all shared them with us, especially when money is tight all the way around. Beautiful Christmas and selfie projects are started early this year. Thank you again! ❤😊😘😊❤

Karen,
Thank you so much for such kind words. I will pass them on to all the designers and I know that all of us appreciate it. There are struggles all over the world at this time. As crochet designers, our patterns, shops, websites, etc. are our livelihood and we are doing our best to find the balance between the need to earn an income and the desire to serve our crochet communities. Although not everyone enjoys the blog hops, I do feel that we are succeeding in our mission.
I am so glad you’ve found value in our efforts and wish you all the best. 🙂
Sincerely,
RaeLynn

Took me a while to get today’s cute Cheeky Elf. Most every coupon code has been with no spaces in between the code words, where as CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN has a space! Once I went back and copied the code then pasted it, it worked. I was looking forward to this one in particular to make for my cute, elfish great nephew Jake, since he looks like the elf. Anyway, all’s well that ends well (even if you hate for free patterns to end!!) Thank you SO MUCH for all the great patterns!!!
Itchin4Stitchin
Hi Claudia,
You know, I didn’t even realize that! Each designer creates her own code and I didn’t think about that space in her code! Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will make sure the designers don’t put spaces in their codes from here on out. I do apologize for the inconvenience! I am so glad you were able to figure it out!
Sincere thanks,
RaeLynn

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the blog hop! It’s something that I look forward to every day. I know these patterns are WORK to put together, and cannot express my gratitude to all the designers for their generosity. Honest moment…how ANYone can find something to complain about here is a little baffling. I mean really. Guess there’s one (or two) in every crowd, or maybe 2020 has zapped them and their manners, but shwhew. Please know they are DEFINITELY the minority…
Itchin4Stitchin
Roxanne,
I cannot tell you how grateful I am to receive your comment. I know that I and all the designers involved sincerely appreciate it. You are right it is a lot of work, but we are happy to do it, especially in these hard times. I know that lot of people have lost their jobs because of the world situation, are on a limited budget, or are simply stuck at home and need something to keep them busy or their minds off their worries.
It is for them and people like you who appreciate our efforts that we do these events. THANK YOU!
I do hope you’ve grabbed lots of great patterns in the blog hop and if you ever have a problem getting any of the patterns, please contact me right away and I will make sure you get it!
Sincere thanks, 🙂
RaeLynn
Sally
This is too much of a hassle looking for codes every day.
Itchin4Stitchin
Hi Sally,
Fortunately, I get about 5 times more thank you’s than I do complaints about the blog hop. Most people are very happy to get so many patterns for free, even if it means a little extra work on their part. A lot of people even enjoy the process! However, I am aware that blog hops are not for everyone. Some do in fact prefer not to jump from post to post each day. For those people, we (all the crochet designers involved) have graciously put together a bundle of all the patterns that you can purchase for a very low price. Additionally, we are also doing a giveaway with this particular event so there are multiple ways in which those who do not want to participate can still get the patterns.
Best wishes,
RaeLynn
Barbara Eubanks
Because of my schedule I can’t get any of the patterns I’d like. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has a work over load because of the pandemic. I work 12 and 14 hours a day and drive 2 hours to work and then it takes me 3 to 4 hours to get home. And I have had a hard time getting the codes also.
Itchin4Stitchin
Hi Barbara,
I am so terribly sorry that we cannot accommodate everyone with the blog hop hours. In an attempt to do so we have already: 1. Provided the codes for 24 hours, with an additional 24 hours for those who do not catch it the first day. 2. Have put together a bundle for purchase for those who do not want or cannot do the blog hop. and 3. We are doing a giveaway at the end of the blog hop to provide an extra chance for you to win the entire collection for free.
I so sincerely hope you’ve put your name into the giveaway – you can enter as many times as you like!
Best wishes,
RaeLynn
Diana
Where is the download button to put the code in to get the pattern????
Itchin4Stitchin
Hi Diana,
If the pattern is still available during the blog hop, the coupon codes are listed directly above the pattern images.
Best wishes,

Lori FitzgeraldLeger
I can’t seem to find the coupon code for the patterns, can you help me?
Itchin4Stitchin
Hi Lori,
You just need to scroll down to the pattern you are interested in. If the PDF is still available for free the coupon code will be directly above the pattern photo.
Thanks for stopping by!
Sincerely,
RaeLynn
