Calm Christmas Eve Knits & Festive Mini Makes
Calm Christmas Eve Knits & Festive Mini Makes
The final run-up to Christmas can feel like a whirlwind — last bits of wrapping, last trips to the shops, last checks that everyone has a little something to open. Among all the bustle, it’s lovely to carve out a quiet pocket of time to sit down with some yarn, breathe, and enjoy a calm Christmas Eve knit.
This week’s post focuses on small, joyful projects that are perfect for Christmas Eve itself, for last-minute gifting, or for adding that extra touch of handmade magic to your home. Our Pattern of the Week is the Little Christmas Pudding Knitting Pattern, with 20% off using code PUDDING20 until Monday.
Alongside it, we’ll be enjoying the Little Reindeer, Holly and Little Christmas Tree patterns — plus a closer look at the Christmas Mini Collection Bundle for those who’d like the whole set in one go.
Pattern of the Week: Little Christmas Pudding
The Little Christmas Pudding is plump, cheerful and instantly recognisable. Perfect for place settings, stocking fillers or mini mantel displays, these puddings knit up quickly in DK yarn and are ideal for Christmas Eve crafting.
Little Reindeer, Holly & Little Christmas Tree
These festive minis work beautifully together to create small winter scenes around your home — on shelves, mantels, windowsills or tables. They are quick to knit, easy to personalise, and perfect for last-minute handmade touches.
The Christmas Mini Collection Bundle
If you’d like a coordinated set of small festive knits, the Christmas Mini Collection Knitting Pattern Bundle brings several of these patterns together in one handy download — ideal for calm Christmas Eve making.
