The Gift of Christmas Crochet Along - Week Two

PATTERN AND VIDEO LINKS WILL BECOME ACTIVE AT 9AM BST

It’s time for week two of The Gift of Christmas Crochet along with Black Sheep Wools!

This week we have two different blocks to make. They are called Give it a Shake and Feels like socks! There is also a special bonus pattern to show you how to turn your blocks into pockets.

This week we will be focussing on stripes. If you’ve ever had trouble with losing stitches at the end of rows, I highly recommend watching the video. I’ll talk you through where to place all of your stitches so you get nice straight edges.

Don’t worry if you have just found the CAL and missed all of the build up and week, you can find all of the information, including dates, a yarn list and printable shade cards here. It’s a very relaxed CAL and there isn’t a huge amount to complete each week, so you have plenty of time to be ready for Christmas.

If you would like a kit with all the yarn you need to complete the CAL, you can find them on the Black Sheep Wools website here.

You can download part one of the pattern on the Black Sheep Wools website and I will put it on Ravelry as well if you prefer to organise your patterns there.

Download week two here.

The video to accompany this week’s pattern is on my YouTube channel and you can find it here. The video is also linked directly in the pattern.

If you want some company while making, or need some help, you can join the Black Sheep Make Along Facebook Group. I also have a fabulous Facebook group, Crochet with MadeByAnita and you can follow me on Instagram too.

It’s been a fantastic first week seeing you all bringing the pattern to life. Remember to keep sharing your lovely pictures!
