2025 Advent Crochet Pattern & Kit (pre-order)

Opening up the individual yarn colours and watching the colours unfold, day by day, will be delightful. The same colour order is in the finished item, so the colour joy continues.

I’ve been working on this year’s Advent Pattern and Kit for months, with lots of ups and downs, and it’s ready to be released!

Normally when I’m designing a new pattern I give updates about it in the Crochet Lounge, seeing it come to life in real time. I’ve kept the details of the Advent Pattern and Kit secret, only sharing brief updates on its progress. I’m bubbling to share the colours, the textures, what it is!

The intention is that every part of the 2025 Advent making journey will be enjoyable – receiving it, opening up the individual parcels, crocheting each part, joining them together and using the finished item.

• a 6m length of a cotton or other non-stretchy yarn / string / rope that’s a similar size to the yarn

about the kit (includes the pattern)

It will be a joy to open the colourful balls of soft merino wool yarn over 12 days. We’ll open up the yarn parcels every second day in the 2025 Advent group, starting on 1st December. The colour order is delightful, and the finished project makes me smile!

• Each the 13 balls of yarn are individually wrapped in a brown paper bag, and labeled with a compostable sticker.
• Receive 13 x 20g balls of Homelea Happy 10ply yarn in different colours. You’ll love this soft merino wool yarn that’s fully grown and processed in Australia. It’s a textural joy to crochet and knit with and feels woolly and slightly thick and thin. It’s gentle on the world we live in with no superwash and no nylon / acrylic / polyester.
• Includes a bonus tool for using leftover yarn.
• Reusable cardboard bag and shipping box.
• Kits will be sent in November so they will arrive before 1st December.
• Includes shipping within Australia.

• scissors
• tape measure
• stitch markers

made in Australia

The yarn is 100% made in Australia with no offshore processing. Most of the yarn in the kits is Australian merino wool (Homelea Happy 10ply) with a small amount of cotton string.

I make each Advent Kit in the Homelea Lass studio, located on a remote cattle property near Quilpie in south west Queensland, Australia and use Australian made components (packaging, bags, labels, boxes, etc)  whenever possible.

I’ll be sharing updates in the 2025 Advent Group, answering questions and helping you crochet the project as well. It’s going to be a fun place to be, and something positive to focus on as we say goodbye to 2025 and welcome in the new year.

Happy crocheting!

With love, Lynda.
