Gingerbread CAL: October/November 2024
Welcome to the Gingerbread crochet along hosted by our friends at Sirdar! This is the sweetest blanket to crochet, with a special, limited-edition woven label, free when you buy a Hayfield Bonus DK kit!

Learn new crochet stitches along the way with easy-to-follow video tutorials from designer Lindsey Newns and create a holiday heirloom to cherish!
Supported by weekly patterns and helpful videos, the Gingerbread CAL is suitable for all skill levels. So join in and sign-up at Sirdar.com to receive your weekly patterns. Starts October 16th!
