Day 1 - Blue Spruce Socks
Designed by Rachel Brockman
The Blue Spruce Socks are a warm and cozy quick knit that will make you want to curl up with a book and cocoa by the fireplace. These socks are also wonderful gifts. Refreshed for 2023, our soft, smooth Uni Merino yarn held double creates a warm, cozy pair of house socks perfectly. They’re quick to knit up.

Day 2 - Aspen
Designed by Adrienne Larsen
Like the beautiful quaking Aspen trees, each cable in this scarf grows out of another – creating the perfect motif to decorate a cozy scarf. Refreshed for 2023 in Yarn Vibes Cliffs of Moher yarn, the Aspen Scarf is great whether you’re hiking along the namesake trees or browsing the stands at your favorite winter market. Either way, you’re sure to feel warm and look suave.
Day 3 - Forest Garland
Designed by Edie Eckman
Whimsical and charming, the Forest Garland conjures up images of a winter wonderland right inside your home. Super-quick and addictive to make, a little yarn goes a long way with this decorative piece. Both knit and crochet versions are included – and the pattern as a whole is beginner friendly, too! Our smooth, supple Cotton Supreme yarn is the perfect match for this project, and the sequins of Cotton Gold are like a beautiful garland decorating the tree.

Day 5 - Illuvia Shawl
Designed by Aubrey Busek
The gentle fall of rain and snow in nature is one of my favorite things. It is calming in the simplest of ways, and it looks graceful and beautiful. The inspiration for the Iluvia Shawl is the way that chilly rain looks as it falls and moves on various surfaces. Working in a variety of stitch patterns, the aqueous inspiration comes to life in this soothing sampler project. We’ve updated this beautiful, well-loved pattern with new yarns and icy hues. Perfect for a contemporary winter wardrobe!

Day 7 - Snow Day Hat and Mittens
Designed by Jennifer Sadler
Ah – the anticipation of a snow day! Snow falling steadily outside, piling on the ground. People excitedly anticipate whether school or work is on – or if you get to spend a cozy day at home. Before stepping out into the cold to take a walk, shovel snow, or build a snowman, you must be sure to bundle up! What could be better than a matching hat and mitten set that features faux-flakes to celebrate a snow day? These mitts are just as warm and cozy as before, but reimagined for 2023, we’ve added a larger size for the mittens and adjusted the yarn to a frosty shade of blue.
Day 8 - Mini Marshmallow
Designed by Aubrey Busek
Celebrate the season with this precious best bud. The miniature version of the popular Marshmallow pattern has been revisited for 2023 in our Bella Chenille yarn and colorful Creative Melange. This huggable toy is the perfect gift for a loved one!

Day 10 - Snowstorm
Designed by Amy Gunderson
Winter storms have a special magic to them – silencing the hustle and bustle and blanketing the world with fluffy snow. Decorated with a geometric snowflake motif, the Snowstorm scarf is lightweight and lofty, yet warm enough to ward off the harshest chill, thanks to the blend of wool and alpaca in our Kingston Tweed yarn.
