Saint Nick and His Turtle Doves Crochet Pattern and Assembly Videos!

Available in the Holiday Issue #61 of Crochet Now magazine on sale now!

Do you see Santa on the cover? Isn’t he cute?

When Crochet Now put a call out for us designers to design a pattern for their holiday issue, I jumped at the opportunity to work with them again!

You’ll remember that they had featured Whimsy & Flit in their Issue #59 along with a lovely interview and review of my book, Wishweaver. It had been such a pleasure to work with them, and hold their beautiful magazine in hand.

So, I dove into my yarn stash and found some Christmas colors, bells, and my holiday spirit, and got to work.

To my delight, my Santa pattern was chosen and here we are!

The pattern will go up for sale in my LoveCrafts, Etsy, and Ravelry shops early next year, but in the meantime, you can purchase the magazine and make it for this year’s holiday season!

If you know an avid Santa collector, or just want to spruce up your own holiday decor, Saint Nick and His Turtle Doves is the perfect project to make! Not to mention he even has a second Woodland Santa Outfit he can be dressed in! I admit that the Woodland outfit is my favorite.

The article comes with patterns to make his wreath and his two adorable turtle doves. The only thing it’s missing is a partridge in a pear tree (okay…okay… bad joke).

Also, if you do get your hands on a copy, just know that the terms are in UK, so it’s helpful to pull up a chart to see the differences in the stitch terms. For example: a US/CAN single crochet (sc) is a double crochet (dc) in the UK.
