Merry Christmas in July!
Forget the relentless heat and the blinding sunshine; let’s talk Christmas! After all, six months is the blink of an eye to a crafter. This year, let’s aspire to embodying the true spirit of Christmas, rather than the true spirit of a scatterbrained fruitcake. Purl Soho’s idea of a handmade Christmas is simple: start early, slow down, and make it with love!
A beautiful place to start? Purl Soho’s Winter Wreath. It’s festive, evocative and incredibly elegant. Our Winter Wreath Kit has everything you need to hand-sew your very own holiday heirloom!
The countdown to the Christmas countdown starts now! Create a very special holiday tradition with our wool felt Advent Calendar, featuring two dozen hand-sewn ornaments, sequin and seed bead details and a sweet vintage vibe. Get what you need to stitch your own with Purl Soho’s Advent Calendar Kit!
A tiny village of Needlepoint Houses adds much-needed calm to the holiday scene. These little sculptures evoke winter beauty and domestic peace, the best feelings of Christmas. Purl Soho’s Needlepoint Houses Kit has all the plans and building materials you’ll need to construct your own three-house town!
Merry Christmas in July and happy crafting!

I saw a lovely pattern for a blanket knitted on the diagonal using Double Knit yarn. I can’t find it now on the site. Can you send it to me please or direct me to the pattern. It was free knitted in garter stitch and had 4 tassels on the corners. Thank you. Genny

Hi there, I am trying to find the page with just the pattern for this advent calendar, but the links July take me to where I can purchase a kit. As I have a huge surplus of felt and sequins, I just need the pattern. Can you post the link?
Hi Collin –
The Advent Calendar Pattern Booklet and Kit are both available on the same page on our site. There is a scroll-down menu at the bottom of the page (below the product description) that gives you options to purchase the Booklet (download and hardcopy), the Booklet (download only), or the Kit. The price of the item will adjust accordingly.
