Amigurumi Advent is back for another year of crochet fun!

Are you ready for a new crochet adventure with Irene Strange and Ilaria Caliri? Amigurumi Advent 2025 MCAL is back for its 8th year of mini amigurumi fun! This December join us for a brand new mystery crochet-along and unwrap a cute crochet surprise every day until Christmas Day.

Is this the first time you hear about the Amigurumi Advent MCAL? Have a look at the FAQ page or browse our previous collections on here, you’ll find the photos of all the mini patterns together! Every year there is a new theme and brand new original crochet pattern collection!

For this year’s collection, we were inspired by magical snowy village markets,

delicious winter feasts and the spirit of friendship! The bonus pattern is the Festive Tree Stack - the lower tiers can be filled with sweets, mini projects or other surprises!

We will reveal the mini collection day by day, advent calendar style, starting on the first day of December all the way to Christmas Eve.

Join us today to receive the crochet pattern to make the Festive Tree Stack, introduction to the MCAL and a stitch guide for the project.

- What yarn will we need?

For this MCAL we are using Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK (100% cotton, 50g/125m/127yds), it’s a nice thickness for making Amigurumi. You can find it on Lovecrafts.com*.

Please note the yarn is not included with the MCAL pattern and needs to be purchased separately.

For the regular size Festive Tree Stack you will need around 60g of DK weight cotton (approximately 10g white, 20g light green and 30g Pine green). To make the Festive Tree Stack in Aran-weight cotton allow 100g of yarn (approximately 15g white, 35g light green and 50g of Pine green). We used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran (100% cotton, 50g/85m/93yds) to make the sample.

This is the yarn list to make the 24 surprise amigurumi:

White (Champagne White 403)

Light Green (Pistachio Green 425)

Pine Green (Pine Green 467)

Beige (Light Caramel 409)

Brown (Soft Fudge 410)

Pink (Vintage Pink 456)

Yellow (Daffodil Yellow 422)

Light Blue (Duck Egg Blue 436)

Blue (Dolphin Blue 437)

Of course you are welcome to use a different yarn! This is a nice stash-busting project, as small makes don’t need as much yardage. This year's collection will look great in all kinds of colour combinations!

*Affiliate link. You buy at the same price and we will get a small percentage. Thank you!

Will the MCAL be available on Lovecrafts.com this year too?

This year we will not be hosting the MCAL updates on Lovecrafts.com, as there are unpredictable delays with the update system that could lead to customers missing out on the daily surprise.

But we will upload the completed eBook there as soon as the MCAL is finished!

Can I use a different yarn?

Of course, dive into your stash or follow one of our suggested palettes in the Introduction document.

You can mix different brand of DK cotton yarn if some colours are not availabe in your preferred shop – or if you already have some of those colours in your stash!
Please note: we do not recommend making the Festive Tree Stack in acrylic yarns as they lack the structure cotton yarn gives to unstuffed amigurumi. can add.

For a larger Tree swap for n Aran weight cotton yarn and 3.5 - 4.0 mm crochet hook!
You will need approx 15g of white, 35g of light green and 50g of Pine green.

Can I use a different hook size?

Depending on your yarn or your crocheting style you may need to change to bigger or smaller hook size, find one that works best for you!

What patterns will there be?

The Festive Tree Stack (an unstuffed tree you can fill with anything you fancy!) and 24 mystery pattern surprise through out the advent weeks. All projects are designed to be fun and quick to make, take a look out our past collections to get an idea of the variety!

Do I have to make all the patterns in the MCAL?

You are welcome to make all of the daily patterns or just your favourites – it’s totally up to each maker! We hope you will enjoy this merry adventure and crochet at your own pace.
