Gift Mystery Make-a-long 2024

Welcome to Gift Mystery make-a-long (MAL). It has become a tradition to host a mystery make-a-long at the end of the year, and this is our 5th (!) event. Same as for the past years, I have designed 4 mystery patterns in different techniques: overlay, tapestry and crochet short rows. All patterns are new, exclusive for this MAL and were never published before! 

What is Gift Mystery Make-a-long about?

The Gift Mystery make-a-long is about crocheting small and cute holiday decorations which will make perfect last-minute gifts for your friends and family. 

Being a crafter myself, I understand that this is a busy time of the year for crafters, and it is not easy to squeeze new projects on your to-do list. That’s why I tried to keep the MAL projects small and doable in just several evenings. And some of the patterns can be extended to bigger projects, too. 

But being small, they are also very effective. 

Each pattern will use a different crochet technique, and the patterns will come with full written instructions, detailed photo-tutorial and video tutorials explaining the techniques. 

The Gift Mystery make-a-long ebook includes 4 patterns, which will be revealed one by one every week. Purchasing the ebook once, you will get access to all 4 patterns which will be added to your Ravelry library on the weekly basis (on Wednesdays). 

Where can you find the patterns?

The MAL has not started yet. Right now, a pre-SALE is going on Ravelry. The patterns are bundled into an eBook. When purchasing a Gift Mystery ebook HERE, you will receive an introduction pdf with details about how the make-a-long will be hosted. No actual pattern will be added just yet. 

You will receive a notification when the first pattern is published and added to your Ravelry library on November 27th, 2024. 

The Gift Mystery make-along will run for 4 weeks and the ebook will stay at a special price during this period. After all 4 patterns are revealed, they will become available for purchase separately, and the ebook will be listed at a regular price (without introductory discount, so be sure to grab your copy in time). 

For now, the patterns will be available on Ravelry only. And after all four projects are revealed, they will be added as stand-along patterns on Etsy, too. 

Which materials will you need?

To make the projects from the Gift Mystery make-a-long, you will need leftovers of yarn from your stash, a crochet hook, scissors and stuffing (for some of them). The projects are small and colorful! 

The gauge is not important for these patterns, and you can use yarn in different weight and colors. 

Where can you receive pattern support?

Although every pattern will include complete information about the crochet technique with progress step-by-step pictures and video tutorials, you might still have questions.
