There’s something extra magical about counting down the days to Christmas, but I’ve never been a fan of the single use, chocolate advent calendars! This year I wanted to make it even more special with yarn and a hook in hand. That’s how the Woodland Advent Calendar was born – a crochet advent calendar pattern filled with nature-inspired decorations and a beautiful wall hanging.

It’s the perfect way to add handmade charm to the festive season, one stitch (and one day!) at a time.

The Woodland Advent Calendar combines a cosy wall-hanging Christmas tree with 24 nature-inspired decorations, each one ready to be discovered day by day.

This pattern includes clear, step-by-step instructions to help you create your crochet christmas tree advent calendar pattern. There’s also a video tutorial to help you with any tricky bits!

How do you make a crochet advent calendar?

The Advent Calendar is designed as a wall hanging with 24 pockets at the bottom.

We start by making the pockets, which are in 3 strips of 8 pockets each.

The back of the pockets and the mosaic Christmas Trees are then made as one piece.

After that we sew the pockets onto the wall hanging, add buttons to hang the decorations on, and add numbers to the pockets.

Finally we start making the 24 individual decorations to go in the pockets.

By 1st December we are ready to look in pocket number one and hang the decoration we find there onto the Christmas tree above!

How to get the pattern

There are a few different ways that you can get your crochet advent calendar pattern.

You can carry on scrolling down and read the pattern for free on the blog in US crochet terms. The blog has ads on it, which is how I am able to offer it for free. Please do bookmark the page and come back to it as you work on your pattern though, rather than trying to print it out. Spending time on this page is how I get paid. You will then need to move about the different blog posts for the 24 hanging decorations.

Alternatively you can purchase a premium pdf version of the pattern, which includes mosaic crochet charts, stitch tutorials, links to lots of video tutorials and full explanations. The premium pattern comes in US and UK terms. And of course, if you purchase the pattern, it is yours to keep, print and make notes on too.

PLEASE NOTE: The premium pattern is a pdf crochet pattern, written in English. It is not a finished project. You will receive a digital download upon completion of purchase.

Included in the ad-free premium pattern:

  • A 41 page downloadable and printable PDF with easy-to-follow instructions in US and UK crochet terms
  • Yarn recommendations
  • Pattern support if needed
  • An accompanying video tutorial
  • All 24 mini decoration patterns + the wall hanging in one place
  • Bonus stitch tips & mosaic chart
  • Instant access (no waiting for daily posts)

Difficulty level is Intermediate.

Tension:

18 sts and 16 rows over mosaic crochet and over exhdc using the 4mm hook = 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm)

To measure your tension, create 1 sample swatch in exhdc and 1 using mosaic crochet. 

If your sample swatch is bigger than the tension given, try with a smaller hook size. If your swatch is smaller than the tension given, try with a larger hook size.

Special Stitches

Overlay Mosaic Crochet

Overlay mosaic crochet uses the front loops and back loops to create a beautiful textured colourwork project. You work each alternate row in a different colour using a combination of two stitches: the single crochet in the back loops only; and the double crochet in the front loops only of the stitch two rows below the current row. The single crochet will always be worked into a stitch of the other colour, whilst the mosaic double crochet stitches are worked into a stitch of the same colour.

Click here to watch a tutorial on overlay mosaic crochet.

Overlay mosaic crochet is worked from right to left (for a right-handed crocheter) on the front of the work only. This means you need to cut your yarn at the end of each row and re-join your next colour in the first st of the previous row to start the next row.

Mosaic double crochet (Mdc)

  1. Yarn over and insert your hook into the unworked front loop of the stitch from the row below the one you would normally work into (it will be the same colour as the yarn you are using).
  2. Yarn over and pull through.
  3. Yarn over and pull through two loops.
  4. Yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops to complete the stitch.

Extended half double crochet (exhdc)

Halfway between a half double crochet and a double crochet, this stitch has lots of lovely texture:

  1. Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch.
  2. Yarn over and pull through a loop. [3 loops on the hook]
  3. Yarn over and pull through 1 loop. [still 3 loops on the hook]
  4. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook to complete your exhdc stitch.

Watch a video tutorial of the extended half double crochet.

Surface Slip Stitch & the Envelope Border

The surface slip stitch will create a border line, which we will then use to crochet into for the envelope border.

Starting with the RS facing, insert your hook through any edge st on the top of your blanket, pull up a loop and pull through. Insert your hook into the next st, pull through a loop and continue pulling this through the loop already on your hook. This is exactly the same as a normal ss, but you are working through to the back of your work and your yarn will always be held at the back. Make sure not to pull these sts tight at all: it might help to go up a hook size for this

Now we have a line to crochet into for the envelope border. Work a dc into each loop of the surface ss along the back of your blanket, following the pattern for instructions at the corners. Work a second round of dc before fastening off. Repeat this on the front of your blanket, working 2 rounds of dc into the 2 loops of the surface ss, again paying attention to instructions in the pattern.

To close the envelope border, ss the 2 sides of the border together, making sure not to pull it too tight.

Watch a YouTube tutorial of the surface slip stitch here

Stacked double crochet

The stacked dc is a lovely alternative to a turning chain. It creates a cleaner, straighter edge for your crochet projects without gaps or uneven edges. To create a stacked treble, simply stack another single crochet on top.

  1. Insert your hook straight into the very first st of the row/round without chaining first.
  2. Yarn over and pull through, then yarn over and pull through 2 (completing a single crochet).
  3. Insert your hook now into the vertical bar of the single crochet st that is furthest from your hook side.
  4. Yarn over and pull through, then yarn over and pull through 2 (completing a stacked double crochet).
  5. Watch a YouTube tutorial here

Crab stitch (or reverse sc)

The crab stitch, also known as reverse single crochet, is a simple yet effective edging stitch that creates a beautifully textured, rope-like finish

  1. Insert hook into the previous st.
  2. Yarn over and pull through, making sure to pull the loop up fully.
  3. Yarn over and pull through the remaining 2 loops on your hook.
  4. Continue repeating steps 1-3 working backwards around your work.

Watch a YouTube tutorial here

BPdc/exhdctog

Yo, insert hook around post of next st from back to front to back, yo and pull through, yo, pull through 2, yo, insert hook into normal loops of same st, yo and pull through, yo, pull through 1, yo and pull through all 4 loops on your hook.

FPdc/exhdctog – made in the same way but going around the post from front to back to front again.

Pattern Notes

Be sure to read through these notes before you start your crochet Christmas advent calendar – they will make it so much easier to understand the pattern!

  • Read through the pattern completely before starting and refer to the stitch tutorials as needed.
  • Be sure to check your gauge for the mosaic section and the exhdc section and adjust your hook sizes accordingly.
  • Stitch counts are given in this pattern in [ ] at the end of each row or round. Where no stitch count is given, it is the same as the previous row or round.
  • Starting ch3 counts as an exhdc.
  • Stacked dc counts as an exhdc.
  • Starting ch1 and ch2 does not count as a st.
  • Make the pockets and wall hanging with the 4mm hook (or hook needed to meet gauge) and the 2.5mm for the hanging decorations.
  • In the mosaic section, you will start each Row joining your yarn with a ch1 and a single crochet through both loops of the first st of the previous row. The last stitch of the Row is also a single crochet through both loops. At the end of each Row, cut your yarn leaving around 10cm / 4″ to be enclosed in the envelope border at the end.
  • There is a stitch chart of the mosaic section in the ad-free pdf version of the pattern.
  • In some of the decorations, you will be required to turn and work back down the other side of the chain. To do this, rotate your work 180 degrees around and work into the other loop of the chain opposite to where you already worked.
  • In others, we work in continuous spirals, which means a round ends without joining and you simply move straight onto the first st of the next round.

Fasten off. Block to measurements. The wall hanging will measure 20 inches wide x 29 inches tall (51cm x 74cm).

Finishings

Tie your ends together in pairs on each side of your wall hanging to secure using a simple knot, and then cut them short (around 1”/2.5cm).

Line up your pocket strips on the bottom of the wall hanging and pin in place. Each strip should cover 8 rows. Using yarn A, sew each strip to the wall hanging along the bottom edge, going through both layers. Then sew up the sides and along each dividing line (made with post stitches). Make your stitches small and neat, so that they won’t be noticeable.

Sew your buttons onto the large tree randomly. These will be where the decorations will be hung so be sure to space them out, so they won’t overlap one another.

Sew your numbers onto the pockets (I did this randomly, but you can keep them in order if you prefer). Alternatively embroider or surface slipstitch the numbers onto the pockets.

ENVELOPE BORDER

Using Yarn A, the 4mm hook, and the right side of the blanket facing you, surface slip stitch loosely all the way around your blanket. Along the top and bottom on the blanket, you will be inserting your hook into the stitches as normal. Along the sides, your hook will go between the sc that we crocheted at the start and end of each row and the next st. Fasten off with an invisible join.

Round 1: Using Yarn A, starting on the back of your blanket, insert your hook into the back of any stitch of the surface slip stitch (this will just be a single loop and can be hard to see), ch2 (does not count as a st), dc in each ss around, making sure you work a ch2 between the 2 stitches at each corner, ss in the top of the first st to join.

Round 2: ch1, sc in blo in each st around, making sc, ch1, sc in each ch2 corner space.

Rounds 3-4: ch1, sc in blo in each st around, making sc, ch1, sc in each ch1 corner space.

Rep Rounds 1-4 on the front side of your blanket, working into the front of your surface slip stitch (which will be 2 loops).

You now have an envelope. Join the front and back parts of the envelope together with a slipstitch join, working with the right side facing, making sure to enclose all of the ends. Join using the back loop of the front piece of the envelope and the front loop of the back piece.

Before you close up the top, insert your piece of dowelling into the envelope border, so that it sits inside the envelope and runs the whole width of the top of the wall hanging.
