Bitmoji of Marly peeking through Christmas wreath - knit and crochet gift ideas for christmas 2021

Once again, we are ushering in December on the tail of another successful Turkey Trot 2021! I don’t know about you, but after Thanksgiving, it turns into the ultimate whirlwind of holiday gift making at my house! While my intentions are all the best, sometimes my plans are just unrealistic (hello, matching family sweaters…oy), and I find myself scrambling like a mad woman or stuffing stockings with IOUs! It’s one of those things where even the best-intentioned knit and crochet gift ideas can go awry.

As a result, it’s good to have a backup plan. These knit and crochet Christmas gift patterns are that backup plan. Or a new plan for getting some great handmade items created before the holidays without wearing yourself out!

My assistant, Cryssi, and I have teamed up with some of my amazing designer friends to help you make your homemade holiday dreams come true with the 24 Days of Quickies with Marly Bird & Friends!

    Hello, it’s not coming up as free on ravelry
    The mittens for today.

    Is there a code I’m not seeing?

    I did click “here” in pink

    Ty!

  3. Maya says:

    The coupon code doesn’t work to get the 25% off. I was trying to get the Christmas lapghan, it wouldn’t work, so I tried it on just the blanket square and it still says its invalid.

  4. Mayte says:

    Thank you Cryssi for putting this event together! I love it! and thank you for all the lovely designers that have been so kind to share their patterns!

  5. Chris says:

    Not all these are free. Attempted to download the free knitting pattern Handmade by Stacy J The Holiday Snarff for a dog. It’s NOT free. The only place for download is on Ravery and it’s $$2.95. Bummer. Then noticed many of these are not free either and appears to be “click bate” so that you will pay. Not happy about that either. Going forward, please quality check the info before publishing to us. Thank you.

    • admin says:

      All of the patterns are free for 24 hours only on the day that they’re announced. Each day there are three new patterns, each free for those 24 hours.

    • Barb says:

      Please go to Marly’s YouTube channel she walks you through how to get each pattern free. Some have coupon codes.

  6. Kathy B says:

    These are great, and they make it easier for you to choose which to make. I also like that crochet and knit are equally displayed.
    How do I get notification of the next day of the 24 days of quickies? I just happened to run across a Marly Bird pattern in my email…
    I would have loved to have seen this a couple days ago with the Prym crochet hooks..

    the December 19 hat by Hooked Hazel with a bulky beanie pattern you’ll love! The picture is correct but the wrong link. I found it on her website. It is CROCHET and BEAUTIFUL.
    http://hookedhazel.com/cross-hatch-beanie/ It’s right on the page. NO CODE IS NEEDED. only good on December 19. please correct the link and that it is crochet.

      Thank you Marly’s Team for fixing the link to the correct pattern. I am so excited to get the crochet hat. It all worked out in the end, I’m sure. I don’t think Marly could do this without you all. Sending hugs and Holiday wishes to all.

    The HookedHazel benie link for 12/19, takes you to a different pattern called Preserve Beanie. You have to google the correct pattern as a Gemsy ad covers up the search bar and menu bar on third website.

    Thank you Chrissy for your hard work in getting us these great patterns and extras. I hope you can do it again next year. One of the things I found out was that by subscribing to some of them, they had more free patterns to get. Not all were pdf’s but that’s ok. Some had resources available to subscribers 🙂
    Happy Holidays to you and your teammates.

    I would like to thank Team Marly, Lindsey and all the designers who participated in 24 Days of Quickies. It was fun anticipating what each day would hold and I enjoyed browsing their patterns. Merry Christmas and safe and happy new year to you all.
