24 Days of Quickies with Marly Bird and Friends || 2020
You need 24 quick knit and crochet projects for gifts this holiday season? Not a problem, join Marly Bird and friends for 24 Days of Quickies! You will find the perfect quick knit and quick crochet projects right here over the next 24 days.
Here we are stuffed after a great Turkey Trot 2020 Thanksgiving weekend and it is now crunch time for holiday planning and gift making. As a craft lover I am sure that we all have these grand intentions of making handmade gifts for everyone that we know. My list is a mile long.
But, I also know that time has a way of slipping by and before I know it Christmas is here and I still have the toe of a sock to knit or a crochet cowl to make. Rather than stress about getting the perfect knit gift or the best crochet gift made in time for whichever holiday you celebrate, I am here to help!
With the help of my wonderful assistant, Cryssi, we have pulled together some of my favorite designer friends to help you out! Join us in the 24 Days of Quickies with Marly Bird and Friends. A Collection of quick knit gifts and crochet gift.

24 Quick Knit and Crochet Projects
Rather than stressing over making gifts for the holidays enjoy the process and make something fun. Each day over the next 24 days I will take you to a new designer and their super quick project.
Each project in this designer hop has been designed to be able to complete in one day! You heard me right, one day! Great for last minute gifts you forgot about, or when your cousin’s, sister’s, boyfriend’s friend decides that they are coming to dinner too! Pick one of these 24 projects and have it ready in time!
Designer Hop Guest List and Links
Check back here each day to see who the special designer is and get the link to his or her pattern! As a special bonus, some designers will even be doing a LIVE DEMO with me, Marly, on FB or YouTube that day. Be sure to stay tuned for that information with each pattern link.
Again, the link to the pattern will be listed below once the pattern is live so check back here each day!

Thank you all for offering your wonderful patterns for free!
Thanks Marly for remembering us KNITTERS!!!
Thank you for doing these events with many independent designers. I always look forward to these events
as I never would have known about any of these talented people as I am always looking for ways to support
independent businesses.
I love Salena Baca patterns…my number one for sure!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful designs and designers
HELP! Can’t find where to buy purple yarn (Violetta from Onyx Fiber Arts 100% superwash Merino yarn). Does anybody know? Purple is my favorite color! I sent an email to the designer and have not gotten a response. Hope I get some response this way. Thanks.
Thank you so much Marly!
Miss Marly, you are one special banana. You are about to peel.
Thank you for all you do for us Marly!
Thank you to all of the designers for the wonderful patterns!
Thank you for the free pattern. Since I was looking, I bought 3 more! I’ve purchased a lot of magazines in the past simply to get a pattern you designed. I love that you’ve always been so thoughtful about designing for sizes larger than typically tiny models. Thanks again for your generosity. Have a lovely holiday with your family.
Thank you everyone for wonderful patterns! Merry Christmas to you all!
