You’ve asked. You’ve waited. And now it’s finally time for the big reveal of the SweetGeorgia 2022 Advent patterns! This past season, we offered two yarn weight kits, and each kit contained two different pattern options for the maker (double the fun if you’re multicraftual!):
- The Fingering eight set contained knit and crochet shawl patterns
- The DK weight set contained knit and crochet cowl patterns

Save the Date
We want you to save the date for our next make-along! Throughout the month of February, we’re aiming to squish closer for a little togetherness… by using more than one strand of yarn in our projects. Our February Hold-Along is all about multi-strand knit, crochet, and weaving projects. Whether you choose multiple strands of different fibres or colours, it’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with gauge, drape, and pattern.
We’re working on fun ideas in the coming weeks, so look for more details soon on our February Hold-Along.
