The temperature is dropping, and the leaves are falling. It's that time of the year again when we just want to bundle up and stay inside with a cup of hot cocoa.
Last year, I shared a post of 12 Weeks of Christmas Crochet Projects to make in the 12 weeks leading up to Christmas! This year, I thought I'd round up another collection of 12 projects to make for Christmas! Although keep in mind that some of these projects might take you more than a week to complete.
A year or two ago, I learned how to crochet cables! I love the look of the cables as it adds an extra level of sophistication to a piece. I have yet to design my own cabled project, but I love gawking at all the different cabled projects out there on Pinterest.
So I thought I might round up a few of my favorites and share them with you today!
