Crocheted Christmas tree filled with 24 wrapped candies. The numbered baubles contain a small bell or bead, pushed up inside the bauble. On each day of December your child can squeeze the bauble to pop out the bell, then lift the hinged tree top to take out a candy. Baubles are easily “reset” to use the calendar again each year.

Worked in either DK yarn doubled, or in single worsted weight yarn there is room in the tree for 24 wrapped candies, but the pattern can be worked in any yarn you choose with a suitable sized hook.

Photos of every step should guide an advanced beginner through this pattern, worked mainly in BLO sc.
