Annie’s Christmas Special Issue
Every year Annie’s releases a special issue for the Holidays. In this year’s Christmas Special Issue, you will find more than 50 festive holiday projects to make for the season.
Whether you passion is crocheting, knitting or sewing (or a combination of all three!), there are patterns included for you.
These handmade projects range in difficulty and because Christmas comes every year, you can pull-out these patterns for years to come to make more holiday gifts and to decorate your home.
The contents have been separated into four different sections, Frostbite Favorites, Woodland Lodge, North Pole Nordic and Traditional Treasures.
Be ready to be inspired by this collection curated specifically for Christmas!
