Hello Reader 💕🌸

Happy almost-Christmas, dear friends!

We’re officially in the magical last week before the big day, and I hope you’re soaking up every twinkling light and sweet moment. Between decorating the house and soaking up extra grandbaby snuggles, I’ve been racing the clock to finish one last cozy surprise for you.

Today I am finally hitting “publish” on my very last pattern of 2025—just in time for those final gifts or a well-deserved post-Christmas treat for yourself.

You can find the Mountain Trail Hooded Cowl now live on the blog! With a complete video tutorial available as well, this hood is so easy and fun to make. Keep warm all January long with this warm hood.

I also had a bit of time and added a Santa Gnome option for the Elf & Santa Hat Gift Card Holders just in time for your gift giving this Christmas!

I hope you enjoy the new patterns!

This will be my last "newsy" email before Christmas - you will be getting my weekly "just the patterns please" email next Tuesday as usual. So, I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a beautiful and happy Christmas Day!

Have a wonderful weekend and happy crocheting,

Tonya 💕
