Welcome to the #FandomGAL!
Welcome, friends to the first ever Fandom Knitting & Crochet Gift-Along! We are so excited to knit and crochet all these fabulous, gifty projects with fellow crafters to keep us company (and accountable) as we march toward the holiday season.
What you’ll find here is a basic guide to getting started and taking part in all the fun. We’ve got the master schedule of all the knitting and crochet projects. We’ve also got some tips on how to participate along the way.
The main goal of all of this is to have fun making gifts with your yarn-y friends. So, always feel free to work ahead, fall behind, skip projects, make extras, and so on. This is a “no real rules” zone.

2019 FKC Gift-Along Schedule
Well…we are tackling a lot of projects here. 10 Knitting Projects and/or 10 Crochet Projects. If you are ambitious, however, you’ll have 10 awesome gifts by the end of this journey. So…without further ado…here are the projects we’ll tackle.
Some of the patterns are my designs, some are from other designers. Most are free, and if not, we have a special discount code for the paid patterns! So, you might want to hang tight on purchasing anything until we get closer and I’ll send out those coupon codes via email before that project is up. 🙂
The knitting projects and schedule are first – keep scrolling for the crochet projects and schedule.
