ADVENT CALENDAR 2025

Advent Calendar 2025 - Catch Of Christmas Day Jumper

*Limited Edition Item* - Don't Miss Out!

*Dispatch due first two weeks of November 2025*

Treat yourself this festive season, with our 2025 knitting advent calendar. This year's advent calendar is a Fisherman core inspired jumper pattern, featuring a different stitch texture each day. We have included mix and match options too, meaning there are up to 144 potential jumper combinations you could knit with this one pattern. 

The Advent Pattern Kit is presented in a gift box, including all the tools you need to create your own fisherman core jumper (except scissors), plus some added extra surprises. Work through the Advent instruction booklet choosing from 29 mystery envelopes throughout the 24 days of advent, each one includes a different section of the knitting pattern. If you want to replicate either of the sample jumpers shown we have included a cheat sheet at the back of the booklet. 

This year you can choose to order your yarn with us, or use your own. If ordering with us you can also choose your own colour as a yarn bundle add on. If using your own the pattern calls for a heavy aran weight yarn, between 140-150 metres per 100g. Make sure to check gauge before starting - gauge details in size info below.

Sam's design notes; "I was inspired by growing up in Brixham which is one of Englands biggest fishing ports with a 1000 year history. Seeing the local harbours and the rich fishing culture that is still thriving inspired me, trawlers coming and going, fishing nets and crab pots piled high along the harbour walls and a busy fishing market on weekends bringing the community together. The fisherman core aesthetic is back with a bang this Winter and I wanted to design a wearable that brought all of that together."

• We recommend blocking before wear as some stitch textures, especially the cabling can pull the fabric of the jumper inwards. However we would encourage you to allow minimum 72 hours (possible longer) for drying dependant on the fibre used. This is worth noting in case you want to wear the Jumper on Christmas Day, you may want to start a few days early.
