Get Ready for Christmas in July with Red Heart

I am unwilling to think about Christmas at a time like this, but if you like to make holiday gifts or decorations for your home, now would actually be a great time to get started.

Red Heart is sharing patterns to inspire you with a month full of Christmas in July projects.

They just opened the first week, and each week this month there will be a few more patterns to work from.

This is for knitting and crochet, and there’s only one knitting pattern so far — a scarf for a dog! — but the colors on the crochet projects are super inspiring and might get you thinking about knitting a colorful tree skirt or afghan with a different pattern.

Are you thinking about holiday knitting yet? I’d love to know what you’re working on!
