APRIL THEME: CHRISTMAS IN APRIL
JINGLE BELLS
Squares are made and sent to KAS from all over the world. When they arrive, they must be sorted, packed into bundles of 35. Then they are given to the Gogo groups and KAS volunteers to be made into beautiful blankets. They are returned to the KAS workshop and finally travel in the KASmobile to be distributed to the children who need them.
This is why we are jingling our bells early in the year. We want our Christmas blankets to be ready in plenty of time for Christmas
Give free rein to your creative talents. You can make PJ’s, striped or appliqued squares.
Trim the tree!
Father Christmas and his elves,
Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,
polar bears
and penguins,
they can all come to the Christmas party. There’s room for everyone.
Make this Christmas the best yet for KAS’s 10th anniversary.
AND of course all toys are welcome to share the fun.
The PoM this month is the Alphabet crochet square.
Instructions and graphs can be found in the KAS pattern book.
Here is an "N" for NOEL to start you off.

Welcome to Christmas in April. Santa and his elves invite you all to make lots of Christmas squares so that they can make a record number of lovely blankets in time for Christmas 2018.
Here's a PJ to start you off:

Your into is so inspiring Valerie. Lots of potential for the month.
What a way to start Christmas with an Easter celebration. Sort of wraps up both ends.

Super intro, Valerie. I'm feeling festive already! I love Christmas, and this is a great way to get started and be inspired :)) Just thinking about the fun the children will have when they are wrapped in a beautiful blanket sporting Christmas colors and designs makes me smile!
This pattern has been sliding off the needles of several of our crafty crafters :) It's one that fits into any theme. I think it really zings for Christmas :)))

Yes, it's a really festive pattern. Not being a knitter, I'm in great admiration for those who make this pattern. It looks so complicated.
