Introduction

People celebrate Christmas in many different ways, but here, at the American School of Needlework, Christmas is celebrated in a unique fashion. Every year we create a new set of crochet patterns especially for the holiday season. It might be something as simple as a tree top angel, a set of Christmas ornaments or a project as elaborate as a complete set of Christmas carolers to decorate our Christmas table. Our designs seem to capture the warmth and love our staff experiences at Christmas.

Our Christmas stockings, for instance, have to be very large because we love to receive presents, and we have to design special items for our pets so that they can join in the Christmas celebration too. We love to design “Christmas Critters”: giant snowmen, Christmas mice and huge Santas. And no Christmas is complete without some “sugar plums,” those zanies that bring smiles to our faces like a Santa bib for a Christmas baby or a crocheted piece of holly to tie on a package or wear on a lapel. And because we remember Christmas as a special time for children, we design special Christmas toys for Santa to carry in his pack.

We’ve collected some of our favorite projects in this book (which we save printed in special easy-to-read large type), and we’ve included some new ones which we designed especially for this Christmas. Our chapters follow the lines of the famous poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas” because the poem expresses our holiday spirit: a joyous occasion filled with fun and good cheer for everyone.

So from all of us, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
