The 2022 Hobbii Advent Calendar for Knitters

This year, Hobbii yarn released two separate advent calendars: one for knitters and one for crocheters. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Hobbii Yarn Advent Calendar for Knitters, which promised 4 weeks of treasures in 4 separate boxes.

Clearly I didn’t wait for the holiday season because I’ve already opened all of mine! I’m here to share the contents with you.

About the Hobbii Yarn Advent Calendar

Whether you’re a knitter or crocheter, the Hobbii Yarn Advent Calendar retails for $119 USD. The purchase price meets the minimum sale for free shipping, too! Even though the package needed to cross the pond, it was delivered it in just over a week. Express shipping options are also available.

The Hobbii Yarn Advent Calendar is not suitable for people who are sensitive to wool.

The listing for the advent calendar also noted that knitters should have their 3.5mm and 4.0mm double pointed needles and 5.0mm circular needles ready, no doubt for working the patterns that will accompany the yarn and notions each week.

What’s in the boxes?

Caution: major spoilers ahead! Only continue reading if you are interested in finding out what is in each of the boxes.

Ready to go? Watch the full unboxing video here! Details for each week are listed below.

I’m still waiting for is Hobbii to publish the patterns that go with the boxes, but I’m having quite a lot of fun guessing at what they may be!

Week 1: Sunday, November 27

The Week 1 box contains yarn in traditional Christmas colors, a ruler, and a project bag.

1 skein of Amigo in 2 Ecru ($4.40 retail)
1 skein of Amigo in 28 Hunter Green ($4.40 retail)
1 skein of Amigo in 38 Curry ($4.40 retail)
1 skein of Amigo in 42 Christmas Red ($4.40 retail)
ruler with magnifying glass ($3.49 retail)
string bag ($4.99 retail)

The pattern for this box became available on Friday, November 25. The Mini Merry Christmas Ornaments pattern includes instructions for miniature hats and sweaters to use as decorations. A similar pattern, Falalalala, was released for the crochet box.

Week 2: Sunday, December 4

The Week 2 box contains sock yarn, a bit of extra fluffy wool, project labels, and postcards.

1 skein of Rainbow 8-Ply Sock Wool in 12 Light Grey ($14.00 retail)
1 skein of Rainbow 8-Ply Sock Wool in 25 Dark Olive ($14.00 retail)
1 skein of Arctica in 1 Natural White ($4.55 retail*)
handmade labels (not listed on the Hobbii website)
set of 6 postcards ($3.99 retail)

* Pricing is approximate. Arctica retails at $6.99 for a 50g skein and is currently on sale for $4.55. The 25g skein provided in this box is only available as a rewards item for Hobbii members.

The pattern for this box was released on December 2. It’s a pair of socks called Toasty. Crocheters received a very different pattern this week. Peppermint is a deep red basket.

Week 3: Sunday, December 11

The Week 3 box contains two skeins of yarn, buttons, scissors, and tags.

1 skein of Peacock in 11 Chocolate Brown ($7.10 retail)

set of wooden buttons ($5.99 retail)
novelty guitar scissors ($13.99 retail)
handmade tags with ribbon (not listed on the Hobbii website)

The pattern for this box, released on December 9, was a pair of mittens called Kogle. I thought for sure we’d be knitting a teddy bear! The crochet pattern, Ordesa, works up to be a very similar pair of mittens.

Week 4: Sunday, December 18

The Week 4 box contains alpaca yarns, stitch markers, finishing needles, cedar blocks, and a blank notebook.

1 skein of Alpaca Blaze in 4 Nougat ($8.30 retail)

blank notebook with dotted pages ($12.49 retail)

The pattern for this box, released on December 17, was a bandana called Lacey. I thought for sure we’d be knitting a teddy bear! The crochet pattern, Oak, works up similarly.
