12 Days of Christmas: Day 4 + Day 5

Hi all! I'm combining Days 4 and 5 together just because it'll be a very busy few days (hence why Day 4's post is so late, oops). I'll post day 5 below everything for day 4, giving you time to guess what it could be!

Day 4:

Did any of you guess gingerbread man for day 4 though!? Cause thats what it is!

He's not my favorite square honestly, the idea was there but the execution didnt quite turn out how I expected him to. Still cute though, and I like the colors, not sure what I could've done to improve him 🤔 maybe thicken or get rid of the colored bands on the arms and legs? What do you all think?

Graph/Pattern:

I think the graph really shows the vision I was going for, such is the way of crafting, things not going to plan. Lots of color changes with this one, so he's a little more complex than my other squares, not too bad if you dont mind weaving in ends (I mind). As with the other squares, single crochet around the edges to finish the square off.

My hint for day 5's square (before you scroll too far!!) is: ☃️

Day 5:

If you guessed snowman, you'd be correct! I think this one might be my favorite honestly, I love the colors, I love the design, he's just too cute. Kind of ironic putting my least favorite and most favorite (thus far anyways) with each other.

Graph/Pattern:

I think the hardest part about this snowman was weaving in the ends for the single color changes (aka the eyes and buttons). Definitely worth it, but annoying.

And thus we've added a gingerbread man and snowman square to our collection! I hope you like them both. Come back on Sunday (12/17) for Day 6!
