I’m so excited to share that The Nomad Knot is part of this year’s Giftstravaganza Blog Hop, hosted by the lovely Underground Crafter!
This festive event is packed with beautiful handmade holiday gift ideas, featuring 30 days of free crochet patterns (newly released!!!) from talented designers, all created with just 1, 2, or 3 skeins of yarn! Whether you’re making cozy home décor, stylish accessories, or adorable gifts for little ones, there’s something special for everyone.
🎄 What Is the Giftstravaganza Blog Hop?
If you’ve never joined a blog hop before, think of it as a joyful crochet countdown to the holidays!
Each day from November 1st through December 3rd, 2025, you’ll discover a brand-new crochet pattern by visiting a different designer’s blog. Every design is free to view on the blog forever, and the PDF version of the daily featured pattern is available to download free for 24 hours only!
It’s the perfect way to gather gift ideas, discover new designers, and fill your hooks with handmade cheer this season.
