On the first day of Christmas, Tin Can Knits gave to me,
cabled mittens for under the tree!
That’s right, it is time for the annual TCK 12 days of Christmas. What are we doing this year? Free patterns! Starting today, December 14th, and ending on December 25th we are giving away 1 pattern each day, completely free for 24 hours only!
12 Days of Christmas Details:
- the patterns are accessories (no we won’t tell you which ones!), each will be free for 24 hours only (you snooze you lose!) – from midnight to midnight PST
- You do not need a promo code, if you add the featured pattern to your cart via our website or Ravelry during the 24 hour sale period it will be free!
- Confused? See the FAQ.

Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much for sharing your Advent Knit Calendar! How exciting!!!
I have always been a big fan of TCK & I always steer brand new knitters to your patterns because they are beautiful, thoughtfully designed & well written. I love that TCK has all sorts of pattern support & are very encouraging to us timid knitters who may not always feel that we really can tackle a bigger project or new technique …. You help us get out of that “I-Only-Knit-Plain-Scarves” rut! :)
One quick question:
I am not sure how to subscribe to your blog. I get your newsletter emails – is that the same thing?
Cheers & a Most Merry Christmas to everyone at TCK! 🎄
December 16, 2015 @ 9:56 am
