MATERIALS:

– size J (6mm) crochet hook OR size needed to obtain gauge (USED FOR ENTIRE PROJECT EXCEPT WOODSTOCK)

– size D (3.25mm) crochet hook for Woodstock ONLY

*THIS ENTIRE PROJECT UNLESS NOTED IS DONE HOLDING THE YARN DOUBLE STRAND*

– 600 yards worsted weight red yarn (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Really Red)

– 200 yards worsted weight white yarn (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Snow White)

– 200 yards worsted weight black yarn (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Black)

– 350 yards worsted weight dark gray yarn (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Steel)

– 200 yards deep hunter green yarn (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Pine Green)

– 30 yards yellow (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Sunshine)

– 40 yards each of 7 colors worsted yarn (Shown Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted in Azure, Violet, Baby Pink, Neon Pink, Lemon, Bright Violet, and Royal Blue)

– 30 yards super bulky fur yarn in white (Shown Premier Bunny in White)

– ½” dowel rod cut to 24”. You can leave this natural or paint it as I have done with mine

– 2 yards braided trim or ribbon to hang the calendar

– (1) set felt numbers 1.25” tall I purchased them from SunshineAnnieDieCuts on Etsy and used this set in black:   https://etsy.me/32VUKCd

– I absolutely use hot glue (specifically Gorilla Glue sticks) for my projects. It holds forever. I have torn yarn to shreds trying to move something once applied, so firstly, use care when gluing and secondly it WILL last forever. If you would like to sew all pieces, of course do this instead.

– Aleene’s Fabric Fusion glue with the narrow tall tip. I used this for my felt numbers only. They are small and the hot glue was just not precise enough for my liking. I applied liberally and let dry 4 hours.

– scissors, tape measure, tapestry needle, stitch markers

FINSIHED SIZE:

About 30” tall and 24” wide

GAUGE:

Row 1 and 2 of the doghouse bottom half should measure about 17” long and 1 1/8” tall.

You want to be as close to this as possible. If not, you will use more yarn and it will be not as sturdy.

Note, I tend to crochet tightly.

              Alternatively, chain 49, sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. (48)

This video by Repeat Crafter Me is what I direct people to if they are not familiar with surface crochet techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5znaN5Itpk

Weave in these ends. When weaving in the joining side of the ends, wrap the yarn around the edge st so the row goes completely from edge to edge.

Black Edge Round:

Position the piece so the right side of the edge round is facing up.

Join black yarn held double in any st around the piece with the surface crochet rows right side up, ch 1, sc in same st and in each st around working 3 sc in each corner st, once around, sl st to 1st st made and cut yarn.

Weave in all ends to this point.

Weave in these ends. When weaving in the joining side of the ends, wrap the yarn around the edge st so the row goes completely from edge to edge.

Row 1: Make a chainless single crochet row of 52 sts. (52)

(For the body features to start the right way, you really need to do a chainless foundation for his body. If you absolutely cannot, you will need to do your chained start row, then one additional row before proceeding to row 2 of the pattern so the work faces the right way.)

Row 2: ch 1, turn, 2 sc in 1st st, sc in each of nxt 51 sts. (53)

Row 14: ch 1, turn, sk 1st st, sc in nxt 3 sts, sl st in last st, do not cut yarn, continue to edge round.

Edge Round: Making sure the foot is right and head is left (so the edge round is right side up when completed) ch 1, sc in each end of row and st around, at corners work 3 sc in the same st to turn the corner, at low points such as where chin and tummy meet closely, you can replace the sc with sl st so as not to bulk the area, but do so loosely, once around, sl st to 1st st made and cut yarn. Note: I, Stephanie Pokorny of Crochetverse, created this pattern for free for my followers as a Christmas gift in 2019. If you paid for this or accessed anywhere else but my blog or through Ravelry, then you got ripped off. Bad folks like to take free patterns from designers and dupe you into paying. If this happened to you, I am sorry. Email me at [email protected] and let me know!

Black Edge Round: Join double strand black in any st around with the right side of the previous edge round facing up, in the same manner, sc in each st around, work 3 sts in the corner sts to turn the corners and replace sc with sl st in the low points as needed.

Description automatically generated

1. Sew on Christmas light pouches: Using the above photo as a guide and the ends tail and needle, sew all the ornament pouches in place on ONLY the two sides, leave the TOP OPEN SO YOU CAN INSERT LITTLE TREATS INSIDE.

2. Glue on numbers: I then fabric glued all the numbers in place. The double strand is thick enough to where nothing seeped through to the doghouse in the back.

3: Surface crochet wire: Using double strand dark green, surface crochet the wires to connect each row of bulbs. Work edge to edge so it looks like the wire is really wrapping around the back of the house.

4. Glue or sew one bulb top to each bulb with the edge with the ch-1 sl st closure pointing down as it creates a slightly narrower edge.

5. Sew the rod pouch shut. Using a strand of dark gray yarn, fold over the top edge of the background behind Snoopy about 4 rows and sew it to create a long tunnel to slide the dowel rod through. Make sure it fits before you sew it or sew around the dowel rod, your choice.

6. Attach ribbon or trim to hang: Determine how long you want the hanging rope to be. Tie around each exposed end of the dowel rod. You can add some glue to secure if desired. I added some little ribbons I found too.

7. Weave in any remaining ends.

Row 12: ch 1, turn, sc in 1st st, scdec over nxt 2 sts, sl st in last st, cut yarn.

Tail:

With single strand yellow yarn and D hook, chain 8:

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and nxt ch, hdc in nxt ch, dc in last 4 chs, ch 1, sl st twice down the side of the dc just made, sl st to nxt ch on bottom and cut yarn.

Outline:

This takes some attention to detail so go slowly and take care. He is small so it won’t take too long.

This is done on ONE side only. You are going to sew, using a straight back stitch, all the outline on him using a single strand of black yarn and needle working JUST inside the outer edge advancing a stitch at a time. Notice how it breaks into just lines in his hair area. The eye was done with 4 times around to give it proper size. It does NOT matter what the back looks like as long as it is not super bulky or knotted as you will be sewing the two halves together once done and it will all be covered. I did the tail outline while holding it against the body, so it got its outline and was attached to the body at the same time. Sew the un-outlined tail to the second half. Sew or glue the two halves together.

You can attach Woodstock to the calendar with a long ribbon making sure it reaches the furthest pouch from where you decide to attach him or leave him free. Move him from pocket to pocket as the countdown progresses. Fill the pouches with money or small treats.

  1. Wow..amazing! I don’t have kids, so don’t really do advent calendars, but I NEED this!! LOVE Snoopy! You are so talented, thank you so much for this free pattern ???

  2. Thank you for this pattern! My Sis is a Snoopy fanatic, so this is perfect for her! She has 3 grandkids, and I think they’d enjoy it as well when they visit her. I have been sewing the pieces together on top of my bed comforter, as I dont have a table big enough. This is a GREAT pattern, but definitely not for the faint of heart when it comes to sewing LOL. (I hate sewing things together 🙂 )

  3. Thank you so much for this pattern. I started (late) making it for my daughter and her family. The pattern is so easy to follow. It’s coming together beautifully!

  4. Hi, with the chainless foundation, I’m a bit confused for using the chained version. Do you make the chains, then come back across the chains, then do a whole new row across that row or just start from the end where you do the across?

    I’ll try to clarify:
    Ch. 53, starting in 2nd chain from hook, sc across
    Row 1: sc across then go to row 2 on your pattern (this is how I’m interpreting it)

    or
    Row 2: Ch.1, sc across (and then go to row 2 of your pattern)

    I’m trying to figure out where the tail would be when I finish making the chains and then going back across.

    TIA,
    Melissa
