Every month deserves a little celebration, and the new Scheepjes Birthday Calendar is here to make sure none are forgotten.
In the Netherlands, birthday calendars are a familiar sight in many homes. Unlike regular calendars, they’re designed to be used year after year, helping you keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and other meaningful milestones. As well as being handy reminders, they also help strengthen connections with our friends and family. Remembering these dates shows how much we value these relationships and gives us more opportunities to celebrate together.
Whether you make the projects yourself or gift the calendar to a fellow crafter, each page brings fresh ideas and a reminder of what makes our community so special: creativity, connection and celebration.
Of course, this is no ordinary calendar. Each month brings a new yarny treat, with twelve seasonal projects to make using your favourite Scheepjes yarns. From crochet and knitting to Tunisian crochet, punch needle and even a knitting mill project, there is something for everyone to try, whether you are a beginner or more experienced.
The calendar pages where you write your important dates are bilingual in Dutch and English, while the patterns are printed in Dutch* with QR codes linking to the English versions. On the back cover you will find a handy preview of all twelve designs.
*Tips, schematics and some of the longer patterns are accessed via a QR code.
And instead of bank holidays, you will discover the celebrations that matter most to crafters: Granny Square Day, Yarn Bombing Day, World Embroidery Day, Socktober and International Crochet Day! With a mix of organisation and inspiration, the Scheepjes Birthday Calendar makes it easy to remember the days that matter most.
