Nacht came out of a CAL — a crochet-a-long, where a designer releases a pattern in parts over several weeks and everyone works through it together. This one was run by @wicked_stitches_crochet.

CALs are a different kind of make. You can’t see the whole thing when you start, so you’re committing to a silhouette you haven’t met yet. Part three is where he started looking like something. The horns are wired so they hold their curl, and the tongue is worked separately in a red that had to be loud enough to carry against all that dark fur.

He’s the most requested piece I’ve made. Krampus season is short and people plan ahead — if you want one for December, ask early.
