Christmas Advent Calendar Pillow With Santa Belt

"This free crochet pattern is for Christmas Advent Calendar Pillow. This pattern is made using mostly basic crochet stitches as well as Mighty Stitch and Dishie yarn from WeCrochet. This is a fun take on the traditional Advent Calendars but uses a Santa Belt instead to track the countdown till Christmas. This pattern is more for intermediate crocheters as it does have several parts to it. However, there are plenty of photo tutorials for any ambitious beginners out there! :)"
