Join Our Crochet Community

Ready to start your next creative project? Join our crochet community! Participate in our popular Crochet A-Longs (CALs), where we work on the same pattern together, share progress, and inspire each other along the way.

Why Join an American Crochet CAL?

  • ๐Ÿงถ Pattern releases: CALs follow a schedule โ€” get the pattern from the shop and crochet along with the community.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Supportive Community: Connect with fellow crafters, share your progress, and get encouragement along the way.
  • ๐Ÿ“š Step-by-Step Guidance: Patterns are released in manageable sections so you never feel overwhelmed.
  • ๐ŸŽฅ Video Support: Many CALs include video tutorials to help you master new techniques.
  • ๐ŸŽ Beautiful Finished Projects: Create stunning shawls, blankets, and more that you'll be proud to show off!
  • ๐Ÿ’ Craft for a Cause: Some projects support our CAROH initiative - crafting hope for those in need.

  1. Sign up by joining our email list or Facebook group
