2020 Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along
The holidays are almost here, and to help you get all those handmade presents ready on time, let me introduce you to the 2020 Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along!
What is the Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along?
A crochet along (aka CAL) is an event where makers from anywhere in the world work on the same project at the same time.
The Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along is a CAL hosted by CAL Central in their Facebook and Ravelry groups. This is the 6th year running. And this year features designs from 26 different crochet designers who are all contributing with free crochet patterns for handmade holiday gifts, decor and wrappings! And guess who will be one of the featured designers?? 😉
Join us on this great event and let’s get all our presents done ahead of time, while building community! Oh, and did I mention that you can also win awesome prizes? 😀
How does the CAL work?
Every Monday and Thursday from September 21 through December 17, 2020, we’ll share a free crochet pattern by a different designer. Each pattern will be a one-skein project, or a stash buster/scrappy project, so you can work from your own existing yarn stash to make a great winter holiday gift, decoration, or wrap. If you’d like to go ahead and buy some yarn just for the project, we won’t stop you! We love yarn as much as you do.
We’ve teamed up with thirteen wonderful companies – Babé Crochet, Bags by Awesome Grannie, Clover USA, GlassEyesOnLine, I Like Crochet, JitterBeanMugs, Knitter’s Pride, Kraemer Yarns, Nelsonwood, Search Press North America, Unicorn, Walnut Farm Designs, and WeCrochet – to gather some amazing prizes for our end-of-CAL giveaway.
Don’t forget to enter the giveaway in this post on Underground Crafter by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, December 31, 2020! Be sure to scroll to the end of her post to enter for some serious crafting goodies!
