Are you looking for some trendy pieces to add to your wardrobe?

Then join us for the Summertime Granny Style CAL! From June 15th to June 30th, we'll be crocheting a variety of patterns, including a granny square cardigan, a granny square skirt, a halter top, and a puff stitch granny square crossbody bag. With both free and paid versions available, you can choose the patterns that best suit your style and skill level.

But that's not all! By signing up for the CAL, you'll also gain access to our Facebook Community Group. Here, you'll connect with other crocheters, share progress photos, and get helpful tips and advice. Plus, when you sign up, you'll receive a supply list in your inbox, along with a coupon code to purchase your yarn from WeCrochet.

As a crochet designer, I'm always experimenting with new ways to use granny squares and the granny cluster stitch in my projects. In this collection, I've included some of my favourite patterns that showcase the versatility of these two techniques.

What we'll be making in the Crochet-A-Long

01

02

03

skirt

Top or Cover-up

Cardigan

The Granny Style Skirt is made by combining traditional granny squares with a ribbed waist band, offering both comfort and style. The skirt can be made short or long, depending on your preference.


The Granny Pop Top or Not, a versatile halter top that can be lengthened into a longer top or dress that can also be worn as a beach cover-up.


The Granny Style Cardigan is perfect for keeping you warm on summer evenings. The traditional granny square construction adds a touch of vintage charm. This is a piece you'll wear season after season.


04

Granny Style Crossbody

I understand that schedules can be busy and that a large granny square project may be too much of a commitment at this time. That's why I wanted to include a quick and satisfying project from this collection that you can try. The Granny Style Crossbody bag is made from only 4 granny squares, making it a fun and manageable project for any level of experience.


With this pattern, you will learn how to create a puff stitch granny square, the flat slip stitch join technique, and how to attach rings to the side of the bag for removable straps. In the video tutorial, I demonstrate how to create a simple knit-look Tunisian strap, although you can also purchase a decorative strap from Amazon if you prefer.


If you're looking for a fun project that you can complete in just a few hours, then the Granny Style Crossbody bag is perfect.

I have been making beautiful, modern, and unique items from MJ’s Off the Hook Designs for at least 8 years. I have also had the great pleasure of testing several pattern for her. Her crochet a longs have always been my favorite to participate in and she also works with some amazing designers when she does them.


I have always went straight to her website when looking for a new design to make for myself or my daughters. Her patterns are always straight forward, easy to follow, and her sizing always works out! I have received multiple compliments every time I wear a design I have made from her. Several of them have also won first place ribbons at my county fair! When a fellow crocheter asks for some of my favorite patterns I always send them to MJ’s. From beginner to advanced she has it covered! Happy Crocheting!!

FAQ

How long is the CAL? What if I don't finish on time?

The CAL will commence on June 15th and continue until June 30th. We highly encourage you to join our community group during this time as I will be active there and going LIVE. However, feel free to work on the patterns at your own pace and complete them beyond the end date since there is no pressure to rush or meet specific deadlines. We want this to be a fun and rewarding experience for everyone, and we can't wait to see the progress you make at your own pace.

Do I need to make all the patterns?

Absolutely not! You can choose one pattern or as many as you like based on your preferences. There's a variety of patterns designed to accommodate different tastes, styles, and skill levels. We've included small to bigger projects, so that you can find something that fits your needs. Whether you're looking for a quick project or a larger one to sink your teeth into, we've got you covered. The choice is entirely yours!


What Skill Level do I need to have to participate in the CAL?

You will need to know the basic crochet skills, such as chain, single crochet, double crochet, etc. The intermediate level skills requirement will be taught in detail through our video tutorials which are provided to help you every step of the way. We welcome all participants regardless of skill level and want to offer everyone a chance to learn new techniques while having fun in the process.



Where do I find the supplies needed and yarn requirements for the CAL?

Once you sign up for the CAL, you will receive a comprehensive supply list in the form of a pdf that will be delivered straight to your inbox.
