How the Weekend Mystery Crochet Alongs Work

These crochet alongs will be for quick projects that can be made over a weekend using a few skeins of yarn.
- I will announce each Weekend Mystery CAL via the Crochet Along updates and the Underground Crafter newsletter a week in advance.
- This post will be updated with the supply list and tips for getting gauge so you can have the right hook size(s) available.
- In the week after the supply list and gauge swatch is released, each pattern will be released in two to three clues, starting on the following Friday. For example, a pattern with two clues will be updated on Friday and Saturday. A pattern with three clues will be updated on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
- If you join in, you’ll have a week to gather supplies and you can make the pattern over the following weekend.
- During the Weekend Mystery CAL, you can chat with other crocheters in the Underground Crafters Facebook group or the Underground Crafter Ravelry group.
- After the Weekend Mystery CAL, the pattern will be updated and available as a freebie on my blog.
