How the 2026 Gift to Myself Crochet Along Works
Starting on January 2, on every weekday (Monday through Friday) until January 30, you’ll find a free new pattern that’s perfect for crocheting for yourself. You have the option of gifting these to someone else, too, but since the idea behind this event is spoiling yourself, that’s what we’re going with! In the rush to make things for other people, we often forget to factor ourselves into the gifting process. This event is to remind you that you deserve pampering too, especially with cool new handmade items!
While you’re crocheting these pattern, you can chat with other crocheters in the Underground Crafters Facebook and Ravelry groups and share your projects to win one of nine giveaway prizes! For this year’s giveaway, we’ve partnered with Forbidden Fiber Co., Furls, GlassEyesOnline, Knitter’s Relief Balm, LennyMudPottery, LumosLumos, MBT Creates, Unicorn and WalnutFarmDesigns to bring you some great prizes in our end-of-CAL giveaway. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post by Sunday, February 1, 2026 at 11:59 pm Eastern.
