Crochet Along (CAL)

A Crochet Along (CAL) is a collaborative project where participants crochet the same item or pattern together over a set period. Typically hosted online, a CAL provides a structured schedule with specific steps released weekly or monthly. This allows crafters of all skill levels to join in, share progress, ask questions, and offer support. It fosters a sense of community as people connect through their interest in crochet, often sharing photos and tips on social media or dedicated forums. CALs can vary from simple projects to intricate designs, making them accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
