This blog post contains advertisements.

In October we'll be crocheting together for the 15th time! Do you like surprises, amigurumi, and connecting with like-minded people? Then you'll love this event! My crochet alongs are fun digital events where you get to discover a brand new amigurumi, part by part, together with other amigurumi makers during a certain period of time.
 
Down below you'll find abbreviations, color keys, and other things that are good to know before the crochet along starts 1st of October. Welcome to the party!

crochet bat amigurumi pattern
In October 2021 we crocheted together Flora the bat.

I hosted my first CAL in December 2018 for a small crowd of amigurumi enthusiasts. Ralf the moose was the first amigurumi we crocheted together and he stole many hearts that December. Since then my annual crochet alongs have grown rapidly and over 5000 people have participated so far.
 
The October CAL 2023 is hosted inside the Happy Amigurumi Club and is FREE for members.

The Happy Amigurumi Club is a positive and inspiring community for amigurumi makers who like to crochet and discover new amigurumi designs together with other like-minded people.

The goal is to inspire and encourage you (and me) to grab that hook and weave in those ends regularly. Which will boost our creativity, decrease our stress levels and in the long run make us happier crocheters.

The secret PDF pattern is divided into 8 pieces + assembling instructions. The parts will be sent to your inbox 1-2 days apart and we'll wrap up the crochet along with a live assembling party on Friday 20th of October. There will also be a giveaway that you automatically participate in when you publish a picture of your finished amigurumi in the Facebook group or on Instagram #garnknutencalparty.

KEEP THIS IN MIND

  • Make sure you crochet pretty tight all the way, so you don’t get large holes between the stitches. If you crochet loosely, I suggest you should test a smaller hook size (ex. 2.50 mm) so that the stuffing doesn‘t show once you‘ve filled the toy.
  • All parts will be worked in spirals (if the pattern doesn’t say otherwise) - so you don‘t have to think about closing the rounds.
  • A stitch marker can help you keep track of the beginning of your rows.
