Join us for the Black Cat Crochet Along

Hello & Welcome to our Black Cat Crochet Along! A Crocheted Simplicity and Blackstone Designs are working together again to bring you another fun, free crochet along. The theme of this free crochet along (as you may have already guessed), is Black Cat. Because Sonya and I have had so much fun coming up with coordinating designs in past, themed crochet alongs, we decided it would be fun to continue tradition! We have both come up with a fun new design that will add a little black cat decor to your home this Halloween. Both new crochet projects are small enough for you to complete in less than a weekend.
