Hello & Welcome to our Spooky Halloween Mini-Mystery Crochet Along! A Crocheted Simplicity and Blackstone Designs are working together again to bring you another fun, crochet along. The theme of this crochet along (as you may have already guessed), is Spooky Halloween. Since everyone loves the Mini-Mystery Crochet Alongs that I host here on the blog, Sonya and I have decided that our Spooky Halloween Crochet Along would be much more fun if we make it a mystery! We have both come up with a fun new design that will add a little spooky excitement to your Halloween this year. Both new crochet projects are small enough for you to complete in less than a weekend.
How do I join in the fun?
- Join both designer’s community groups on Facebook so you can crochet along with us! It’s also a great place to ask questions, look for inspiration, and help others with their projects. To join, click the names of the groups below:
- Look for the Spooky Halloween MMCAL Graphic (as shown above)
- Once you’re in the designer’s Facebook community group, look for a post with the Spooky Halloween MMCAL graphic (the graphic shown above).
- Comment, ask questions, and post your progress photos on this specific Spooky Halloween MMCAL post in the group. This is where we will randomly be choosing winners of prizes so please make sure you participate to take full advantage of the fun! *Make sure to post progress pics of my design in the A Crocheted Simplicity group and progress pics of Sonya’s design in the Blackstone Designs group.
- Crochet Along
- Crochet 1 or both of the New Spooky Halloween mystery crochet designs we release. You can make as many as you’d like and each will gain you more entries.

Keep track of your numbers as we use these to draw winners!
