Mini-Mystery Crochet Along – September 2026
Are you ready for another Mini-Mystery Crochet Along (MMCAL)?
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crocheter, Mini-Mystery Crochet Alongs are a fun, free community event for ALL skill levels!
There’s no better way to learn a new crochet stitch or technique than in a community setting with your peers.
You never know what you’re capable of crocheting until you’re crocheting “blindly” (so to speak).
