National Crochet Month

Celebrate Crochet All March Long

Every March, crocheters across the United States celebrate National Crochet Month — a time dedicated to creativity, community, and the craft we love.

Whether you’re picking up your first hook or finishing your fifteenth blanket, this month is about making space for joyful projects, learning new stitches, and connecting with fellow makers.

Welcome to your home base for everything happening during National Crochet Month.

What Is National Crochet Month?

National Crochet Month is observed every March and highlights:
