What Is the Basket of the Month CAL?

A free, year-long crochet-along, The Basket of the Month CAL releases a new crochet basket pattern each month. Every basket thoughtfully designed to reflect what that month feels like; from cozy winter textures to light and airy spring stitches, sunny summer styles, and warm fall details.

Each basket focuses on:

Texture and stitch interest
Durable, functional design
Seasonal inspiration
Manageable projects you can finish

You can join every month or pop in whenever a design catches your eye. There’s no pressure and no falling behind. Instead of crocheting items that get tucked away, this CAL helps you create pieces that become part of your everyday home.

What to Expect Each Month

Each month of the Basket of the Month CAL includes:

A free on the blog crochet basket pattern
A design inspired by the current season or theme
Textured stitches that are fun and engaging to work
A project that fits easily into real life crochet time

This CAL is perfect if you:

Enjoy texture-rich stitch patterns

Prefer practical makes you can use year-round

Each pattern is written with clarity and designed to be enjoyable from start to finish whether you’re a beginner or experienced maker.

Crochet baskets are one of my favorite crochet projects because they’re quick enough to feel satisfying. They are practical for organizing and decorating. Using up your yarn stash is super easy with this kind of project.
