The Friendship Blanket Crochet Along is here! It’s time to gather up your yarn scraps from your stash and crochet a beautiful blanket.
Or maybe you’d rather plan out your crochet squares with a particular color theme. That’s up to you!
I’ve teamed up with Helen from Sunflower Cottage Crochet and 26 other crochet designers for this Crochet Along.
What is the Friendship CAL~Crochet Along?
This CAL is a blanket square event. 28 crochet designers will contribute unique and new crochet square patterns.
Each crochet square is a free pattern for you to create your own blanket. Each square is 9″ x 9.”
There are 40 individual crochet square patterns coming weekly. To crochet this blanket you’ll need to make at least 35 squares for about a 45″ x 60″ blanket.
Having those 5 extra squares allows you for some wiggle room. You can pick and choose your favorites and arrange them to your liking.

This post contains affiliate links which means I receive a small fee if you click through and make a purchase (at no additional cost to you).
When does the Friendship Crochet Along begin?
The CAL starts on January 15th. It runs through mid April.
A new crochet square design will publish each Friday, Sunday and Wednesday. That’s 3 squares each week until April!
This gives you a couple of days in between to crochet up the most recent square. Or, when you’re able to make time.
