Stitch the Season
Our signature seasonal crochet-along series.
Each season I design a collection of four coordinating crochet patterns – one releasing each week – made to be stitched together as a set. Whether you make one pattern or all four, you’re part of the community. Patterns are available as PDF downloads individually or as a money-saving bundle.
Latest Collection – Golden Hour
Golden Hour, our warm, sun-soaked summer collection, has launched — all four coordinating patterns are available in the shop, individually or as a money-saving bundle. The next Stitch the Season collection is in the works; join the email list to be first to know.
Join the Email List to Be First
American Crochet members on Patreon get early access to every Stitch the Season pattern before the public release – plus exclusive perks each season.
Past Collections

American Crochet Bash Events
The community events that started it all.
Bash Events are multi-week community events where I release patterns over a set period of time and we stitch along together at our own pace. The two events below are complete, but the patterns are still available in the shop. Keep an eye on the newsletter – patterns occasionally go on sale or become available with a coupon code.
17 Days of Fingerless Mitts Bash
Over 17 days I released one fingerless mitt pattern per day – from quick and cozy beginner styles to intricate showstopper designs. Over a dozen patterns in one collection, perfect for gifting or donating to charity.

Scarf Day Bash
A whole year of scarves and cowls released every other Wednesday – nine gorgeous patterns in all. Make them for yourself, gift them, or donate them to someone who needs a little warmth.
More Crochet-Alongs
Looking for more? The American Crochet pattern library includes 13 past crochet-alongs spanning 2018 through 2021 – cozy blankets, mystery CALs, shawls, totes, and even a Christmas stocking. There’s something for every skill level and every season.
Share your makes with our community on Instagram using #StitchTheSeason, #ACFINGERLESSMITTS, or #SCARFDAYBASH – I love seeing what you create!
Happy Crocheting!
