A seasonal crochet-along where we make beautiful things together.
Each season I release a collection of four coordinating crochet patterns — designed to be made together as a collection. Whether you make one pattern or all four, there is a place for you here.
The Stitch the Season crochet-along is free to join. Just grab the patterns and stitch along with us.

Now Stitching: Golden Hour
The Stitch the Season: Golden Hour collection is here — four warm, golden patterns rolling out over the coming weeks, starting August 16. Inspired by honey-gold light and slow summer evenings.
From a cozy market tote to a nubby dishcloth, a sweet jar cozy, and a soft linen wrap, this collection has something for every maker and every skill level.
Share your makes with #StitchTheSeason on Instagram and tag @americancrochet — I reshare my favorites every week!

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. Make one, make two, or make all four — it is completely up to you. Each pattern also stands alone as a beautiful finished object.

The Golden Hour collection includes a mix of skill levels:
– S’mores Tote — Easy
