Free Crochet Patterns All Year Long

The Scarf & Hat of the Month Club CAL 2026 is back for another year of free crochet patterns, community, and collaboration.

Each month in 2026, three free scarf patterns and three free hat patterns will be shared on our blogs as part of this crochet-along. These patterns are designed by a mix of returning favorites and guest designers from across the crochet community.

This is a relaxed, flexible CAL — join in when you can, make what you love, and crochet along at your own pace.

How the Scarf & Hat of the Month Club Works

  • Scarf patterns are published on the 3rd Sunday of each month
  • Hat patterns are published on the 4th Sunday of each month
  • Each release includes three new free patterns
  • A Premium PDF of each pattern is free for the first 24 hours only
  • After 24 hours, Premium PDFs return to regular shop pricing
  • The free blog versions remain available on each designer’s site

Pop by at 9 pm ET (UTC-5) on release days, or sign up for reminder emails so you never miss a free PDF.

➡️ Sign up for your monthly notification email here.

If you missed the Premium version of this month’s pattern, don’t worry, you can access a free version of each pattern on our respective websites.

Guest Designers for 2026

Each month (except January) features a guest designer joining the Scarf & Hat of the Month Club.

January patterns will be designed and shared by the Scarf & Hat of the Month Club hosts.

Crocheters Often Ask

Do I need to make every pattern?

No. You can join for one month or all year — it’s completely flexible.

Are the patterns always free?

The blog versions stay free. Premium PDFs are free for the first 24 hours only.

Can I use any yarn?

Yes. Each designer shares their own recommendations, but substitutions are always welcome.

Is this a skill-based CAL?

No. Skill levels vary by month, so there’s something for everyone across the year.

The Scarf & Hat of the Month Club is all about stitching together community, creativity, and generosity. I hope you’ll join us in 2026 and enjoy a full year of beautiful, practical crochet projects.

Happy crocheting!
