2026 Scarf and Hat of the Month CAL
Announcing the 2026 Scarf and Hat of the Month CAL!
Rhondda from Oombawka Design and I are excited to announce that 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
- The free blog versions remain available on each designer’s site
- 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
Pop by at 9 pm ET (UTC-5) on release days, or sign up for reminder emails so you never miss a free PDF.
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.

Crocheters Often Ask:
No. You can join for one month or all year — it’s completely flexible.
The blog versions stay free. Premium PDFs are free for the first 24 hours only.
Yes. Each designer shares their own recommendations, but substitutions are always welcome.
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.
