CELEBRATE CROCHET MONTH WITH THE LATEST BONITA PATTERNS CALS!

March is National Crochet Month and although for most of us, crocheting is celebrated year-round, the Bonita Patterns team is never shy to find an extra excuse or holiday to justify a party. With the goal of honoring our craft in style, we are launching "Celebrating Crochet": a multi-project CAL event with FOUR designs to crochet along with you.

"Celebrating Crochet" will run from Tuesday, March 13 through April 30, 2018 (but feel free to join us whenever your schedule allows, we are an understanding bunch), and you can participate in any or all of them. We have curated the projects based on difficulty, expected completion time, and variety of technique.

News, schedules, instructions and the free (for a limited time only) patterns for our CALs events are posted on our Bonita Patterns Blog, but the latest scoop and real value of support you’ll receive by Joining the Bonita Patterns CALs group on Facebook. We also recommend you sign up to our Newsletter to receive updates.

***As special offer for our "Celebrating Crochet Multi-CAL Event", for the duration of the CAL we are offering a 15% off on yarn needed for the project. Use coupon code CROCHETMONTH at checkout.
