Join Monroe Township Public Library’s first Crochet Along!

The Crochet Along (CAL) will run from May 21 through July 10 for a nice, relaxed project with plenty of time for you to make the pattern. The pattern, as selected by survey, will be a Sampler Afghan.

Participants will be able to pick up the pattern and supply list at the Reference Desk beginning May 13. The pattern is also available for free at https://www.yarnspirations.com/products/red-heart-crochet-sampler-afghan.

The project will be broken into smaller parts with goals to achieve by each check-in session. You can of course start the pattern at any time you wish. The check-in goals are there for those that like deadlines but are not requirements for participation.

Follow along and post your progress on social media @monroetwplibrary and #mtplcal2024
