March Maker Madness

March is celebrated as the National Crochet month in the United States! So I googled to see what I can write about this and the very first sentence gave me the goose bumps!!! “March is National Crochet Month, featuring events like the “March Maker Madness” with 27 free patterns, and a focus on spring-themed projects, garments, and accessories.”

Here I am , 10 days late into writitng about the blog hop I am participating in and what do I see when I search “March Crochet”? It’s Pam’s blog hop! How cool is that!!!

Pam of Carroway Crochet is hosting an “almost a month” long blog hop from March 1st until March 27th 2026 where the participating crochet designers feature one free pattern a day!

Here’s a sneak peak of all the patterns that are part of this blog hop!

Now that we have the “how it works” thingy out of the way, I would like to share a little something about the pattern that I have coming up for this blog hop.

When Pam approached us for joining her in this blog hop, I jumped right in. This is her fourth year of runnning this blog hop and I am super excited to be a part of this.

I conduct beginner level crochet workshops and in one such session after teaching the participants how to chain, I proceeded to explain how to make the Single Crochet stitch. I did not want them to work over tens of chains that they had made and so asked them to rip and remake with just 11 chains. The purpose was to show how easy it is to rip and redo and teach them how to count chains and stitches 🙂

While most of the participants obliged , a few always lament that they did a beautiful length of chain and now it has to be undone.

This was the starting point to my design. A pattern that will make use of the chain in a way that a beginner crocheter can be proud of. This sentiment was echoed by one of my testers who also teaches crochet – “It’s a really quick make and beginner friendly too… They all start with long chains.. put to good use here”

Presenting the woven coaster…ta daaa…

The base is a circle mesh and the chain is added later to give it some colour and flair!

My testers have done an amazing job and their valuable time and effort make it possible for me to bring you a pattern that is 99.9% error free (sonetimes the typos do creep in)

We are living in such uncertain times that we need to remind ourselves that good days are just round the corner . And there’s no better way to do this than to crochet our hearts out while saying a prayer or two!
