International Crochet Month
March is known as the International Crochet Month. Crochet is absolutely amazing for your body and soul, so let's seize the occasion and celebrate in a different way. We have five ideas for you and at Hoooked we are going to put one of them in practice! Choose your favorite or just do them all.


- Teach someone to crochet
This is the idea we are going to implement in 2023. We are running a free online crochet beginners’ class. You can do your own teaching or just encourage your friends and family to engage with us. Follow the link to know all details about it.
- Crochet in public
Grab your yarns and hook, choose a bench in the park, sit down and relax with your crochet. Or just do it drinking a cup of coffee in the neighborhood.
- Start a new crochet project
We have so many wonderful project ideas for you. You can search all of our DIY crochet kits here. Usually in a kit you find the yarn, the printed pattern and the accessories you need.
But if you want to choose your own colour pallet, you can get the online pattern here, and choose the yarn and the colours you want.
- Learn a new crochet technique
Have you ever tried tapestry crochet? It enables you to create multiple areas of different colors, with invisible color change, in your crochet work. In our YouTube channel we have a video tutorial on it here. And here some project ideas for you to crochet and apply this technique.

The crochet pattern is designed by Nathaly from StudioBelovely and extensively tested during our 2022 Blue Monday CAL. The yarn used for this tapestry basket is Eco Barbante.

The dark grey colour is perfect for the modern bathroom, but you can also choose from any of the other 30 colours of RibbonXL we have in stock.
