Back to school sweater CAL 2017

Back in August 2017, my friend Tamara and I launched a blog hop and CAL to celebrate crochet garments. We asked some of the bloggers we knew to help us with the blog hop which would look at every aspect of crochet garment creation. We were so thrilled that everyone said yes - thank you lovely bloggers!

Our bloggers have contributed a range a helpful, interesting and inspiring blog posts that will help anyone considering making a crochet garment:
