The new JOANN Spring Stitch Along (REV 3 April 4, 2022) is now being worked through. Honestly, it knocked my socks off! I gasped and I don’t say that lightly! WOW! 

I saw it and I turned my head on its side to look at the project and thought, can that actually be done that way? It literally checks my boxes off curiosity. CHECK CHECK CHECK and CHECK!

I have the working notes on how it was done but I haven’t taken a deep dive yet but this one is going to have many people saying “wha. wha… how did you do that?” 

Once this incredible design is released, I bet it’s going to capture the imagination and people are going to say… What’s that pattern!?

Videos will be soon made for this as the clock counts down for later into spring. Once we have more details to share, I will do that! Don’t forget about me. I cannot wait to dive into this bad boy! It has me squealing in my chair here. It’s yummy!

Do you enjoy the stitch alongs? Leave me a comment below in the comments section.

  1. Geometry Lesson-week 3
    Written pattern
    Marked places should say ch3
    *ch 5, skip (dc, ch1, dc) should say (dc, ch3, dc).
    *1 dc in each of the next 3 dc – should say ch 3 after this section.

  2. This is a repeat of week 2 when it should be week 3. The left hand week 3 is posted.

  3. First I want to say I love this CAL, learning so much, feels so good to master a new stitch Secondly, I’ll be doing this one again for sure! I’ve been making notes on my paper copy for next time, printed out the new revision this morning, and transferred my notes over. Question though, on week 3, row 9, in the written pattern – at the end of the row, it’s missing the Ch 3 before skipping the dc and ch 2 sp. I am not really good at reading graphs although I’m sure learning to with this one!

  4. Mikey,

    Mikey,

    Thanks a million for the Afghan hook suggestion in the week 2 tutorial. It has made the W5 sooo much easier! The pattern is working up fabulously so far.

    Hookingly yours,

    Marchéta

  5. Mikey, Week 2 the written words don’t match the charts for the beginning dcs and ending dcs in rows 7, 8, 9 & 10. The charts are correct, the written needs updating.

    1. Yes, it does. We are working diligently behind the scenes. Another revision should be coming out soon. Weeks 3 and 4 need a small rewrite in several sections. The diagrams are correct.

  6. Mikey. There are 2 typos in Week 2 3rd row. It should start withbch3, udc in each of next 2, not 3. At yhe end, it should be DC in each of last 4 not 3.

    1. I have forwarded both of your comments to the designer for consideration. See what she says. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

      1. I found a few more, week 2 round 11 should start with ch1, 1 sc in each of first 2 DC instead of 3 and end with to last 3 DC instead of 2 so that you sc in last 3 dcs. Week 3 row 2 starts with ch3 I DC in each of next 3sc but should read 3dc.

      2. Week 2 is being completely redone in all instructions. This is the new changes that will be happening:
        1st row: (RS). With MC, ch 3. 1 dc in next sc. *Ch 3. Skip next 3 sc. 1 dc in each of next 3 dc. Rep from * to last 3 sc. 1 dc in each of last 3 sc. Turn.
        2nd row: Ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 4 dc. *Ch 3. Skip next dc and 2 ch. 1 dc in next ch. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. Rep from * to end of row. Turn.
        3rd row: Ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. 1 dc in next ch. *Ch 3. Skip next 2 ch and dc. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. 1 dc in next ch. Rep from * , ending with: Ch 3. Skip next 2 ch and dc. 1 dc in each of last 4 dc. Turn.
        4th row: Ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. *Ch 3. Skip next dc and 2 ch. 1 dc in next ch. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. Rep from * to last 2 dc. 1 dc in each of last 2 dc. Join B. Turn.
        7th row: With B, ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 4 sc. *Ch 3. Skip next 3 sc. 1 dc in each of next 3 sc. Rep from *, ending with: skip next 3 sc. 1 dc in each of last 3 sc. Turn.
        8th row: Ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. *1 dc in next ch. *Ch 3. Skip next 2 ch and dc. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. Rep from * to last 2 dc. 1 dc in each of last 2 dc. Turn.
        9th row: Ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. *Ch 3. Skip next dc and 2 ch. 1 dc in next ch. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. Rep from * to last 2 dc. 1 dc in each of last 2 dc. Turn.
        10th rows: Ch 3. 1 dc in each of next 4 dc. 1 dc in next ch. *Ch 3. Skip next 2 ch and dc. 1 dc in each of next 2 dc. 1 dc in next ch. Rep from *, ending with: ch 3. Skip next 2 ch and dc. 1 dc in each of last 2 dc. Turn.

  7. Hi Mikey,
    I love this pattern and just got started yesterday. I noticed some issues with the pattern.
    1. The gauge is in sc but the pattern is in dc.
    2. When calculating finished size using the stitch count and gauge, the size does not match what 8s listed in the pattern.
    3. The very first photo seems wrong. The group of dc on the right has 6dc and should only have 5. The group of dc in the middle only has 4 and should be 5.

    1. Are you talking about blue sample in the write up about the stitch? Showing a sample of how the stitch is accomplished?

      1. I think I understand what you are referring to. I have contacted Yarspirations with your concerns. They do the behind the scenes lifting with the JOANN stitch along.

  8. I started this – 157 chains and I keep ending with 2 stitches left… what an I doing wrong. I’ve triple checked. Anyone else running into this issue?

  9. Mikey, will there be a draw at the end of this one? I only ask because I’m thinking about adding on to my project, but I don’t want to be disqualified if there’s a draw to be entered 🙂 ❤️

      1. Please help can’t get caron wool where I live what could I use, love the colors.

      2. You could switch with Red Heart Super Saver or something. I don’t know where you live but I am suggesting yarns here in North America. Something in the Medium #4 family of yarns.

    2. Michelle-when you say you’re thinking about adding on to your project, do you mean in size? If so, I too would possibly like mine to fit my queen size bed and would like to know what to do to add width and possibly length to this project. Let me know please.

  11. Thank you for this! Can you please post the full link to the pattern? My work computer blocks link shorteners. Thank you so much!!!!

  12. I live for these CALS. Mikey – your videos really help make the CAL enjoyable. It’s so fun to see everyone’s different colors! I look forward to these each time!

  14. I can’t wait to start! Love to learn new stitches. this is my second Crochet along with crochet crowed. Going choose my yarn tomorrow Saturday I am going to Joeann. Thank you mikey .

  15. Hi Mikey I am a virgin stitch along I’m so excited I’m going to follow you on this next project I have all my yarn and so excited to get started. Barbara

  16. I absolutely love the SALs or CALs. Thank you for doing them. Can’t wait for this one to start.

  18. This will be my first SAL. Are there any stitches I should practice before hand? I have never made any mosiac crochet items but I have done a couple of tutorials (and watched the waterfall tutorial)so I get the idea of how it’s done.

      1. Is it a good idea to practice *all* the ways the waterfall stitch can be done? Not just the double crochet version but the hdc version? I’m curious as to what kind of waterfall stitch the Geometry Lesson will be using. I’m an absolute newbie to The Crochet Crowd and this will be my first SAL. ?❤️

  20. Looking forward to my first Stitch Along! Just bought all the yarn; Joann’s had a 20% off coupon. BONUS!

    Has the pattern been released yet? If so, where do I get it?

    Thank you!

  21. I have fallen in love with CALs and really enjoy yours! I got your book a couple of weeks ago and am enjoying the stories and am excited to do the patterns! I am so excited for this SAL!!

  22. Would you please be able to provide the actual yardage you used per colour to make this. I often find if I buy based on the number of balls and skein yardage listed in the required material, I over buy when buying smaller skeins/balls. As a result, I end up with a ton of leftovers. For example caron simply soft. If I buy based on yardage I am sure to have lots of waste left at the end. Thanks!

    1. I wrote it down but I am from Canada and used the metric. You can convert it to yardage if you need it. It was in the article as well.
      Contrast A – Expresso, 1 ball – 183 g/298 m
      Contrast B – Sunflower, 1 ball – 239 g/390 m
      Contrast C – Purple, 1 ball – 142 g/231 m
      Contrast D – Aqua, 1 ball – 265 g/432 m
      Contrast E – Dark Pink, 1 ball – 238 g/389 m
      Contrast F – Grassy Meadow, 1 ball – 260 g/424 m
      Contrast G – Medium Grey Mix, 1 ball – 270 g/440 m

      1. So is this the list of yarn for the CAL or do we use the 5 skeins of the Caron yarn. I am confused sorry.

      2. Thinking about your question. We have Caron One Pound 2 balls in Off White, 2 balls of Caron Jumbo Ombre in Lake Mist and 1 ball of Caron Jumbo Ombre in Sunset.

  23. Was on Joann.com ordering and got all five skeins in my shopping cart!! Went to pay and the ombre Lake Mist was sold out. Hem-hawed talking to co-workers about ordering without and getting them later. Went back to my cart and now the ombre Sunset is sold out too. I’m so bummed.

  24. Never thought about joining a CAL but this one has me intrigued. Was looking for a good pattern for a coworker/good friend and this one me intrigued!

    1. The cool thing about this is you can go at your own pace. No need to actually stitch along to someone else’s timeline. Each week the instructions and video are posted and you work according to your own schedule. I’ve only done one, but I did most of my stitching late at night and I learned so much. I think you should jump in and do it! You’ll love it.

    2. This will be my first CAl and I love this pattern, excited to get the rest of the info.

  26. Mikey!
    I love those colors and I checked in Joann online and the Caron Jumbo colors you presented do not even exist!

    Can you please let them know?

    1. I sent a message to liaison yesterday but haven’t heard back. I know the yarn is in the stores but the online seems to be out of stock. I will post a public update once I know more.

  27. Just put my request for a written list of the yarn required for the SAL Crochet Geometry Lessons in File 13-sometimes I feel dumb for asking for something that’s already available and *this* time is no exception.

    However, when I went to get the required yarn it was not there! I mean the Caron Jumbo Ombres in Lake Mist and Sunset. Do you think they’ll have more of them some day? Dang-I wanted to do this SAL. ☹️?

    1. It appears the online is out of stock but it’s in the stores. I don’t have an answer to when the online website will be updated with new stock.

  28. Could you (pretty please?) list the colors of Caron 1 Pound and Jumbo that are needed for this SAL? I wasn’t quite able to catch what you said in the video and I need to order the yarn. Please oh *PLEASE*?

      1. What is the yardage of each color? I’m thinking on hitting my stash. This will be my first CAL. Thanks so much

      2. I don’t have the information but you can look up the ball and figure that out. 2 balls of Caron One Pound each are 812 yards, and then 2 balls of Lake Mist that are each 659 yards and 1 ball of Sunset that is 659 yards.

    1. The yarn is available at most of the JOANN Stores but is out of stock online unfortunately. I would substitute to something else of the 4 Ply Medium Weight.

  30. Love the tease!!! Can you provide the repeat/stitch counts so that I can make it smaller/baby size? I’ve embarked on a personal project to create baby blankets for the local children’s hospital. Win-win-win…. get to try new patterns, get my therapy, create things to give away. I have to stop collecting throws and afghans in my own home

    1. This pattern doesn’t have a repeating to simplify down. The different stitchwork used doesn’t equally divide down as the counts for each of the types of patterns vary from one to the other.

  32. I picked up crocheting when my husband was put into hospice. He passed away 3 short months later and crochet has been my therapy. Along with Mikey!! Thank you for all your help the past 2 years. I am so excited to start another CAL with you all.

    2. I am really looking forward to this Mikey!
      Time to go stash diving!

      Thank you for all the great Amigarumi videos you did, I loved them.
      Cheers!

  33. I’m so excited for this upcoming CAL! I really enjoy doing blankets and then donating it gifting them. Mikey does such a fantastic job hosting these CALs and also designing.

  38. I love the stitch alongs! I have learned so much by watching the videos and it has really helped me grow with my crocheting. Thank you so much for putting so much thought and time into these projects.

  39. Eeeeeeee!!! I can’t wait!!!So excited especially when you’re excited! I know it will be spectacular ?????

    1. Yarn is out of stock online and in stores. You would think that JoAnn 9 would be prepared for this. So disappointing.

  41. I love doing Stitch Alongs!! There’s always help if you need it. Mikey, I can’t wait for you to post what kind and how much yarn we will need. There has really been a shortage of yarn where I am. When it finally comes in, it flies off the shelf. I’ll be waiting for your post so I can get my yarn!!
    Have a good one!!

  43. Squeal of delight, I love doing CALs with you. Your videos are understandable and I always end up with something amazing. I am so excited. Thank you for doing these. I tell Joann’s every time I buy yarn that your encouragement is why I need to keep buying more yarn.

  45. Love the CALs. It gives me something to look forward to every week and it’s challenging.

  46. I did my 1st stitch along in 2015. I Love them, learning new stitches, challenging myself. How helpful others are when you’re having issues. The tutorials really help.
    Can’t wait to start this one

  49. I’ve done several CALs, not sure how many, now I’ll have to go look!! I’ve done at least 7 or more. I’ve learned many new things on the CALs, like counting in groups of five, how to hold your hook in a tight spot, many new stitches, etc. I saw this one is not a square, hhmmmm. Looking forward to seeing it!!

  51. I enjoy the stitch alongs but haven’t finished 2 of the afghans yet, one from 2017 and one from just recently. When is this new one going to start and do we have to sign up for it?

  52. I’ve been “hooked” ever since my first CAL in 2018. Love learning from you Mikey! Thanks so very much for all that you, Dan and the crew do for The Crochet Crowd. 🙂

  53. I love your stitch a longs! Thank you so much for doing them! I am obsessed with stitch samplers!!! Thank you ?

    1. I love every CAL I have done. with every one I have learned something. I love your videos and your book. Can’t wait to see what you have for us next.

  54. Oh boy do you love teasing us along … Thank you for the gifts of you and Dan … Spring can’t get here fast enough!

    1. I love the CALs, there are a few I haven’t done yet. I also absolutely love seeing others color choices. It’s very exciting to me! Hearing compliments from YOU, Jeanne and Maura makes me feel so honored!!! Keep calm and crochet on…

  55. Love the CAL’s I don’t do all of them but many. You have taught me so much in the crochet world I’m forever grateful. Thank you Mikey.

  57. YAY!!!! I have come to love CALs because they give me the motivation to actually finish a project in a set amount of time. I have finished more afghans and throws in the last few years by keeping on schedule with the crowd than I ever did in the 35+ years previous. (Started many, finished few).
    Plus I love to learn all the new stitches & techniques. I can safely say I have advanced from a basic beginner level to experienced Intermediate just by doing CAL’s over the years.
    Thank You!

  59. Hi Mikey I can’t wait,I never done Cal before looking forward to,I’m been making two adults blanket an a baby blanket ( mosaic square love the tutorial,thank you Mikey . you’re a great,awesome,amazing teacher

  60. I’m super excited! I’ve been following you for several years now and just now working on my first stitch a long. I can’t wait for this one!

  64. These are great fun more so when you do it with your daughter .Always there to help and encourage

  65. si love CAL . Have done most of yours and some several time. Can’t wIt to see the newest project. Thanks

  68. I have really enjoyed doing stitch alongs. I have been been knitting and crocheting for over 50 years. These challenge me to do projects I might not have chosen for myself. I feel I am also getting a jump on my gift closet. This is a good thing.

  69. I am excited to see it and yet working on it. By them my shoulder should be healed enough so I can crochet again. Have been fighting depression not being able to crochet.
    Hurry up spring!#

  71. I am honestly in awe of you and jave been for several yeats. Im excited to see what this CAL is.
    I want to add that a friend decided recently to try her hand at crochet and I obviously sent her links to all things Mikey to give her the best foundation to start her journey. She actually told me ” omg, I love him.”.

    1. I don’t think I’ve done a CAL from JoAnn’s before, so yes I’m in!❤️??
      Is it using Big Twist yarn?

      1. It will likely be a yarn available at JOANN and will be one of the family of yarns available from Yarnspirations. We will announce yarn and quantity needed when we get the approval from our sponsors for the crochet along

  72. I hope to be able to participate in the Spring CAL this year! The last one I was able to join was the Mosaic blanket. Really enjoyed it.

  74. I love them. I never thought I could do those stitches and make such beautiful blankets. So thank you so much. I have only made a couple but plan to do several this year for gifts!!!!

  78. I’ve participated in a few stitch a longs and I’ve enjoyed them all. Learned a lot too. I’m excited to see what this one is all about ?

  79. Yay! I’m excited. The spring stitch-a-long was my first SAL. I learned a number of new stitches and learned how to read a crochet pattern. The project was a lot of fun. It was also great to see people sharing their projects from around the globe. I’m eager to see what this spring’s SAL has in store. Thank you, Mikey, for your tutorials last year.

  80. I enjoy the CAL very much. I would like more of a rectangular afghan than a square please, but I think I can figure out how to make some changes. Your tutorials are very helpful and I use them all the time.

  81. I have loved every single one I have done with you. Can hardly wait for spring now. Thanks for broadening my days.

  82. I can’t wait to see it. I have just started crocheting a couple of years ago and I love doing these. It really pushes me, as well.as teach me new thing. Love this. Thank you for all that you do to bring these to us.

  83. I love the stitch alongs! You have taught me so much!!!❤ I feel that I have graduated from a beginner to an intermediate crocheter because of everything you have taught me. I tackled your harvest pumpkins this fall and just finished Ollie the Owl. Millie rhe mouse is up next!!! The last time I tried amigurumi it was a dismal failure. You have given me the confidence to try again. Keep making the videos….they are so helpful!!!
    Thank you for everything that you, Dan, and your entire team do to support out journey. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! ?❤

  84. Can’t wait to get started!! I’ll have to go shopping in my yarn room ?????
    I love being a hooker!!

  85. I am so excited! I am actually giving last years scarf and hat as a gift this weekend!! Yay!! Looking forward to Mikeys awesome videos…pretty sure I can’t do it without them!!

  89. I like Stitch Alongs for all the usual reasons (learn a lot, seeing other people’s colors, reading their comments) but most of all, I like being part of the grop of crochet friends. I have lots of friends, but none crochet so the CALs are very welcoming for me.

  90. I like the stitch alongs for lots of reasons already stated (learn a lot, seeing other people’s colors, reading other people’s comments, etc.) but I think that best of all, I like feeling part of the group. I have lots of friends, but none who crochet so it is great to have “crochet friends.”

  94. Yes, I love stitch alongs! I’ve joined several of them. Looking forward to seeing what this will be.

  95. Very curious to see this one. I am ripe for doing another Crochet-a-long ???

  96. I love the Stitch Alongs! Last year I returned to crochet after a very very long break and the Stitch Alongs have taught me so much from reading patterns and charts while having the support of YouTube tutorial back-ups! I also love seeing how people’s colour choices can change the pattern ever so much. Looking forward to the next one…. after doing the current one!

  97. Love doing CALs . I love learning different things and how well the colors blend together. ?

  98. I enjoy doing the CALS. I don’t do everyone when they are released but I do check out the tutorials and patterns when they are . I print out the pattern and put it in my binder so that when I decide to do it I have it on hand. Hopefully I can use some of my stash when it comes out.

    1. Geometry Lesson-week 3
      Written pattern
      *Skip (dc, ch1, dc) -ch1 should be a ch3
      *1 dc in each of next 3 dc. Skip next dc – there should be a ch3 between the period and Skip.

  99. I absolutely love stitch alongs. It is something I look forward to when I see the announcements. I constantly love challenging myself and crocheting new items. Excited!

  100. I am a sucker for Stitch-a-Longs. And it does say spring. Anything with the word spring gets my attention.

  101. Love the stitch slings. Try to do two or three when they come out. Usually follow the written pattern but really like that the tutorial is available if I get stuck.

  102. I love the Cals/Sals I have learned so many. New stitches and am now working on understanding the written patterns. Thanks for all you do

  103. I love your Val’s/sal’s I have learned so many. New stitches and am now working on understanding the written patterns. Thanks for all you do

  104. Yahoo! I love your CALs best of all!!! I always learn so much and come away with a beautiful item!

  106. Love, love your stitch along, I cannot wait to see this one ? thanks to the whole team for keeping us entertained and giving us the opportunity to create such beautiful projects.

  108. I love your SALs. I have done every one since I found you! I keep them on hand for gifts and have donated several. Can’t wait for the next one! ❤️?

  109. I love stitch a longs because it gives me the the opportunity to stretch my skills and try new stitches and patterns that I may never try otherwise. Thank you to everyone at The Crochet Crowd for their efforts. PS thank Jeannie for the stitch counts in the Calming Comfort Afghan, if not for that I would have messed up several times. Thanks!

  112. I made this hat yesterday with Mikey’s stitch along. Took 8 hours. Loved every minute.

  113. Can’t wait to see it. I don’t do all of them, but I try to do at least one a year. Thank you!

  114. Love stitch alongs! They bring me out of my comfort zone and I learn so much! I also love seeing everyone’s variety of color choices.

    2. Love the stitch alongs!!! I’ve learned sooo much from them. And when I’m done I think, Wow, I did that!

  117. Awesome! I can’t wait to do this stitch along with you, Mikey! It’s been a couple years for me—I have recently gotten back into crocheting this past fall and winter, and I can’t wait to crochet with you again!

  118. I love the stitch alongs. I always learn something new & create something that I never thought I could. Mikey’s videos are the absolute best! Thank you for all these wonderful patterns. In spite of stupid Covid, I’m having the time of my life. I’ve become a yarn addict too…. But don’t tell my husband ok?

      2. Super excited for Spring’s CAL! I am on my fifth one currently. I am working on trying to “stay on schedule”, thought life gets in the way sometimes…ok, most times. They do make wonderful gifts!

    3. Can’t wait. I love your cals only been crocheting 2 years and can already read patterns and graphs confidently thanks to you. I have been a knitter all my life until i discovered your spring cal 2 years ago. I haven’t touched my needles since

    1. I use to enjoy them, but lately (in these pandemic times) in feels like we’re not given enough lead time to get yarn. I typically have to order mine online and by the time I find a supplier that has what I want and get the order placed it can take a couple months to arrive.

  121. I love doing the CAL’s !! I always learn so much and it’s fun seeing other peoples color story !!
