Mystery Crochet-Along Spring 2026

Is anyone else feeling ready for another mystery critter? I know I am. Every year, I look forward to preparing these little creatures as my personal reward for surviving the depths of tax season. This year's critter is especially close to my heart and happens to be one of my longtime favorites...though I'll say no more. Hopefully, I haven't already revealed too much. To bring this year's critter to life, you'll need four colors of DK-weight yarn. C1: 300 yards. This is your main color and will set the tone-choose one you truly love. C2: 50 yards. This color site directly beside C1, so make sure they work well together. The level of contrast is entirely up to you. C3: 25 yards, this should be a very light color. C4: 25 yards, this should be a very dark color. Yardages include extra yardage to ensure that there is enough for your gauge.
