7 Crochet of the Month Clubs that Will Get You Hooked

A couple of pieces of multi colored crochet made through crochet of the month clubs

As to when the craft of crochet was first invented is still up for debate. Some believe crochet started in Arabia and spread east. Others think crochet could have been created in South America or China, based on the archeological findings. Regardless of where it started, crochet has spread worldwide and is a craft enjoyed by thousands. But as many crafters know, it can take time to find a pattern and collect the materials and tools needed for a project. This is why so many are turning to crochet of the month clubs.

Crochet of the month clubs are a great way to save time since the boxes are conveniently shipped to your door. Plus, you never have to take the time to search the internet for a new project since that’s part of the magic of a crochet subscription. You can even combine them with yarn of the month clubs or other craft clubs to give you a truly diverse selection of activities.

And crochet of the month clubs come in a variety of options and price points. For crocheters with a big yarn stash and plenty of tools, a crochet pattern of the month club will help you get through some of the yarn you’ve had on hand for years. Also, several crochet clubs for beginners include the patterns, digital instructions, and everything you need, including the hook.

So whether you are an old hand at crocheting or just starting, there is a crochet of the month club that is perfect for you.

YarnYAY

YarnYAY, founded by Vicki Howell, is located in Austin, Texas. Ms. Howell has been part of the knitting and crocheting community for years and has written such books as Top 10 Crochet Hats, AwareKnits: Knit and Crochet Projects for the Eco-Conscious Stitcher, and Vickie Howell’s Pop Goes Crochet!: 36 Projects Inspired by Icons of Popular Culture.

YarnYAY is a subscription-based company that supports other women-owned companies worldwide. The primary focus of YarnYAY is to help introduce fun fibers to other fellow crafters that they can later find at their local yarn shops. The sample yarns included in each box are specialty hand-dyed or indie mainstay yarns.

And though their focus is knit and crochet subscription boxes, they do sell other accessories such as crochet hooks, deluxe wood swift, wool care kits, tassel makers, patterns, and more.

The YarnYAY subscription box comes in four payments options:

Month-to-month for $35
3-month prepay for $103
6-month prepay for $203
12-month prepay for $400 (plus, you will get a 13th box free)

Each YarnYAY subscription box includes:

A sample portion of yarn
A corresponding crochet pattern
2 specialty items
5% discount to the YarnYAY online store
Access to the members only Facebook page

The YarnYAY subscription box does not include crochet hooks.

Plus, YarnYAY has a Block Builder Crochet Club for only $6 per month. The Block Builder Club is a digital download crochet of the month club that sends members a new block pattern each month. Each block pattern is for a unique 16-inch block that is part of a 12-block pattern.

However, if you choose to do less than the 12-block blanket, you can use the blocks for alternative projects such as pillows or small throws. The patterns are emailed on the 1st of each month.
