Are you excited and ready to kick off January 2017 with the “Make it for Me” event? January 2016 was the first and now annual Make it for Me event! It was a huge success which makes me really happy to bring it back to you (the crocheters) again this year! I’ve recruited some really awesome designers to pick out some of their favorite FREE designs that would be a perfect “Make it for Me” project. You may even see some “never seen” projects too!
What is “Make it for Me”? Scroll below for all the details!
We (crocheters) made it through another holiday season! Some of you are probably still working on getting the finishing touches on a few aren’t ya?
Give yourself a big ole’ pat on the back because I know so many of you worked really hard on those Christmas presents! I hope everyone appreciated your time, effort and especially love that went into every stitch, but now I think “It’s Time for You”!
If you see the title, you’ll notice it says, “Make it for Me”. What exactly does that mean? Well, we all know that most of us rarely make anything for ourselves, and I want that to change (at least for the month of January).
Here’s how it will work…..
I’ve partnered with some other fabulous crochet designers in the industry, and they will be sharing a free pattern they consider worthy of being a “Make it for Me” project. One project gets featured everyday for the entire month of January!
You will also have the opportunity to win some fabulous prizes! The sponsors loved the idea of “Make it for Me” and graciously supplied prizes as a way to show you how much they appreciate your passion for crochet. Without YOU, none of this would be possible! We want to say thank you and maybe give you the little push and encouragement to finally do something for YOURSELF! I can’t wait to share all the wonderful prize giveaways with you!!
I hope during the month that you’ll find that one project that catches your eye and dedicate the time to make it for yourself! Be sure to share this post with all your fellow crocheters! Can you imagine how “big” this event could really get if everyone got involved?
So…..get ready for a month full of fun….Don’t forget to SHARE with everyone that crochets because it’s going to be GREAT!!
I will also have a page dedicated to all the projects for those of you that want to see everything in one place and it will update as projects are added. The page will not start updating until January 1st!
Where is the daily pattern released? Your websight or somewhete else? Mondays right?
What is that multi-colored crocheted WIP item that is shown on your Official “Make It For Me” announcement page? It looks quite interesting; is there a pattern for it?
It’s just a graphic my graphic designer made for me! No pattern. I agree it looks great though!
So glad I found this! I’m looking forward to a new pattern every day just for me! And I already love the first two!! Thanks so much, I really needed this <3
Awww! I’m so happy to hear this Carolyn! I hope you enjoy!
This is my first time and I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone picks to make! I don’t wear hats/beanies but that just might change this year! I’ve seen so many beautiful ones so far this winter! Thanks for making this possible!! ❤
I’m so glad you’ll be following. There is quite a variety so stay tuned Lisa!

Thank you so much!!! I love new patterns. This year I crocheted all 3 of my kids a wall hanging that had the last name their/spouse first names then their children’s names Drew out my patterns on graft paper, centered everything and got started. Michael’s framed them (whew that was expensive) the kids loved them. Next bug project idea please
Wow! That’s amazing Brenda! I’m sure they loved the gifts!
Can you join the fun without entering the contest? I prefer not to participate in sweepstakes or raffles and such.

It’s not a contest so you’ll be able to view all the projects and choose your favorite!
