Submission Themes
We are looking for fun crochet designs for our Winter Collections!
WeCrochet is looking for a variety of crochet designs for publication on our crochet-centric website. We have provided mood boards of inspirational images and yarns to use, as well as specific designs we are looking for.
This call is for crochet designs only.
Brief Description
Get your hooks ready, we are looking for new crochet patterns for our winter release. We are looking for patterns for three themes.
2 Ball Cowls & Infinity Scarves:
As the fall season starts we begin to think about gift making. Cowls and Infinity Scarves are the perfect solution to most of your gifting needs. Not only are they quick projects to make but they also require no knowledge of sizing for the recipient.
12 Days of Dishcloths/Facecloths:
Get out your Dishie and whip up some dishcloths or facecloths. Not only are they perfect for your own kitchen and bathroom but make great gifts and basket stuffers for the holiday season. We are looking for 12 brand new dishcloth/facecloth patterns to be featured in our special event. We will have 12 days of new dishcloth/facecloth patterns, with a new one released each day.
12 Weeks of Gifting:
The 12 Weeks of Gifting tradition continues! Starting at the end of September and running into December we launch a brand new pattern each week in our 12 Weeks of gifting series. This year we are planning this collection around a Spa at Home theme.
