In this industry it sometimes feels like crochet gets the short end of the stick, no pun intended. It seems like there are all kinds of Knit-Alongs going on, but we don’t see nearly as many Crochet-Alongs. Our good friends at King Cole are here to change that!! 
On September 24th, King Cole is launching the Flowers In The Window CAL and we don’t think there could be a better way to kick off Fall than with this fun and informative Crochet Along. Geared towards new crocheters or those with little experience, this sensational afghan CAL is sure to inspire you to try your hand at something new.
Every two weeks, King Cole will release a free pattern on their blog. This CAL is aimed at those who haven’t had much practice with crochet, as King Cole will demonstrate step-by-step how to complete each section using written instructions, as well as pictures and charts. If you ever wanted to hone your crochet skills, this sounds like the project for you!
King Cole has chosen the ever popular, Big Value DK 50g for this dramatic afghan. Washer and dryer friendly, Big Value DK 50g is the perfect choice in case of a spill while curled up under this cuddly throw. 
Many of you may already be familiar with Big Value DK as the 100 gram balls have been a long standing staple in fine yarn shops. This 100% premium acrylic is buttery soft to the touch and is perfect for anything from baby blankets to stuffies, socks and sweaters. But King Cole know that you don’t always need a big ball of yarn for every project and they are now offering Big Value DK in 50 gram balls and the response has been astounding. With over thirty shades to choose from you’re sure to find every colour you wanted and even some you didn’t know you wanted!
Because we know just how popular the Flowers In The Window CAL is going to be, we’ve put together kits with the required number of balls in each of the eight impressive shades. Each kit contains thirty-four balls of Big Value DK 50g, enough to complete this impressive throw. Ask the helpful staff at your LYS if they have the kits for the Flowers In The Window CAL and be sure to visit the King Cole blog on September 24th for the first pattern installment. We’re fairly sure that once you try crochet you’ll be hooked!
