Mystery Crochet Along: Holiday-Themed Crochet Pattern
Welcome to AllFreeCrochet's FIRST Mystery Crochet Along! We're always excited to host new things and we thought a mystery crochet along for the holidays was going to get you pumped. We've joined forces with Red Heart to bring you this fun Mystery Crochet Along, and one lucky winner will win a great prize pack from Red Heart.
We're excited you're here and checking out all the fun and we hope you'll join in. Although you don't know what we're making, I promise it'll be worth it and you'll be glad you joined us.
Featured Pattern:
Well, since it’s a mystery we can’t give much away, but the colors used are the same as you see in the photo above. This crochet pattern has quickly become my new favorite; I might even give it a name. It’s an easy crochet pattern that uses Red Heart’s Super Saver yarn in five colors. The colors are provided but you CAN use your own colors. However, I do suggest you definitely use the gold color because it'll look the best, but feel free to get creative if you'd like. Each part of the pattern is crocheted separately and then joined at the end.

I am impressed that so many are on target with this. I am still working on the main part. It could be my job or my cat playing with the yarn...but on we go!

I have tried a lot of times to post my pictures for the Mystery crochet along. I can not do it for some reason and I don't want to miss out. I love Mystery crochet, even if I have never won anything. They teach me to stretch my limits and go beyond what I think I can do. Can you help me get my pictures posted

Each part of the pattern has a blue button near the bottom of the page that says "add your link". You should be able to upload your photo that way.

The picture from my camera had too many megabytes so I had my daughter take a picture on her cell phone and email it to me. I had less mb and I am hoping that it posted correctly.

I found out what it is by typing the colors into a search engine. I have enough amigurumi crap laying around already. They couldn't PAY me to make this junk.

Dear Party Pooper, I have a great idea for you to get rid of your amigurumi crap. Donate them to the children's hospital, a Dr.s office that has children on kidney dialysis, a safe place for abused children. The list can go on and on. Your hard work and talent would make some child so happy.

I love the mystery of it all. This will be the third mystery crochet along I have done this year. It is just so exciting!

I see others saying they are trying to upload pictures and this makes me ask another question. Concerning the pictures of work in progress...does that mean while we are crocheting each section (week) or the completed portion for the week? I guess I am a slow crocheter if others have their weekly part done already and are wanting to upload their pictures.

You can post the completed portion each week in order to be entered to win the prize. Hope yours is coming along nicely. Thanks, Editors at AllFreeCrochet

I was excited when I saw the email, but then disappointed when I saw that I would have to spend nearly half as much as the "prize" was worth. Not much motivation to participate!

It's not the winning. It's the fun of making something that you have no idea what it is till later. If all you are thinking about is winning then a mystery crochet along is not for you.

Can I embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes? I don't want to have to buy a whole pack just for one project...

I asked a similar question below and am still waiting on the answer.

I couldn't find "safety eyes" so I planned on just sewing some eyes at the end. :-/
flipflopflo 807224 4
Oct 21, 2014
Well, I did a dumb thing and tried taking the safety eyes off of an old stuffed animal. When I tried to get the back off of one I stupidly used the scissors to try and pry it loose and the scissors slipped and gashed my thumb open on top of my knuckle. I hope I can still crochet without bending my thumb. Hopefully this will stop anyone else from trying to do this, too. You cannot get the backs off once they are on.

Have you thought about buying a stuffed toy from the dollar store and using them off that? Maybe there will even be enough stuffing to use too?

I hadn't seen your response flipflopflo when I made my comment.. not sure why.. hope your thumb heals fast!
Editor for AllFree CrochetAfghanPatte rns
Oct 22, 2014
You can probably embroider the eyes if you'd like. I personally think it's more fun with the safety eyes. Thanks, Editors at AllFreeCrochet

Do we have to use the listed safety eyes or can we use something else instead? I have everything else needed but I'm having trouble finding them in my area.
