Michigan Fine Yarns announces Pumpkin Spice crochet-along blanket for summer 2026
Michigan Fine Yarns' midsummer Pumpkin Spice CAL gives crocheters a blanket-sized head start, with Sirdar's beginner-friendly Week One already underway.
Michigan Fine Yarns has put a Pumpkin Spice CAL on its calendar for July and August 2026, giving crocheters a blanket project with enough runway to finish before fall decorating and gifting season tightens. The shop’s listing frames it as a blanket and calls it a “celebration of texture, pattern, and crochet!”
The broader Pumpkin Spice Crochet Along was already moving by July 15, when Sirdar posted Week One, “Pumpkin Patch & Granny Corners!” The video description said designer Sapphire, who posts as spitspotstitches, would guide makers through the first basic stitches at a gentle, easy-to-follow pace. A post from spitspotstitches added, “The wait is almost over… Day 1 of the Pumpkin Spice Crochet Along starts tomorrow!” and said the blanket was created in collaboration with @knitsirdar.
That makes the timing the real story here. A blanket CAL is a bigger commitment than a motif or accessory, but a July and August window gives enough weeks to work steadily, test yarn choices and stay ahead of the autumn rush. The setup also suits crocheters who want a guided project with texture and structure, rather than a high-pressure race to a deadline.
Michigan Fine Yarns has used the same community blog format for a steady run of timed makes, including Coronation Blanket CAL in March and April 2023, Day Tripper Picnic Blanket CAL in May and June 2022, Halloween CAL in July and August 2025, Santa’s Workshop CAL in October and November 2025, Easter Egg CAL in February and March 2026 and Elliott Shawl KAL in December 2025 and January 2026. The Pumpkin Spice CAL fits cleanly into that schedule, with a seasonal hook and a project type that is easy to recognize at a glance.
The result is a make-along that feels built for planning, not scrambling. With Sirdar’s beginner-friendly Week One already out and Michigan Fine Yarns amplifying the project through its community pages, the Pumpkin Spice CAL gives crocheters a summer start on a fall blanket they can realistically finish before the season changes.
