Underground Crafter releases Felicita square for Granny Square Month CAL
Felicita is the 27th square in Granny Square Month, a textured 8-inch motif that keeps the 30-day CAL moving toward its final trio of free patterns.
Underground Crafter released the Felicita square on June 26, 2026, pushing the 2026 Granny Square Month Crochet Along deeper into its daily run. The 8-inch motif is the 27th of 30 free patterns in this year’s event, which is built as a monthlong sequence rather than a one-off download.
That structure is what gives Felicita its value inside the larger CAL. Granny Square Month 2026 is the fourth edition of the celebration, which opened on May 29 with 30 free crochet patterns, giveaways, and more, and this year brings together 21 designers under Marie Segares’s Underground Crafter banner. Felicita keeps the momentum going with a square that starts with a textured burst and then settles into classic granny stitches, a mix that gives makers a familiar format with a little more surface interest.
The yarn choice also helps the square fit cleanly into the rest of the series. Felicita uses the same three jumbo skeins of Herrschners Worsted 8 Wildflowers yarn used in the earlier squares, reinforcing the CAL’s coordinated look even as each designer adds a different stitch path and layout. Herrschners describes the yarn as 100% acrylic and machine washable, with each ball containing 8 ounces and 489 yards in coordinated solid and multi shades inspired by wildflowers.
Underground Crafter has framed the event as both a stitch-along and a community project. Makers are encouraged to chat in the Facebook and Ravelry groups and share progress on social media, and the format leaves room for different levels of commitment. Participants can join all 30 squares into a blanket or pick only the motifs they want, which keeps the CAL accessible for crocheters who want to keep pace with Granny Square Month without committing to a full sampler.
The event also leans into the motif’s roots. Underground Crafter notes that the traditional granny square pattern first appeared in a Weldon and Company leaflet in London in the late 1800s, giving the modern monthlong celebration a direct line back to one of crochet’s most recognizable building blocks. Felicita lands right in the middle of that tradition, offering a textured square that is useful on its own and even more effective as part of a growing set.
