Komorebi Aya Crochet‑Along (CAL)

Starting late July 2026


A members‑only creative journey with Crochet Guild Australia

This year’s Crochet Guild Australia Crochet‑Along features Komorebi Aya, a breathtaking batwing cardigan designed by Kathy Vasic of Driftwood Cottage Designs, a long‑standing CGA member known for her exquisite textural work and elegant garment construction. Inspired by the meaning of komorebi - sunlight filtering through silk - this design blends delicate lace‑like motifs with a dramatic, wearable silhouette.

Running from late July through November, this CAL offers a relaxed pace, strong support, and a warm community experience suitable for makers of all skill levels.

Who Can Participate?

The Komorebi Aya CAL is exclusive to Crochet Guild Australia members.

Membership provides access to this CAL, a vibrant national crochet community and much more!

Community, Connection & Support Throughout the CAL

This CAL is designed to bring members together through shared making, steady progress, and ongoing support, all while working on a beautifully constructed garment designed by CGA member Kathy Vasic of Driftwood Cottage Designs.

A Gentle, Structured 4‑Month Timeline

  • Months 1–2: Crocheting the squares. A relaxed pace with plenty of time to enjoy the motif work.
  • Months 3–4: Joining, folding, shaping, ribbing, and finishing. Includes both knit and crochet‑only options for the waistband and button band.

Community Support & Connection
Members will have two dedicated spaces to stay engaged, supported, and connected throughout the CAL:

  • Monthly Teams Meet‑Ups. Live video sessions where participants can share progress, ask questions, troubleshoot techniques, and enjoy the camaraderie of crocheters across Australia.
  • Private Facebook Group. A friendly, active space for posting updates, celebrating milestones, seeking help, and connecting with fellow makers between meetings.

Together, these channels create a warm, supportive environment that keeps everyone motivated from start to finish.
