Welcome Crocheters!

Welcome to the Northern Illinois Chapter of the Crochet Guild of America.   We are a local crochet group in northwest suburban Chicago.  If you love crochet and want to learn more, come join us!

We are the premiere (first-ever) local chapter of the national organization, the Crochet Guild of America. We encourage all our members to join CGOA, and to attend the annual CGOA crochet conference.

NICGOA has won first place in the national CGOA Chapter Challenge for three years in a row. In 2023, we crocheted 1,079 soap sacks for S.A.C.K. (Supporting Community with Kindness). In 2022, our members crocheted 1,294 rectangles (7-inch by 9-inch) to be joined into blankets for Warm Up America. In 2021, our members crocheted 5,629 hearts that we donated to more than 15 charities.
