Free Crochet Pattern Large Stars & Stripes Afghan

      Here is a free afghan pattern I really like. I call it Large Stars & Stripes. You can see why.

                          The afghan is worked in sections and then the entire thing is sewn together.

                                        The colors used are navy, claret, soft white and cornmeal.

                            The center was designed and then all the other elements were added.

                                                                            Enjoy!

Free Afghan Pattern Too Many Pinks and Too Many Blues From Donna's Crochet Designs

 I never realized there were so many baby blue and baby pink yarns out there until I tried to help my mom find the "perfect" one.  I thought it would be fun to try and combine as many as I could in an afghan. I used fun fur yarn to tie all the blocks together. I hope you like it. Too Many Pinks and Too Many Blues Afghan

Enjoy!

Free Crochet Pattern Stripe Blocks & Flowers Afghan

I've been so busy so busy re-doing my free pattern site I've forgotten to post about this week's free pattern.
It's a light weight afghan perfect for snuggling under on cool nights.  I call it Stripe Blocks and Flowers Afghan.  The blocks are crocheted separately and then sewn together alternating their direction so its a great take along project.

While you're there check out all the changes I've made to the site.  There are faster page loads, pdfs of almost all my patterns (I still have a few to go!) and you can still see the written pattern if you want. (That's a pet peeve of mine by the way.  I hate being forced to download a pdf just to look over a pattern that I may or may not want.)

Free Vintage Crochet Pattern: Mardi Gras Afghan

The free vintage pattern from my collection is called: "Mardi Gras" Afghan.  It is a simple block afghan that goes together to create a cute color block design with star like inserts.  I really like this one.  You may not realize it by looking at it, but it is a fairly versatile design.

How about dark blue for the background, light blue for the pink and yellow for the star-like inserts to make it look like the night sky.  Add snowflake appliques to the light blue and you have a winter wonderland afgahn!

Enjoy!

Tuttie Frutti Lion Afghan Free Crochet Pattern

Tutti Frutti Lion Afghan is this week's free crochet pattern.

The afghan is basically a large oval with a pink Lion's mane added, then eyes, nose and mouth.

It is a bit like my Cuddle Dog afghan.

A fun shaped afghan great for kids or the young at heart.

The Lion Afghan gets its Tutti Frutti name from the name of the yarn I used for its body; Red Heart Baby Clouds soft and chunky yarn in Tutti Frutti. The pink is the same brand call Pink Lemonade.

The afghan is fairly quick to make due the the chunky yarn and large hook used.

It would make a great gift or addition to a child's room.

I hope you enjoy it!

Free Crochet Afghan Pattern: Flowers In The Snow

Flowers In The Snow afghan is my latest free pattern.

It was one of the first afghans I ever tried to design. I wanted this large flower surrounded by lace. I think I got the lace bit right, but maybe the flower could be bigger.

I used a soft and fuzzy yarn called Jiffy. Not so sure it's still out there, but any worsted weight yarn will work equally as well.


I hope you enjoy my Flowers In The Snow!

Free Vintage Crochet Pattern Blue Diamonds Afghan

The afghan is called Blue Diamonds. It is crochet into blocks and then sewn together.

This is my first free vintage pattern. It's from my own collection of patterns, leaflets, booklets, etc. I'm just a sucker for all that old stuff!

This pattern is now in the public domain which is why I'm posting it.

The vintage patterns I have are now on their own section on my free pattern site. I've copied the pages and turned them into a pdf for you to download and use.

Right now there are 4 on the site and I'm hoping to post a new one every week.

Hope you like some of the golden oldies as much as I do!
