Free Sequin Gown & Cape Crochet Pattern

This time my free pattern is for a 12-inch fashion doll.

Her gown features a sequined bodice.

Her matching cape has a sequined collar.

As you can see the set was made using size 10 crochet thread.  The addition of the sequins make an otherwise simple dress & cape into something spectacular.

To work with sequins you must thread them onto your crochet thread.  Then before you finish a stitch that requires a sequin you first slide the sequin as close to the hook as you can, yo and finish your stitch!
Enjoy!

Free Blue Flower Tote Crochet Pattern

These days I'm a lot slower but I still want to post a free pattern every week.  First it was up every Sunday that eased into every Monday then a jump to Wednesday and now its Thursday and I don't know what happened to the week!
This tote was made with Lion brand homespun yarn but the flowers was made using Bernat baby coordinates yarn.  I figure with most people lovely stashes of yarn you can probably use about whatever you have on hand to make it.

Enjoy!

Stripes Purse Free Crochet Pattern

Striped Purse is this week's free pattern.

I wanted to continue with the color changes in the stripes but wanted to do something different so I color blocked each side.  I think it turned out nice.

Latest free pattern.
This is a fairly easy pattern to make.  I used one of the speciality yarns that was fat and fluffy and a mix of several yarns.  Any heavy weight yarn will work equally as well.

Here is a cutie just in time for Easter.
He is a Bunny Treat Bag.
Great for using up all those left over yarns.
The center is a bit of plastic glued to the front. A sandwich bag would work equally as well.

Pom-poms make up the face and tiny buttons add a bit of whimsy to the piece

Tree Rug and Pillow Free Crochet Pattern

This week's pattern could easily be called a Christmas theme pattern, but I think it could work well for every day use especially if you change the colors.

It is called: Tree Rug and Pillow

What give this pattern a bit of punch is the blanket stitch edging I used around each section of the trees and the triangles that edge the rug and the pillow.

Any worsted weight yarn can easily be used in place of the suede yarn the pattern calls for.
Enjoy!
