Free Crochet Pattern Butterfly and Flowers Afghan

Here it the second pattern for this week.  I call it Butterfly and Flowers Afghan.  You make the background adding the pop corn stitch darker blue accents then go back and add the butterflies and flowers.  The butterflies and flowers can be a great excuse to use some of those left over yarns you've been holding on to!

All my free patterns are now available as a pdf download and you can also see just the written pattern if you like!

Enjoy!

Free Crochet Pattern Tiny Penguins

Here is one of this week's free patterns: Tiny Penguins! They are only 1-3/4" tall but add the hat and they are 2-1/2" tall.  I knew hats were great to cover up bald spots, but I didn't know they could make you taller too!

They are just a ball with everything else sewn on to them.

They make great desk pals.

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 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!

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.

Bunny Treat Bag Free Pattern

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
Enjoy!
