About Us

Free Crochet Patterns is a small, independent pattern library. Every pattern here is written, tested and photographed by us before it is published — nothing is copied from another designer.

How we work

Each pattern states the yarn, hook, gauge and finished size we actually used. Where a measurement could not be confirmed from the original pattern sheet, we say so instead of guessing.

What you will find

Right now the library is organised into six sections: Crochet Toys, the largest one, where the stuffed toys and holiday characters live; Crochet Flowers for blooms and appliqués; Crochet Bags for totes and market bags; Crochet Clothes for wearables; Crochet Blankets for throws and joining methods; and Crochet for Beginners, which is where I would start if you have never held a hook. Whatever you choose, the pattern explains every stitch it uses, step by step.

Corrections

If a pattern does not work out, tell us. We correct errors in the pattern and note the change on the page.
