Top 10 Websites With Free Crochet Patterns


Welcome back to another edition of Friday’s Top 10! Today I’m sharing the top 10 websites with free crochet patterns. If you’re like me and love to crochet it’s time to grab some yarn and a hook and find a new pattern to get started on today.

If you're looking for free crochet patterns, you're in luck. Check out this list of the top 10 websites with free crochet patterns.
When my mother taught me how to single crochet several years ago, she had no idea what she was starting. I guess I’m a natural at crocheting, because I started whipping out projects in no time. Since then I’ve crocheted countless projects including hats, scarves, blankets and afghans. Even though I don’t always have the time for it, crocheting is easily one of my favorite hobbies. I could list the top 10 reasons I love to crochet today, but I’m sure you’ll find a list of free patterns much more useful! In the years I’ve been crocheting, I’ve only paid for a pattern once. It was for an owl hat my sister had fallen in love with and only cost a few dollars, but normally when I want a crochet project I start scouring the web for a free pattern to try. Today I’m sharing with you the top 10 resources on the web for free crochet patterns so you can save money, too!

#1 Lion Brand Yarns

Lion Brand Yarns has oodles of free patterns to chose from, for anyone from Grandma to Fido. Create an account to save your favorite patterns for later, or print them out as you go. Use the Pattern Finder to to narrow your search by the weight of yarn, gift recipient, skill level and more to find the perfect pattern for you. This site has been my go-to resource for free patterns and I absolutely love it!

#2 Yarn Inspirations

Yarn Inspirations is another fabulous site full of free patterns for clothing, hats, scarves, blankets, you name it! Filter projects by skill level, yarn type, recipient and/or project type to find the right project for you. Don’t have any yarn? You can buy the items you need for a pattern easily by adding them to your cart!

#3 Red Heart

When you arrive at Red Heart’s website, you’ll immediately be intrigued by the colorful projects on display. There are so many fun projects to chose from! Whether you search the most popular or most recent patterns, you will find many choices with thousands of free patterns to chose from. Filter your search results easily to find the project you’re looking for quickly.

#4 Craftsy

Most people know Craftsy offers a wide range of craft classes, but did you know they also offer free crochet patterns, too? Yes, there are over 3,000 fun patterns to chose from, so be sure to check them out!

#5 All Free Crochet

All Free Crochet is loaded with free patterns, but that’s not all you will find here! In addition to countless free patterns, you’ll find free eBooks, how-to videos, tutorials, product reviews, giveaways and more.  This site is loaded with crochet patterns and information for every skill level, beginner to advanced.

Search the many categories until you find what you need. In addition to free patterns, you can visit the Shop to browse and purchase patterns you can’t find elsewhere.  Do you have a question about a technique or pattern? Visit the forum to find the answer you need. If you want to get social, check the groups to find other crocheters in your area.

There is an advanced pattern search to help you find what you’re looking for.

#9 Free Vintage Crochet

At Free Vintage Crochet you’ll find…you guessed it…vintage crochet patterns! Their extensive library of patterns from over 100 vintage crochet leaflets from the early to mid-1900’s has you covered with anything from pincushions to potholders. You’ll also find useful info like hook conversions, abbreviations and a vintage sizing chart.

#10 The Crochet Crowd

      My favorite also, their designs are very current and chique, and their patterns very smart.
      Great instructions and videos too. Also, all of their patterns are available in many languages.

    I resumed crocheting after a long abstinence due to a busy schedule. When I resumed my crocheting, I was totally blown away with being able to get free crochet patterns – the internet is a marvel. My problem was my memory is not as it used to be and I have to write down the URL’s of sites that offer free patterns. Problem is, I forget where I wrote them and I cleaned my desk effectively throwing out scribbled notes. Now I have your list taped to the wall of all the wonderful sites available. Thank you very much…
