Free Crochet Patterns Download
Thousands of free crochet patterns to download as PDFs, ready to print and start today. You’ll find easy crochet patterns for first projects, plus blankets, cardigans, hats and amigurumi from brands and independent designers. Plenty are quick, simple crochet projects you can finish in an evening — one-skein scarves, granny squares and dishcloths — so there is always an easy make to start between the bigger ones.
Downloading and using the PDFs
Free crochet patterns download as PDFs, which you can print, read on a tablet at the sofa, or keep in your account library to open again years later. Printing is handy for long blankets, since you can tick off rows in pencil. If you crochet away from home, save the file to your phone before you travel. And do read the whole pattern once before starting: it will tell you whether the design is worked flat or in the round, whether turning chains count as stitches, and whether the tension is measured over a stitch pattern rather than plain trebles, all of which change the fabric.
Free crochet patterns: your questions
Are the free crochet patterns really free to download as a PDF? Yes. Every pattern in this collection downloads as a free PDF you can save or print, and it stays in your account for future projects.
Which crochet projects are quickest? Chunky hats, cowls, dishcloths and small amigurumi are usually finished in an evening or two, which makes them ideal for last-minute gifts.
I’m a complete beginner – where should I start? Work through the free beginner crochet patterns first, then move on to a blanket or throw once your tension is even.
Do the patterns use UK or US crochet terms? Both appear, since designers write for different markets, but each PDF states which set of terms it uses on the first page. Check before you start, as a US single crochet is a UK double crochet.
What if I want to make something for a new baby? The free baby crochet patterns are grouped separately, with washable yarns and newborn to toddler sizing.
