I love cats, crochet and free stuff. So combining these 3 things together, I went on a scavenger hunt and found a whole bunch of free cat crochet patterns to share with you. I found so many patterns it was hard to choose but I narrowed it down to 33, which is still a lot so I’ve tried to organize…
Inspired by the photos of the little Russian girl’s sunhat I saw a few years ago when it went viral, I wanted to create my own unique summer sunhat.

Inspired by the success of the interlocking hearts design and because it’s springtime, I decided to create this beautiful linked butterfly design. This pattern is written so that it can easily be extended to make longer panels which can be joined together, perhaps with plain panels in between to make blankets of varying sizes. For this project I used Red…
Here’s another spiral Granny Square I came up with while experimenting with yarn. I’ve written out the free crochet pattern and made a video tutorial for you.
