Popular Crochet Afghans

Crochet afghans are always reader favorites. They’re great to have thrown over the back of a couch just in case there’s a chill in the room. Make an afghan for every room in your home and no one can ever complain about being cold. And afghans make great gifts for housewarmings, weddings, baby showers, or any special event. Just be sure to start working on one in advance if you want to get it done in time. My favorite afghan out of this batch is the Stained Glass Shell Stitch Motif. It may take a little more work than some of the other patterns, but I can imagine it’s quite fun to make and the end result is really nifty.

Crochet Fashion

Everyone seems to be ready for spring to get here. It definitely shows in the top picks for crochet fashion. Keep warm from little breezes with these free crochet patterns. Work them up in lightweight or fingering yarn to create airy accessories. The Papillon Scarf is by the most popular scarf by far, but a few of the others are creeping their way to the top spot. Add some of these scarves and wraps to your crochet wardrobe collection. You can also find some wonderful patterns for around the neck on AllFreeKnitting.com.
