Free Crochet Afghan Patterns

1. Evening Star Block Afghan - When looking at the title of this afghan it makes me think of shining stars on a clear crisp night so when you look at the pattern you realize it is kind of like a starry night but with an Aztec-looking design added to it.
2. Kaleidoscope Afghan - Do you remember when you were a child looking through the long tube of a kaleidoscope and seeing all the pretty colors and designs at the end of it? This free crochet afghan pattern reminds me of just that. All the pretty colors are combined into one design.

Jacket and Shawls

1. Popular Zen Jacket - I can't even tell you how much our readers loved this Zen Jacket. It was first posted by one of friends on our Facebook wall and people went nuts over it. Little did I know we had it on our site so I incorporated it in the newsletter and you fell in love with it.
    
2. Geisha Jacket - A beautiful sweater that will keep you warm and trendy. Free crochet patterns like this Geisha Jacket can end up helping you create your favorite item of clothing. Try out the Geisha Jacket today!
    
3. Crochet Short Jacket - Short and funky, this cropped sweater is youthful and vibrant. The cute details down the sleeves add interest and charm to this free crochet pattern. No wonder it was so popular in the newsletter.
    
4. Little Crochet Jacket - I like this jacket because the variegated yarn gives it a unique look. You can also make it in solids,but I think it pops more if you have multiple colors.MODA DEA® "Vision™" yarn is used in a Forest color.
    
5. Goddess Shawl - The word goddess must be a "super word" because every time I mention a goddess pattern it is very popular. We're all goddess's in our own way so why wouldn't we like these patterns?

Kitchen Necessities

1. Not Your Mums Hotpad - Spark your creativity with a floral-themed, (Not Your) Mum's Hotpad or potholder. Petal crochet patterns form concentric circles that resemble a chrysanthemum flower, a beautiful addition to your kitchen accessories! The original pattern came from a vintage site.
    
2. Old Fashioned Potholders - I really like these old fashioned potholders as they have a simple design to them. You can make these and give them as a gift or keep them for your own kitchen. Make many potholders in different colors and present them in a fun fashion.
