AllFreeCrochet.com is an aggregate site that provides hundreds of the best free crochet patterns for anyone and everyone.

AllFreeCrochet.com is different from most sites as it provides free patterns from not only manufacturers, but bloggers, crochet enthusiasts and everyday people. The crochet site was launched because crochet is a growing hobby and the site helps create a one-stop crochet community for users.
As the crochet industry grows there are more celebrities making crochet patterns and getting into the hobby. AllFreeCrochet.com, wants to give women the opportunity to avoid purchasing expensive crochet clothing and patterns, but to get these crochet patterns for free. A few celebrities who crochet include Madonna, Meryl Streep, Bette Midler, Vanna White, and Debra Norville. The site wants to allow women to crochet patterns that even the celebrities are doing.
The Craft Yarn Council of America (CYCA) conducted a survey stating fifty–one percent of yarn enthusiasts buy yarn at least once a month. Consumers are motivated to purchase yarn when they see a yarn they like (58%) and a project they want to make (54%). The Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) also conducted a 2010 survey showing crochet fell in the top 10 craft categories of 2009. It was also stated that crochet made it in the top 10 crafts irrespective of expertise level. 86% of crafters strongly agree that completing a craft gives them a sense of accomplishment, according to CHA reports.
AllFreeCrochet.com just completed a survey as well.

Many readers said they plan on crocheting more in 2010 than they did in 2009 as it’s a type of therapy and relaxation method.
