Where to find...

[GodFlute2]

Anyone know where I can find some good easy crocheting patterns? At the moment i'm working on a blanket, but I'd like to try something a bit more...complex next, but not to hard. I'm still learning.

www.lionbrand.com has quite a few crochet patterns. You could also do a web search for free crochet patterns. I've done that before and it can lead you any where just about. I get some of mine from the stores that sell yarn, there are almost always some free patterns hanging from the shelves. You might want to try looking up Caron yarns I think they have some. If you want any more help, let me know.

ok, cool. Thanks.

Just run a Google search.

I thought about that, but changes are I'd get stores that sell books with crocheting patterns in them, not the patterns themselves. But it's a good idea.

Me too!

Sometimes when you buy yarn there is a pattern on the inside of the label. Take some time to look at the labels you might see something you like. Have fun with whatever you do!

Lol, ok...I never new that...I'll have to look. Thanks.

I've gotten all of my instruction books at WalMart. Just the softcover ones that only cost a couple of dollars, and I think they're great!


I also definitely second whoever said to do a google search for free patterns.. It's amazing what you can print out for free!

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol. Ok, I'll take a look.

I HAVE TRIED TO LEARN BUT DON'T KNOW HOW! BUT I KNOW MICHAEL'S HAS LOTS OF THINGS FOR YOUR NEEDS. GOD BLESS ALL!

 

[GodFlute2]

God Bless you too.

I'm not sure we have a Michael's around here any more...hmm...

Hobby Lobby has some instruction books. Try a search on the net. I get a lot of free patterns that way. Someone said lionbrand, they are some great patterns on that site and they are free to print. Good luck on crocheting!

Hey, just go to google type in "free crochet patterns" or "free afghan pattern" or "free crochet" or "crochet patterns", or be specific like if you want to crochet a poncho or beanie or mittens or whatever. use the inverted commas when you type your search. Thats how I found all my patterns

 

[GodFlute2]

Cool. Thanks.

 

[beetlequeendiva]

yup inverted commas really work because it keeps the words together!!! I am still trying to crochet a blanket - but all my other crafts take up alot of time!!! lol

 

[Glisten]

We have a Michael's here, and hubby has a hard time dragging me out of the store! Next time, I'll go without him! ha!

 

[GodFlute2]

Hobby Lobby is the same way. Once I get in it's be force I come out. Lol.


Oh, and Hobby Lobby had a few small books of patterns, but not much at all. at least not the one I went to.

I have found free patterns online. Also, I've borrowed patterns from friends. Libraries have books with patterns, too.

What kind of project are you looking for?
