FREE Crochet Necklace Pattern

Today’s FREE crochet pattern is perfect for springtime, since spring is technically right around the corner (next week)! It’s my Mod Flower Necklace from Red Heart Yarn.

You can get this FREE crochet pattern on the Red Heart website here. I designed this necklace with a size D (3.25 mm) crochet hook and Aunt Lydia’s Baker’s Cotton. This yarn/thread has a solid color plied with white. It’s really quite nice, and it’s soft, too! You can read about Baker’s Cotton and see all of the available colors here. Because the flowers on necklaces can have a tendency to turn to the wrong side while being worn, I made double the flowers so each flower is 2-sided. And I added a button on each side, so there’s always a right side showing!

I hope you enjoy this FREE crochet pattern.

Happy crocheting,

Susan

FREE Marshmallow Bunny Crochet Pattern

I found this FREE Marshmallow Bunny pattern and I had to share it with you for today’s FREE crochet pattern! I think these bunnies are adorable and I LOVE the colors that are used!

The FREE pattern is available on Ravelry here. The designer has made many bunnies and joined them together to make a scarf. Here’s the scarf for you to see:

You could make this bunny scarf, sew these bunnies onto a baby blanket, baby hat, baby bib, etc or use them any way you choose! They measure 6 1/2″ long x 3″ wide, as shown. The bunnies are made with worsted weight yarn and an E hook (I think the designer used a smaller hook than usual to make them very solid). If you want smaller marshmallow bunnies, consider using size 10 crochet thread and a steel hook.

I hope you enjoy this FREE Easter pattern. Easter is just under 3 weeks away, so it’s time to get hopping (pun intended)!

Happy crocheting,

FREE Easter Egg Coaster Crochet Pattern

Here’s today’s FREE crochet pattern to help you get ready for Easter. It’s an Easter Egg Coaster that I think looks fabulous!

This coaster is designed by Doni Speigle and the FREE pattern is available on her blog here. The coaster measures 4 1/4″ wide x 5 3/4″ high. It is made with worsted weight cotton yarn and a size G (4.25 mm) crochet hook. I love the details in this coaster. The wider white lines are crocheted in, while the smaller white lines are embroidered on after the crocheting is done. I think these coasters would be both fun and quick to make!

I hope you enjoy this FREE crochet pattern and have a blessed Easter with your family!

FREE Sorrel River Sweater Pattern

Today’s FREE crochet pattern is the Sorrel River Sweater/Tunic. I designed this sweater/tunic in 2011 for Caron Yarns. Here it is…

I used Naturally Caron Spa yarn (now discontinued) and a size G (4 mm) crochet hook for my sweater/tunic (you may use a different size of crochet hook, depending on the size of the sweater/tunic you’re making, though). You can use any DK weight yarn that you want for this sweater/tunic, as long as you’re able to achieve the listed gauge.

This sweater/tunic is made with motifs, which are joined together while crocheting the last round of each motif, so there’s no seaming required. The square motifs are set on point and are joined at the corners, as well as at the middle of each side. The corner joins create what looks like a mini motif between the larger motifs, but that’s just the 4 corners being joined! I used full motifs, half motifs and quarter motifs in this sweater/tunic. An edging is added around the neck, at the bottom of the sleeves and at the bottom of the sweater/tunic. The pattern includes crochet symbol diagrams and assembly diagrams. If you’re uncertain about how to join the motifs, you can see some additional photos and chart that I added to the Ravelry pattern page here.

I hope you’ll give this sweater/tunic a try. You can find the FREE pattern here.

Happy crocheting,

It’s made with size 3 Aunt Lydia’s Bamboo crochet thread and a size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook. The shawl measures 60″ x 19″. The pattern even includes a symbol crochet chart for those of you (me included) who love working from symbol crochet charts! Without further ado, here is this shawl…
