Crochet Patterns

Crochet patterns for every skill level, from first granny squares through garments, blankets, toys and home accessories.

Crochet needs very little to get started: one hook, one ball of yarn, and a handful of stitches that between them make almost everything else. The patterns collected here run from first projects through to pieces that will take a season.

If you are starting out, begin with something flat and forgiving – a dishcloth, a scarf, a simple granny square. Flat projects let you concentrate on keeping your stitch count steady without also managing shaping, and a dishcloth that comes out slightly wonky is still a perfectly good dishcloth.

The patterns are grouped below by what they make. Each one notes the yarn weight and hook size it was designed for, which is the information you need to substitute yarn sensibly.

A note on hooks: the size printed in a pattern is a starting point, not an instruction. Everyone crochets at a slightly different tension, so work a small swatch and change hook size until your measurements match the pattern’s gauge. It takes twenty minutes and saves a sweater that fits nobody.
