7 Places to find crochet patterns you love online
Are you looking for the next perfect crochet pattern? If so, this blog post is for you!
This is the sixth post in the blog series, combating the crocheting slump. But if you’re not suffering from the crochet-blues, don’t let that stop you from reading this! We could all do with ideas of where to find crochet patterns, and in this post I’m going to do a round up my top seven favourite places to look for them online!
Ravelry
I only stumbled upon Ravelry once I had set up my crochet Instagram profile, and kept seeing other crocheters talking about this mystical website. Ravelry is the social networking site for yarn lovers - crocheters, knitters, embroidery, you name it. This website also has an amazing library of crochet patterns - some free, and some paid for. The best part? It’s free to join!
Etsy
Etsy is essentially the Amazon for handmade and handcrafted items. However, there are also loads of crochet designers selling individual patterns online. It’s a great way to support designers directly (even though Etsy does take a commission on any sales), and it is genuinely fun to just explore what’s available.
LoveCrafts
This is a website I’ve only discovered fairly recently, however LoveCrafts is full of some amazing resources for yarn lovers. Their library of patterns is a mix of free and paid for patterns, posted by the designers themselves. Also, don’t get me started on their yarn shop. Yarn addicts beware!
WeCrochet
This crochet company is specifically for the crochet community, hence the name. Their website has a plethora of crochet patterns available, some paid for and some free. They also feature independent designers on their site.
Yarnspirations
With over 4,500 crochet patterns to choose from, Yanspirations has you covered! With both free and paid for patterns to choose from, and a very simple to see ‘skill level’ listed on each pattern without having to drill down into each page, this is a site not to be missed for crocheters looking for some pattern inspiration.
Amigurumipatterns.net
The website name gives this one away, but this is a site for amigurumi lovers! There are a lot of amigurumi patterns on this site, and while some are a little pricier than you might find elsewhere, they are absolutely adorable and you can also find free patterns too!
Hobbii
This global yarn company has loads of free patterns published on their website, with the benefit of also linking you to the right yarn to use for each project. Obviously the yarn part isn’t mandatory though, but it is a fab library of crochet pattern inspiration for you to explore.
That brings us to the round up of my favourite seven places to find crochet patterns online. I hope this blog post helps you find more crochet patterns that you love! I can’t wait to see what you make. Remember you can share your makes with me on Facebook, Instagram, Ravelry, or Pinterest.
Until next time, happy crocheting,
Cilla x
