Crochet socks patterns are difficult to find; well, let me rephrase that; attractive patterns for crochet socks are difficult to find. I’ve scoured the Internet to find FREE patterns for crochet socks that I think are pretty and practical. I found seven patterns. I hope there is at least one here that you like!

A. Polka Dot Popcorn Socks - Decorative and festive!

There’s just a few more days until February 14th, Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t crocheted a heart or two for loved ones, it’s not too late. I’ve discovered several crochet heart patterns that I think are pretty. If you’re a beginner, take this opportunity to learn how to crochet hearts.

The nice thing about crochet, compared to knitting, at least in my experience, is that crochet is a much quicker craft. You should be able to crochet a few hearts in no time.

Here are links to the heart patterns above (you may need a Ravelry account to view a few of the patterns):

1. Springtime in My Heart
2. Sunburst Granny Heart
3. Heart x4
4. Crochet Valentines
5. Lacey Little Hearts
6. Colorful Circle Heart
7. Hearts
8. Hearts and Flowers
9. Hanging Hearts

What is your favorite crochet motif? How do you typically use grannies? Do you work with shapes other than squares? What is your favorite way to join them?

Granny squares can be used to make afghans, scarfs, bags, garments, etc. There are no limits.

I had so much fun making this crochet baby sweater. The pattern for the sweater was designed by Linda Permann. You can find her pattern on Craftsy (see the class called Crochet: Beyond Rectangles) and on Ravelry (Beyond Rectangles Baby Cardigan).

For the large sweater, I used a 3.75 mm (F) crochet hook, 2 skeins of Naturally Caron Spa (0014 Deep Purple), and 1 skein of Naturally Caron Spa (0012 Foliage). You can find this yarn at Michael’s. I crochet tightly, so if you decide to use this yarn, I recommend you crochet a swatch as Linda directs.

The Amigurumi is based on a free crochet pattern called Pink and Cute.

I’m a big fan of Linda Permann’s patterns. They are easy to crochet, and the final products are lovely to look at. I can’t wait to crochet another baby cardigan. I’m also interested in crocheting a cardigan for myself. There are two sweater patterns by Linda in Interweave Crochet – Winter 2013 edition.
