Free Crochet Patterns

New Beginnings Clutch Pattern

I am pleased to introduce the New Beginnings Clutch.  It’s a simple tapestry crochet bag that looks as good in ten colours as it does in three.  And it ties in beautifully with the fact that 2021 starts the LAWIM family on a brand new adventure.  It also celebrates the VERY detailed tutorial I recently […]

A Mighty Fine Day Bag: Pattern {Part 1}

This bag is a nod to our camping trip in Cornwall a few months ago, and specifically the Mighty Fine Day we spent at Tintagel (King Arthur!!!) with our closest friends (more like family, really) and their boys. The colours are also reminiscent of my daily commute during Covid – the pigeons that took over the platform […]

A Mighty Fine Day Bag: Reveal

Good evening and a very happy Friday to you!  I am very excited to show you some photos of my completed Mighty Fine Day Bag.  Although I love the textured simplicity of the bag itself, the tiny little Flower Pouch attached to it has stolen my heart. It is a flower, or a rainbow, or […]

I’ve got a new project on my hook:  A Mighty Fine Day Bag, made with a mix of Jute and Cotton in colours inspired by my everyday life (more about that next week) and my once-a-year camping escape in Cornwall. Just like when I made the Memory Lane Blanket, the colours I chose are not […]

Squaring a Crochet Mandala With 128 Stitches in the Final Round

I love Love LOVE making mandalas.  They are just so calming and mindful.  Having said that, I love squaring them up even more.  It is my fervent hope that we will eventually have a collective library of ‘squaring up’ patterns that can be applied to mandalas of any size.  So, today, I am going to […]

Kay Square {Crochet Pattern}

I designed this Kay Square for one of my yarn retreats in 2018.  It is named after my friend and tester Kay Crone, and is sister to the Emma Square. It is a fairly quick crochet square, and adding an extra round of dc will make it equivalent in final-round stitch count to most standard […]
