The
Art of Crochet
If you are new to
the art of crochet, then let me take a moment to welcome you.
Crochet is a wonderful hobby, that not only is pleasurable,
relaxing, and a great way to reduce stress and tension, it is
also fun. It is the aspect of "fun" crochet,
that this site will focus on.
Not only will you
discover "fun" patterns to create, but you will also
learn that the art of crochet is fun. At first, you may
feel frustrated as you begin to learn the proper way to hold the
crochet hook, or as you work each stitch in an effort to gain
uniform tension, however, you will find that practice makes
perfect, and as long as you practice your crochet, the
perfection will follow. But never stress out over missed
stitches, or uneven tension. You are learning a new hobby
and it will take a while to feel comfortable with your projects.
However, you will undoubtedly find that crocheting is not only
fun, but it is also simple to learn.
Therefore, you may
find yourself struggling during your first attempts, but it
won't take long before you find that you are making great
projects. Some of the items that you will begin creating

At Fun Crochet,
you will also discover the beauty and elegance of classic
vintage crochet patterns. Vintage crochet patterns are
patterns that were published roughly before 1940. Many of
these patterns are in the public domain and may be readily
copied and shared freely.
Not only will Fun Crochet make many vintage crochet patterns
available for you to download, but Fun Crochet will also give
you clear instructions on making any changes necessary to make a
vintage crochet pattern modernized.
Don't worry- there
isn't that much to change with a vintage crochet pattern.
Mostly, it is just the terminology that has changed, the art of
crochet (the basic technique that makes each crochet stitch
unique) has undergone very little change. So consider
vintage crochet patterns a beautiful gift from generations past
to you.
Vintage crochet
patterns bring a glimpse of time past into our modern day world.
It is said that nothing ever really goes out of style, and you
will soon discover that this couldn't be more true, especially
when it comes to the craft of crochet.
Also, there are so
many free crochet patterns available on the Internet, that it
isn't a wonder that the whole world hasn't taken up this awesome
hobby. You will find many free crochet patterns on this
site, including free crochet patterns for women, free crochet
patterns for men, baby patterns including baby blankets and
afghans and so much more.
I will also be
adding some of my favorite patterns as well as ones that I have
designed myself. If you ever think of something you would like
to crochet, trust me, there are free crochet patterns available
for you to find.
If you've never
purchased yarn or browsed the craft section of your local
department store, you may be surprised to discover that you can
find free crochet patterns in the yarn section. These
leaflets are often positioned by the yarn and give you a pattern
and recommendation for using a specific yarn, as well as crochet
hook size. Therefore, you can always browse various
companies that provide these free leaflets in stores online, and
download these free leaflets as well.
