FREE Crochet Patterns My Way: 2010

This is an open invitation to try one of my crochet patterns FREE in return for your OPINION. Good, bad, or indifferent. There is no censorship here. I have included a list of FREE patterns to choose from, along with a picture of each.

When I began designing crochet clothing I realized I needed to improve and simplify my written notes and instructions. The basic changes I made to writing crochet patterns are as follows:

1. I CAPITALIZE all crochet term abbreviations: SC, HDC, DC, TRC,......etc. (This helps me isolate the crochet term from other text)
2. I CAPITALIZE the Row or Rnd: RND 1, ROW 1,....etc. (This helps me isolate the Row or Rnd from the rest of the text.)
3. I NUMBER each Step of a Row or Rnd. (This allows me to check off each step as I complete it, or return to the step easily.)

EXAMPLE:

ROW 1

1. SC in first 5 SC.

2. HDC in next 5 SC.

3 SC in next 5 SC. Turn.

4. I include several periods after an instruction which will repeat, such as those in parenthesis ( ) , or * to *. (This isolates the specific instruction and creates a little space between the instruction.........and the number of repeats.)

EXAMPLE 1

ROW 1

1. SC in first 5 SC.

2. (CH 5. SKIP next 3 SC. SC in next 5 SC.)...........4 times. Turn.

EXAMPLE 2

ROW 1

1. SC in first 5 SC.

2. *CH 5. SKIP next 3 SC. SC in next 5 SC.*

3. REPEAT * to *.........4 times. Turn.

5. All of my patterns have Font SIZE 12. Very easy on the eyes.
