The winter months can be cold and dreary, with everyone stuck inside - but it's also the perfect time for indoor family fun! Around here that means games, and that's something it seems you can never have enough of, whether you're inside during a blizzard or a heat wave, or just riding in the back seat of the car. So let's kick the month off with 10 free crochet game patterns!

Dorie says
I wasn't able to access the Ring Toss pattern. The page turned up blank on my phone. Attempts to find it on the main site were a failure. I suspect the mobile version of the site is temperamental or shy.
Tamara Kelly says
It looks like an older website so I suspect you're correct Dorie!
Gemma says
I made the penguin bowling game back 5 years ago and there was a mistake in row 3 and as far as i can tell it hasn't been corrected. I did leave a message there on the pattern site back then. I made them for my dgs who has 5 oldersisters and one older brother and they all loved "bowling" with him
