    Mad About Plaid! 10 Free Plaid Crochet Patterns

    Published: Oct 28, 2013 · Modified: Nov 5, 2020 by Tamara Kelly · 33 Comments

    Plaid is one of the big fall trends this year, and crochet is trending right there beside it. And luckily for those of us with hooks and yarn (and without a trendy budget), there are plenty of free patterns that combine the two! Vintage to brand new, I've collected 10 free plaid crochet patterns!

    10 Free Plaid #Crochet Patterns!

    10 Free Plaid Crochet Patterns

    Click the name of the pattern to go to the pattern page!

    1. Tartan Plaid Wash Cloths by HappyBerry via the Internet Archive: Washcloths are the perfect way to try new techniques - like a swatch, but you get something useful when you're done! And these are too cute! Video tutorial included with the written pattern!Tartan Plaid Wash Cloths :: free plaid crochet pattern!
    2. Woven Scotch Plaid Afghan on Free Vintage Crochet: This vintage pattern dates back to 1947 but has a classic look that's lasted to 2013 - and well past I reckon! Makes me wish I were going on a picnic! This beautiful version was crocheted by Ravlery user abitknottie!

    5. Burberry Baby Blanket by Faythe Saxton, on Amateur Malcontent: Is there any more famous plaid?! And 6 skeins of yarn will run you far less than the "real deal."Burberry Baby Blanket :: free plaid crochet pattern!
    6. Plaid Baby Blanket by Lion Brand Yarn: The original photo makes it hard to see the plaid, so check the Ravelry gallery for some closeups - it's a good one!Plaid Baby Blanket :: free plaid crochet pattern!
    7. Country Plaid Placemat by Erica Jackofsky by About.com: The perfect pattern for a country or vintage kitchen! This pattern is no longer available.Country Plaid Placemat :: free plaid crochet pattern!
    8. Lumberjack Flannelghan by Michele Shirley on Inspired Crochet Design: This one might have to compete with Burberry for iconic plaid status! Oh this takes me back - specifically to the plaid shirt that belonged to my dad... and that I stole when I went off to college! Wondering if I should make it up to him by making this blanket?Lumberjack Flannelghan :: free plaid crochet pattern!
    9. Plaid Pillow by Red Heart: Use motifs or squares to make a plaid/gingham pattern! Great throw pillow with lots of inspiration for other projects!Plaid Pillow :: free plaid crochet pattern!
    10. Plaid Crochet on Crochet Kitten: Lots of stripes and color changes make this plaid look complicated - luckily there's a photo tutorial to take you through it!Plaid Crochet :: free plaid crochet pattern!

        Sorry about that Heather! It's fixed but from the time stamp it looks like you're loading an older, cached version of the page. Try hitting CTRL-SHIFT-R to refresh the page - then you should have the working link. 🙂

      The Lumberjack Flannelghan is a favorite of mine. We have 5 of them in the house and one is covering our Cal King bed. I find it super fast to work up so don't let the size scare you. I wanna try some of the others tho, plaid is comforting to me 🙂

      I would love to try my skills doing your plaid dishcloths, but am unable to print a copy of this pattern, do you have a link where we can download and print the pattern?
      Your patterns are just beautiful and I plan on doing quite a few!

        Hi Bonnie! I'm glad you like them but they're not my patterns. 🙂 If you click on the name of the washcloth pattern and go to that blog post, you can ask the designer about how best to print from her site. 🙂 Thank you!

        Hi Liz! I'm afraid I can't find any record of that pattern or that designer on Ravelry, and the only Sarah Gordon I find on Google is an actress.

      EMAIL has to be in lower case...I have been looking for a pattern for a Hume (also spelled Home) Scottish Clan afghan. Do you have one or know where I can get one? Thank you so much. I hope to make this for my son for either his birthday or for next Christmas...depending on how long it takes me. Thanks for your site. Sincerely, Eileen

      Just to let you know, I adapted the idea of the plaid dish cloths to make a lapghan.
      I used worsted weight Red Heart yarn, made up my own spacing between the lines of double crochet in the
      width & length needed.
      While the other plaid patterns are beautiful, I wanted something that could work up easily & fast.
      To make the vertical lines I used a crochet hook 2 sizes larger than what I used to crochet the base part
      of the lapghan. This way it was easier to make the vertical chain loops without them pulling too tightly.
      I wish I could upload a picture to show you how it turned out.
      Many lapghans are geared towards women, but I thought perhaps a plaid one would appeal more to men
      who use wheelchairs in darker colors. Lighter and/or pastel colors would be nice for women using this pattern as well.

      In the Lumbèrjack afghan pattern, 5-7 pounds of yarn is listed. What does that mean in regular skeins...such as Red Heart, Lion Brand?

        Every make and model of yarn comes in different weights, you should be able to look at the label of the yarn you want to use to see the weight in oz. There are 16 oz in a lb.
