    Top 7 Free Crochet Softies

    Published: Jun 24, 2015 by Tamara Kelly · 11 Comments

    Today's post is a guest roundup by Elaine Bennett, editor of the UK magazine LGC Knitting & Crochet. They have recently launched a new crochet website featuring hundreds of free patterns from their back issues, all created by some of the UK’s top designers. You can browse the website, which is called Top Crochet Patterns, here: http://www.topcrochetpatterns.com/ Click on the name of each pattern to go to it's pattern page. Enjoy!

    Top 7 Free #Crochet Softies!

    There's something undeniably cute about little crocheted softies that you can whip up in a few hours and then display on your desk at work or on a shelf at home. These little critters also make great good luck charms for kids and cute little gifts for friends. Here's my round-up of some of my favourite patterns from our brand new website – they're all completely free to download!

    1. Easy Elephants
    Top 7 Free #Crochet Softies!
    Meet Elma and Elvis by Irene Strange. They are a fun twist on the traditional granny square and involve only four stitches!

    2. Whale of a Time
    Top 7 Free #Crochet Softies!Use blue and white yarn from your stash to make cheeky Walter whale by Lynne Rowe. He's a sturdy little toy that little ones will love to grip and play with.

    3. Squirrelled AwayTop 7 Free #Crochet Softies!
    What finer name for a squirrel then Cyril? This amigurumi fella was an instant hit with me – the little acorn is an adorable finishing touch!

    4. Hey Baby
    Top 7 Free #Crochet Softies!
    This smiley bunny rattle by Christine Harvey is great if you're new to crochet because it's a really simple pattern.

    5. Birds of a Feather
    Top 7 Free #Crochet Softies!
    This gang of cheeky feathered friends by Irene Strange look brilliant nesting together on a shelf. The pattern is really easy to follow, but be warned, it's quite addictive too!

    6. Wise One

    Top 7 Free #Crochet Softies!

    Cleverly combine two different weights of yarn in Helen Ardley's cute owl cushion pattern. Join six granny squares into a strip to start things off.

    7. Let it goTop 7 Free #Crochet Softies!
    Is it just me or does this little lady remind you of a certain winter princess from Frozen?

      It's very frustrating to try and register to get these patterns, and keep getting error messages.

      I can't get any of these to download, I registered and the page just keeps going back to the log in page, it says if not automatically redirected click here, I do and nothing happens.

      I was able to register and get the patterns but I was quite confused. Because the stitches used were UK based right? if it says Treble Crochet that means double crochet? am I right?double crochet is halfdouble crochet? am I right?
