If you are an avid crocheter, than you're probably looking for some new projects to do for the holidays. But did you know that you could find free crochet patterns online? Here's a list of some of the sites that offer some great patterns for free. (Note: Keep in mind that all of these patterns are for personal use only and the creators of the patterns own all copyrights to their own patterns.)

Craftown.com

Don't throw those little yarn remnants out, because you can put them to good use with some of these great Christmas ornament ideas that you'll find on Craftown.com. Start with the cute snowman ornament. This wintry ornament is made with just little amounts of black, white, and red worsted weight yarn. If you have a lot of leftover yarn from other projects this is the perfect use for it. The tiny stocking idea is also another use for your leftover yarn and takes less than an hour to complete. It is put together in two steps, the body of the stocking and than the trim; so easy even a beginner can manage this pattern. You can add a festive bell or other decoration to the top of the stocking for that personal touch. The snowflake ornament is fashioned with bedspread weight cotton thread. It is made around a plastic ring so that the center is perfectly round and the ornament comes out symmetrically pleasing for the tree. This is the ideal choice for those with simple, but elegant tastes. And the great thing about these projects is that they take only about an hour to make.

Crochet.about.com

About.com is an amazing site to find whatever you are looking for. In this case its perfect for free holiday crochet patterns. Every project has a picture of the finished item for you to peruse. One of the projects that caught my eye is called "Beautiful Vintage Edging." This is a pattern to make "beautiful vintage edging" for a Christmas stocking. There is a tutorial below the pattern that shows some of the steps for visual reference for intermediate crocheters. Another notable pattern is one for ball ornaments called N-hook Christmas ball covers by Priscilla Hewitt. With this easy pattern, you basically crochet a cover for a ball ornament and top it with a bow or silk flowers for a Victorian look. And don't overlook the adorable reindeer head ornament with wiggly eyes. It's too cute and easy to pass up. From tablecloths to a wide variety of ornaments and centerpieces, whatever your holiday interest, you are sure to find it on this site,.
