Websites that Offer Downloadable Crochet and Craft Patterns

C. Phillips
Are you tired of buying a pattern book just to find that there is only one pattern you really wanted? Well, buy wisely through online downloading. You can purchase singular patterns for as low as $.99 and have it instantly delivered to your email so you can start on it right away. Crochet and craft patterns aren't just in books and leaflets anymore; there are a few sites that you can find a wide range of patterns to suit any interest.

Crochetmemories.com

At crochetmemories.com you can download patterns for less than $5. They come in your choice of a PDF or Word document file for more convenient use. Most of the patterns, as the name suggests, are heirloom thread crochet designs. You'll find patterns for afghans, tablecloths, bottle and vase covers, pineapple stitch fans, and Victorian style purses. Be sure to read the pattern description for the type of thread or yarn required and the size of the finished product. Their Crinoline ladies in crochet thread are sold as individual patterns, so you can try out your hand with these Victorian dollies without spending $15 on a book of patterns you aren't likely to use (especially if you find that you don't like to make these). It's the perfect way to test patterns without spending a lot of money on a stitch method you are only learning and may or may not use again.

Craftdesigns4you.com

This site is a club that you can join online for discounts on crafting patterns. They include crochet, beading, cross stitch, and plastic canvas designs. The membership fee is $8 for 3 months or about $27 for the year. New patterns are added frequently, and they also sell some supplies. You can purchase patterns even if you aren't a member, but there are some that are member's only. There are some adorable baby sweater patterns with various animals crocheted into the front design, ponchos, and accessories. When you are a member you have access to download and print off members only patterns for free. Although you can't currently download the patterns you buy when you are not a member (they will be shipped via snail mail), they also sell kits that make projects convenient.
