To celebrate International Crochet Month, we’re sharing 31 days of free patterns to make for yourself, your family and friends, or your crafting circle or neighbors, to donate to charity, or to sell at a craft fair or market.

Love, love the sweater pattern for day 14. And I n.e.e.d. those sleeves! The boxy ones drive me nuts, (it’s a short trip but still) they fall off, they are too bulky in the armpits, the seam is always too tight and doesn’t look good. This looks easy peasy to adapt to be longer.
Thank you so much. <3
Wendi
So many great items! Gets your creative juices flowing!
