Crochet,  Round Ups

5 Great Crochet Ideas

I enjoy looking at crochet round ups for the wonderful ideas and inspiration. I participate in one craft show each year and am always looking for quick, easy and cute crochet items to make for that craft fair.  And I especially like the patterns if they are free!  Are you looking for some cute crochet ideas? Here are 5 Great Crochet Ideas for you to check out.

Beginners and experts will love the patterns.  All the patterns are free on the websites and most have a paid pdf you can get and a couple have videos with instructions.  The patterns are easy to follow and use basic crochet stitches, and there is one where you’ll learn the spike stitch and bobble stitch.

I’m planning on making several of these items for my annual craft fair in November.
