Easy Garments to crochet
Have you always wanted to crochet a sweater, but haven't known where to start? Or maybe you believe crochet garments can't match the drape or style of knitting.
Our free crochet sweaters, cardigans, ponchos and tops will convince you! Crochet garments can be both flattering and as easy as combining a series of rectangles.
You'll find a range of sizes in each of our garment patterns, including plus sizes. Many of our sweaters extend to size 5X. Plus our free crochet patterns often include many customization suggestions, which means that you can make a one-of-a-kind piece of clothing that fits your body and style.
