I am thrilled to have Marie Segares back with us from Underground Crafter. On Monday we got to enjoy the Little Dots Coaster pattern, and today she is sharing some of her best work with us all. Best part is that all her beautiful designs are available for free.
Designer Showcase ~ Underground Crafter
My name is Marie Segares, and I’m the Proprietress of Underground Crafter. I’ve been crocheting since my grandmother taught me back in 1984. I picked up knitting in 2010. I also sew, embroider, quilt, make hot process soap, cook, bake, and play with my Cricut Explore Air. I get a lot of questions about the Underground Crafter name: I do a lot of crafting underground while commuting on New York City’s subway system. You can visit me online at Underground Crafter, subscribe to my weekly newsletter, or find me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Ravelry, StumbleUpon, Twitter, and YouTube. If you’d like to chat with other crafters, you can join my Facebook Underground Crafters group.
I’m so excited to share 15 of my most popular free crochet patterns with you today!
My For Kyle Baby Blanket is the most popular post in my monthly charity spotlight series. If you like crocheting for charity, you’ll find great patterns and tips for donating in those posts.
The Justine Shawl is one of my favorites and it’s named after my baby sister. (Ok, she’s almost 30 now but who’s counting?) I used a lace weight yarn but this pattern can be easily made in any weight of yarn.
And, speaking of shawls, the Pineapples for Everyone Shawl is one of my first free crochet patterns and it’s still one of the most popular. It’s another shawl that you can adjust to your preferred size using any weight of yarn.
If you’re looking for a simple stitch pattern to work on while watching tv or commuting, try the Piggyback Stitch Warm Up America Block. It’s another design from my charity spotlight series.
And, if you want to brighten up a room with some color, try the Diagonal Rainbows Baby Blanket! This is a pattern that looks more complicated than it is.
The Ella’s Rhythm Shawl is super easy but it has an unusual construction, so I included a video tutorial to help you out. It’s another shawl that can be made with any weight of yarn.
If you’re shipping a baby gift to someone you love, try the Crosshatch Stitch Baby Blanket, which folds up nice and small. It also includes a video tutorial.
Hmmm, I might just love granny squares (or, at least, my readers do!) because the Beach Stroll Memories Shawl is a rectangular shawl that uses a granny square variation, too.
