intermediate

These intermediate crochet patterns are for those who have mastered the basics of crocheting and reading patterns. Many of these patterns use the basic crochet stitches to make up beautifully textured stitches and lace designs.

To make these intermediate level crochet projects you will also need to be comfortable with making frequent color changes and shaping your projects by increasing and decreasing.

A few of my favorites are:
