FREE Valentine's Day Treat Bags by Blackstone Designs
Looking for a fun Valentine that’s quick and takes little supply? These are it. Mini Treat Bags are so fun and have so much potential! They could be made for kid’s classrooms, teachers, or even a spouse. The hearts on the front are a wide open canvas to add your own personal touch with fabric paint, patches, surface crochet, or whatever your heart desires.


Pirates Cove Cowl by Harvester Products
Cold weather bother ye? Argh! Not when you’re wearing the Pirate’s Cove Cowl! I don’t know why but this just seems pirate-y to me! Maybe the fringe reminds me of Davy Jones’ tentacles!



Glamour Love Sweater by Glamour4You
Make a statement in this Glamour Love Sweater anywhere you go! The mesh work of the sweater will allow for air-flow, so you will stay & look COOL!!  The sleeves are designed with a Cut-Out Shoulder. And the Split-Bottom design will allow the bottom edge of the sweater to fit any size hips without being too tight & puckering!



Heart Washcloth by Sandy's Cape Cod Originals
I can't think of anything sweeter at Valentine's day than one of these washcloths. Imagine all the sweet treats you could include with it to make a Valentine's Day gift that anyone would love...a bar of specialty soap, hand sanitizer, lotion, or a few pieces of decadent chocolate. Proceeds from this pattern benefit one of Sandy's sick friends. 




Bottom Up Beanie by You Drive Me Crafty
The Bottom Up Beanie is exactly that! It works from the bottom up to give you a change of pace. Both the brim and hat are done in half double crochet so very easy to follow along. In addition to the beanie pattern there are instructions on how to turn this adorable hat into a slouch, add a brim, add a pom pom or add a puff stitch heart (or several) for Valentine’s Day!





Kate is offering the small heart base with boarder from her Battle of the Stitches for free in hopes that you will join in her angel baby service project. Whether you find a local hospital to benefit or send them to Kate for her to donate, this is a precious opportunity to serve those who in need.




FREE Scrubby Pattern by Snappy Tots
I love that Heidi designed a scrubbie to actually hold nylon net scrubbers. There are many patterns that crochet around the net that you have to throw away when they are worn out. What makes this pattern special is that you simply replace the nylon scrubber when it wears out and you can reuse the crochet portion! Recycle, reduce, reuse! 




Zen Clay Hooks by Day by Day Crochet
If any of you follow us on instagram, you know we are slightly obsessed with Jenn's hooks. Impossible to choose a favorite, but this new zen style super-cool!




Bear-y Snuggly by Hatched with Love
Take your choice...Valentine's hat or snuggie!  How cool that this can be made as either a hat or stuffed animal! Jennifer was so creative with this design. Sizes baby - adult. 



Human Heart Lovie by Misty Makes 
Here's an interesting spin on a Valentine's lovie. Such a unique comfort item and may even offer an educational opportunity for little ones. Photo tutorial included!


My Valentine Beanie by Knotted Notions
This lovely textured beanie would be so much fun to make! This pattern brings simple and basic stitches together to create an alluring texture and design. You can play with the colors and the color placement to really allow your creativity to show. Working one round in each color can change the appearance of this beanie so much! With this quick to work up and simple pattern, you can create so many different variations in just one day!





FREE Starburst Square  by Trifles & Treasures
Seriously one of the most beautiful crochet afghan square patterns I have seen. Complete instructions, photo diagrams and tutorials included. Tera did a great job on the texture, color and design of this 12 inch square.
