February 2024 Pattern Roundup!

 

It's that time again!

Time for me to make a blog post with a really terrible header graphic because I do not care enough to make a good one, but I insist upon having one. At least the colors are kind of nice this month?

If you're new here, I'm going through my booksmarks for this here pattern roundup series theme or whatever you want to call it. I'm deleting dead links and sharing the un-dead links with the internet. Live links? Live links sounds better and less like zombies. Unless you're into zombies then we'll go with the undead links. I deleted A LOT of dead links while preparing for this month's festivities. A LOT. I think this was the most dead I've deleted in one go so far. It's a shame too because some of them looked like they may have been really cool.

Check out the previous installments of this series here, here, and here, if you're interested.

This is another all crochet month and there's also a round-up within my round-up again. lol

All images belong to whomstever they belong to, unless specified and I made one of the whatevers. Whatever whatever. So on and so forth. Get some inspiration. Words words words. Words for the internet robots. Get crafting!

Hobbes

FREE Crochet Pattern by sukigirl

I made a Hobbes! The pictures is the one I made. There's actually two patterns on this page. Or, well, a pattern then a link to another pattern. Patterns within patterns within patterns. Patternception. The Hobbes I made (pictured) is actually sort of a combination of both of these patterns, I think. It was a while ago when I made him. Anyway, good patterns. Do the youths these days even know about Calvin and Hobbes? I'm out of touch with the youths. 

Simple Slippers

FREE Crochet Pattern from The Spruce Crafts

I intended to make a pair of these and never got around to it. Then I forgot about the pattern entirely. Now I've been reminded. Will I forget again? Yes, probably. I don't enjoy knitting socks at all. I thought I might like crocheting foot warming devices better? Who knows? This patterns looks pretty easy and straight-forward. Lots of sizes. Lots of pictures. They look cozy. 

Gumdrop Slouchy Hat

FREE Crochet Pattern from Gleeful Things

 

Did I make one of these? I feel like I may have but it was so long ago that I can't be certain. I know I've made similar. I'm sure that I've knit similar, because it reminds me a bit of Jerry Horne's Mother's Hat. Anyway, if you need yourself a slouchy hat, this one looks nice. The pattern is very short, very easy. Make a hat.

Postal Worker Puppy

FREE Crochet Pattern by Ollie+Holly

 

This is one of the cutest amigurumi I've ever stumbled upon. Everything about it. Just look at it. Fun fact: I've always wanted to work for the post office. I think it has to do with Newman from Seinfeld. I don't know. I really have no idea, but anyway...I think that's why this caught my eye. His name is Max, apparently. There's also a paid PDF version of the pattern here. This fella is part of the "Everyday Heroes" Collection, which includes three other hella cute amigurumi: a nurse cat, grocer bunny, and a firefighter panda. If you're interested in the whole crew then you can find all of the patterns here. Maybe one day I'll get around to making a postal worker puppy!

C2C Fox Block Blanket

FREE Crochet Pattern by The Friendly Red Fox

Me and foxes and me bookmarking every single fox pattern I come across ever. I also love c2c, you know, so here we are. Do I need to make more blankets? Absolutely not. Am I going to keep this page bookmarked? Absolutely, yes. I wanted to do a kind of rainbow gradient fox head thing for this if I ever decided to actually do it. The chart is really easy and the blocks are small. It would work up pretty quick if you already know how to do c2c. 10/10 recommend if you need a project for a gift like a baby blanket. Cute!

10 Crochet Beanies

A Pattern Roundup from The Spruce Crafts

Well, well, well, if you've been paying attention you will realize that The Spruce Crafts was featured already in this roundup and now here they are again with a beanie roundup that is within my roundup for a nice bit of crochet patternception. This is a really good assortment of hats of all different styles. There's a very cool plaid beanie, which I think is the original reason I bookmarked this page. I'm a sucker for plaid. I almost like plaid as much as I like foxes. These patterns are a mix of free and paid. Scroll on through them if you're in need of a crochet hat or some good hat inspiration. Also, check out The Spruce Crafts in general. There's a lot of good stuff there. It's a good site to keep on your radar for lots of craft projects.
