Blankets, cardigans, afghans, tank tops, shawls, and more. They’re all on our list of the best patterns from this year. How many of them did you make?
Dear Crocheter,
What a year it’s been! A year full of challenges, but also opportunities. With so much of life in flux, it was a relief to have the familiarity of a reliable creative outlet. Crochet is more than a craft — it’s a way to center ourselves; a way to express our creativity; a way to shake off some of the day-to-day stress, one row at a time. From beginners through experts, we’re happy to have been able to share new patterns and techniques to crocheters of all skill levels.
These “Best of” collections are always fun to put together, and this one was especially interesting. We tallied up the patterns published in this year’s issues that got the most views on our website, and created a collection for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re new to crochet or you can crochet in your sleep, there’s something here for you to make for yourself, for friends, for family. This collection includes everything from weekend projects to easy beginner patterns to more challenging designs.
When we were done sorting things out, we discovered we had a few themes in this year’s Best of 2021 Crochet Patterns:
- Summer of Crochet: Think beach.
- Sweater Weather: Bold lines, trendy looks.
- Unique Crochet: Clever construction, versatile uses.
- Blanket Statement: Unique stitches, gorgeous results.
- Breezy Sweaters: Who says all sweaters have to be warm?
- Breezy Cardis: Catch a breeze in style.
- Tanks A Lot: Tank top patterns that rival anything you’ll find at the store.
- Favorite Cardigan: Cozy is key.
- Best Southwest: Southwest-inspired accent pieces.
The 25 designs you’ll find in Best of 2021 Crochet Patterns are the most popular patterns we’ve featured this year. Whether you’re new to crochet or you have a home full of crochet projects you’ve made over the years, we’re happy to have you here. We hope you enjoy the Best of 2021 Crochet Patterns from I Like Crochet.
Each one of the patterns in I Like Crochet includes:
- Complete stitch instructions
- List of materials, notions, and hook size
- Pattern and special stitch notes
- Finishing instruction
- Full color, detailed photographs of each pattern
The Ivanna Chevron Sweater is the bold and beautiful sweater you’ve been looking for. The singular solid V motif is a real eye-catcher. The unique and clever construction of the front panel will be an enjoyable endeavor for intermediate and expert crocheters alike. Plan to finish this project in about 2 weeks. Use our color combo or choose your own!
For a perfectly portable project you can put together in pieces, the Linen Stitch Gingham Blanket is a modern twist on a traditional gingham quilt. This is a great project that you can work on whenever, wherever. The 25 linen stitch rectangles are in a straightforward pattern that’s easy enough for beginners and interesting enough for experts. Whatever your skill level, you’ll love the cozy feel of this blanket when it’s finished.
The Convertible Pocket Shawl is one of those fabulous projects with great visual interest combined with a super-easy pattern. The two angled pockets sport decorative buttons, and the shawl conceals three invisible fasteners so you can convert the shawl to a capelet! There are instructions for three sizes, and you can easily customize the fit. You could have this mostly done by the end of a weekend.
We’re also happy that the Jade Lace Curtain made it into the Best of 2021 Crochet Patterns collection. We love to see patterns that look intricate and challenging, but that are actually easy enough for beginners to take on. This is a winning pattern no matter your skill level. The light and lacy curtain pattern is totally customizable to the window you want to put it in. Enjoy the view through an elegant, lacey project you made yourself!
The Best of 2021 Crochet Patterns collection is a wonderful way to end this year and start next year. Each one of these designs is a winner on its own, but together? This is a powerhouse of the most amazing new designs from 2021.
This collection has something for everyone. From the Westerly Duster Cardigan to the Crochet Bed Pocket you’ll find something colorful and creative to make. The Wind River Rug is reversible, and sure to brighten your living room or bedroom with its earthy colors. And the Harmony Hairpin Lace Afghan is an explosion of color and comfort!
We’ve had a great year of fabulous crochet patterns. Which project will you choose first?
