15 Beautiful Modern Crochet Patterns

Meadow Sage Baby Blanket

Meadow Sage Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

We all enjoy that moment when we get to stop and appreciate our completed handmade crochet pieces. The simple design of the Meadow Sage blanket lets us achieve that feeling just a little bit sooner as the finishing touches are built into the blanket as we work. The border is created at the same time as the body of the blanket.

Winter Path Scarf

Free Crochet Scarf Easy Pattern

I designed the Winter Path Scarf with two ideas in mind: 1) it had to be an easy crochet scarf and 2) it had to have a built-in border. When you get to the last row of your crochet scarf, you are finished.

This simple child’s crochet shrug pattern is a perfect choice for gifting.  A delicate little part jacket and part shawl, the shrug is a great addition to your wardrobe in fall and spring when you just need a little something extra to stay warm.  This child-sized shrug, soft aster, is a personal favorite and is sure to become one of yours as well!

Chrysalis Thick and Cozy Cowl Pattern

Cowls are one of my favorite things to wear in cold weather.  They are like a scarf, but I don’t have to worry about the ends dangling, getting caught, or in my case, getting dirty while outside in the garden. The chrysalis is a stunning crochet cowl pattern that combines a nice thick bulky yarn and a combination of half double crochet and double treble crochet stitches.
