Happy Wednesday my fellow crafters! As the leaves start to fall and the air turns crisp, my crochet hook begins to dance with excitement for all things Halloween! This year, I wanted to create something that’s both a little spooky and irresistibly cute, so I designed a crocheted cat that’s ready to join in on the Halloween fun.

Happy New Year!!! 2022 was a year full of great projects and exciting collaborations! I loved sharing my passion for crochet with you all and I'm thrilled to start the new year with new inspiration and ideas. I also have some exciting news: Lion Brand Yarn has decided to sponsor Elisa's Crochet Free Patterns! This collaboration will allow me to continue create and share free patterns on a weekly basis, and I'm very thankful to Lion Brand for their support! I had a lot of fun designing this adorable amigurumi bison! The pattern is quite easy and fast to work, thanks to the super bulky yarn. Legs, Body and Head are worked in one single piece to minimize the number of parts that need to be sewn together. The mane is made of a series of loop stitches (check my downloadable pattern to get the instructions to work this fun stitch) to add some texture to the body! ***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern with more than 50 step-by-step pictures, schematic and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !

Hello my fellow crocheters! Here we are we our last free project of the year. Extremely easy to work, Emilio the Armadillo can make a super cute Christmas gift for your little one! ...and if you are wondering what's special about this creature, here are some interesting facts: armadillos have armored bodies and are able to curl up into tight balls to defend themselves from predators; armadillo are fast diggers with pointy snouts and long sticky tongues that allow them to search for insects underground; armadillos are, for the majority, solitary animals; armadillos also like to sleep—a lot; they are often found sleeping for 16 hours a day. Emilio the Armadillo is worked in 8 separate pieces: Body (from tail to nose), Shell, 2 Ears, 4 Legs. This project is worked with Heartland® yarn by LION BRAND YARN! Made with 100% acrylic fiber that is easy to care for and machine washable and dryable, this sensationally soft yarn comes in heathered and tweedy shades inspired by the natural beauty of the American landscape – each color represents a national park or landmark. ***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern - 7 pages with more than 30 step-by-step pictures and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !
