January has flown by, and it’s once again time to round up the most popular free patterns from our sister sites this month! Over on AllFreeCrochet, AllFreeKnitting, and AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns, it’s clear that cozy, chunky projects prevailed – most of our popular projects were scarves, blankets, and hats! Winter has been hitting us hard lately (especially here in the Midwest) and it’s no wonder that warm projects were the top of our charts this time around.
Take a minute to scroll through our most popular patterns from the month of January! Some of them might look familiar – you might have clicked on them yourself! – but you’re sure to find something you love even if you haven’t checked it out already.

I currently have a Granny afghan with 2 colors and a 6 tone green poncho.
Wish these were listed by craft: e.g. Knitting patterns under one heading and Crochet under another. I’ve just wasted lots of time looking at patterns by name, only to find they are all knitting – and none of the ones I looked at were crochet.
I know you spend lots of time coordinating this newsletter…but it is frustrating to have no idea what’s what when reading it…
Thank you
I feel the same way. I waste a lot of time looking at all the patterns instead of just crochet, time that could be better used somewhere else.
