CROCHET LINKS
 

Rule

 


Charity Links have been moved to the Charity links page

Information on donating preemie items is on the Charity Index page.

Note that Geocities, Hometown, and AOl have discontinued their web hosting service so any links to those sites will not work. I am fixing them as I learn about them. Many have moved. Just google the name of the site you're looking for and/or let me know and I will either remove the site or search for the new one myself.

Patterns

Please note that the site owners may or may not be the designer of the patterns at their sites. When copying patterns from a site, please keep the name of the designer (and the web site URL if possible) with the pattern.  Please honor any requests not to pass the pattern without permission.

This list is not exhaustive. I have tried to list each site only once when possible, so check the sites thoroughly if you are looking for different things, such as different size squares.
