Free Patterns for Valentine’s Gifts

By Twistie

via Berroco Fine Knitting Yarns

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… in crafting terms. If there’s a special someone you would like to give a handcrafted expression of your affection, now is the time to get started. But what to do? My dears, the net is chockablock full of fun free craft patterns for nearly any technique your little heart desires. That’s right, every one of these pretties is a free pattern!

For instance, those charming knitted and felted hearts shown above? Are explained in detail in a free PDF from Berroco Fine Knitting Yarns. They’re easy and fast to make, but I bet someone would love to get one of these. I know I would!

But what if you’re not a knitter? Ah my lovelies, I haven’t forgotten about you. Read on and see what goodies I’ve found.

If cross stitch is your craft poison of choice, here’s a pretty sachet you can fill with something sweet after you stitch it.

Or perhaps you’d like to weave some holiday place mats like these:

I could even see that pattern adapted into a table runner.

Or, for something a bit different that even your kids could help with, how about this ingenious homemade Magic Eight Ball? Gotta love the idea of making one of those at home!

Whatever your preferred craft, whatever the occasion, there’s bound to be instructions out there for free that will help you do Cupid’s work… or, you know, yours.
