I am looking for a crochet pattern for the Confederate flag. I would like to see if anyone has one in the granny square pattern stitch.
Kim from Summersville, WV
I used:
Crochet hook G
Worsted weight yarn: Burgundy 1000 grams, Navy 500 grams, White 300 grams (Red Heart Comfort Yarn, sold in 454 gram balls, I used two plus a bit of the burgundy/wine/dark red, one 454 gram ball of dark blue/navy, and two 200 gram balls of white, with left over yarn. I also found that the use of "bobbins" or some other method of working with multiple colour changes useful)
Stitches used: Chain, Single Crochet, and Double Crochet
Chain 205 with burgundy
Row 1: single crochet burgundy in second ch from hook and in each chain after - 204sts. Chain 3, turn (Do not count chain 3 turn as a stitch in the row: each row must consist of 204 double crochet stitches, plus the chain 3) Remainder of afghan worked in double crochet, until very last row.

I am looking for a crocheted Oklahoma University afghan pattern?
By Evelyh West from Sulphur, OK
Well, double crochet a purple background and outline a Powercat logo and the letters "Kansas State University Wildcats" with white yarn in the center of the afghan! I'm joking! I'm joking! Just a Big XII friendly rivalry remark that I couldn't stop myself from typing! :-) I'm so bad that way!
All kidding aside, check with craft stores, fabric stores or yarn shops in Norman, Oklahoma (maybe even Oklahoma City). A lot of the stores and shops in the hometowns of Big XII schools cater to the school's fans and try to stock University logo related merchandise. If an employee simply says "No, we don't have that," ask to talk to a manager who could possibly be alerted to a customer request and look for such a pattern through their individual suppliers.
Congrats to the Sooners for the Fiesta Bowl Game win and good luck finding the afghan pattern you are seeking.
Hi. I was also trying to find a pattern for an OU afghan to no avail so I went to the OU site and copied a picture of the OU logo and saved it to my pictures. Then I went to a free site for making a graph. Using this I figured using an H crochet hook each 4 stitches equaled 1 inch, using triple crochet each stitch was 1 inch. So you can make the afghan following the graph pattern. I am working on it at this time. If you need any further suggestions please feel free to contact me at wiley.m@cox.net
I would like to have a crochet table cloth pattern that I can crochet myself. Thank you.

You will no doubt get a lot of information from your request. I have an idea you can either use or if you really want to do that much work, go for it! If you want the same effect however, please keep this in mind. You can either go to the dollar tree and get the same style of doilies for 2/1.00 and tie them together with pretty ribbon or crochet them together just a few stitches. Or, you can do the same thing with thrift shop doilies, which means you can have different styles and colors, giving your table a unique and much faster point of interest. If you do either one, why not show us?
Good luck!
Go to allfreecrochet.com and look on your left hand side scroll down for patterns. You will have to sign up for the site to down load. Hope this helps.

By carol from Goose Creek, SC
I have these websites saved in my Bookmarks as Crafts and have a special folder named Crocheting & Knitting. The first website has lots of pet items to crochet, and the send website is an easy crochet pattern. If this pattern isn't to your liking pick another one from their long list.

Does anyone know where I can find a free crochet pattern for a simple lady's cardigan? I've tried looking online, but they all seem complicated or with fussy frills or lace. I plan to make it for an 80 year old lady with arthritis who just needs to keep warm.

Does anyone have a knitting or crocheting pattern for a man's peaked hat? I don't mean a baseball cap I mean what I might call a bargeman's hat with a peak. I have tried shops and the internet but patterns there tend to be for ladies and I need a man's pattern because my man has a large head!
Try using the women's pattern with larger needles. Calculate for size.

Karen from Tri Cities Washington
Hi! I found an awesome throw on the Michaels.com website. It is made from Bernat Soft Boucle yarns and works up very quickly. Check out the website as there are many crochet projects to choose from.
I am crafting for people in hospice/nursing homes. I find a need for crocheted and knitted capelets (that have no sleeves and can be fastened with one button). They are for terminal patients whose shoulders are always cold and who cannot be put into a sweater. I have a couple of patterns (from Internet), but would like more.
Hi, I don't have any patterns. But---May God Bless You!! You're such a sweetie, to be doing this. After seeing my brother in law die with cancer, a few months ago. He was always cold, these items you're making are soooo needed. This world should could use more compassionate people like you!
I'm also crocheting for nursing home clients. I crochet mostly afgans. I would also like to crochet caplets. I need patterns. If you have any please e-mail them to me at orcacrafts @ mchsi.com please in the subject line caplet pattern as i do deleate any mails sent to me that I do not recognize to prevent spam and virus
Thank You and the eldrly thank you

Hi,
I'm a weird person... Has anyone seen the "Glade" commercial with the Crochet Lady. She's making little covers for her smelly cones... the old air fresheners. She's making a Christmas tree and at the end she tells them next time she'll be showing them how to make this cute little bunny cover! Its hilarious for me, a crocheter! So my question is as a joke, does anyone know were I could get a pattern for a cute little bunny or even the tree? I have a knitting and crocheting group in my home and thought it would give us all a good laugh!
I guess I am weird too. I love that commercial. Especially her bunny face at the end. I always giggle when I see it.

I wasn't too fond of the commercial, since I crochet and kinda took offense at the way they portrayed the lady. At any rate, lol.... I know of a lot patterns, and find them by using search engine and putting in free crochet pattern ________?_______ of whatever I am looking for. Also, joining an online group (yahoo or msn) that is just for crocheting (and or knitting) gives you access to others. I am a Happy Hooker in an MSN group that consist of the most wonderful group of "hookers" in the crocheting craft.
:)
I was just reading through all the interesting comments about the crochet commericial. I actually work for Dial and if someone has an interesting crochet idea for the Renuzit Adjustables, I can ask to have the directions posted on renuzit.com to share with other crafters. I think they have quite a few craft ideas on their website but no crochet stuff. Happy to do it!

Does anyone have a pattern to make my own checkbook cover? Hopefully, in either crochet, knit, or plastic canvas. If not, then whatever. But I need a new one and I'm not willing to pay the exorbitant prices the bank and the other places ask.
