There are thousands upon thousands of free crochet patterns and tutorials on the Internet. However there are some that have really taken off and become super popular because they’re easy yet eye-catching and addictively fun to make. If you haven’t tried them, here are twenty popular crochet tutorials to bookmark and attempt at some point.
1. African Flower Motif
African Flower Crochet from Heidi Bear
The African Flower Motif is gorgeous especially when it’s made really colorful. My favorite patrón de crochet libre for this design comes from the tri-lingual blog Heidi Beans. She also offers a free crochet tutorial that shows how to join-as-you-go with the African flower motif.

Hexapuff Lap Quilt from Crochet Works
Hexipuffs are stuffed hexagons. They became popular last year when Tiny Owl Knits came out with the beekeeper’s quilt pattern, which is knit hexipuffs, and then crocheters made their own version. Hay una Descarga gratuita Ravelry called The Apiary Puff for folks who want to try this cool design.
