If you have little ones, like my daughters, they always ask you to do something for them, and usually there should be two of everything so that they don’t fight for it, the oldest is usually like me.

I have a small amount of types that are not filled with smaller projects of different weights, so using some stuff for the collection is a great way to make room for new filled balls whenever I get the chance to refresh my yarn supply.

The great thing about these little kids’ patterns is that it gives you the chance to play and experiment with different yarn weights and to see the difference in a project without using a ton of yarn as it would in an adult-sized version.

Today I have a free collection of crochet patterns for kids. This collection includes some options in a variety of sizes for both boys and girls. I’ve included the type of thread and hook used for each pattern to help you find the best fit for you depending on the thread you have. I hope you find a pattern that will work for you in this collection.
