Crochet Patterns Online from Get Crochet Patterns
Welcome to Get Crochet Patterns, where you can download crochet patterns online and start crocheting right away. Every pattern is a digital download that lists the key details up front, including finished size, yarn, hook and approximate yardage, so you know exactly what you need before you begin.
Whether you want a single animal motif or a set of matching pieces, you will find written patterns in US terms that you can follow at your own pace.
Animal Granny Squares to Crochet
Our growing collection includes animal granny square crochet patterns such as the giraffe, lion, zebra, llama, sloth, raccoon, bear and Cape fox. Each square is a written pattern worked in DK yarn with a 4.00 mm hook. Most squares finish at 20 cm x 20 cm (about 8″ x 8″), and the raccoon and bear finish at 15 cm x 15 cm (about 6″ x 6″).
The lion, giraffe, zebra and Cape fox belong to my South African animal granny square series, so you can collect them one at a time and build a safari-themed set. Join several squares into a blanket, make them into cushion covers or frame a single square as nursery décor.
Crochet Shapes Patterns for Any Yarn
If you prefer something more flexible, try the 8 crochet shapes pattern or the 10 crochet shapes pattern. These patterns include the circle, triangle, hexagon and octagon, and the 10-shape set adds a diamond and a semi-circle. Gauge is not important, so you can make the shapes in any yarn and any size.
Use them to teach shapes and colours, make two sets for matching games, or sew them onto cushion covers and blankets as appliqués. Please note that these patterns only give the instructions for the shapes. They do not include instructions to make a whole item from them.
What You Will Find in Each Pattern
Each pattern page lists the details you need before you start:
- Finished size of the square or shapes
- Yarn weight and colours
- Hook size
- Approximate yardage
- Pattern terms, which are US crochet terms
- Other materials, such as a darning needle to weave in the ends
Ideas for Your Finished Crochet
Many crafters browse crochet patterns online to find handmade gifts and home décor. A finished granny square or set of shapes can be put to work in plenty of ways:
- Join animal squares into a baby blanket or a cosy throw
- Turn a square into a handmade cushion cover
- Frame a finished square for a nursery or a child’s bedroom
- Sew crocheted shapes onto a blanket as colourful appliqués
Each square is its own pattern, so you can start with one design and add more whenever you like.
