Welcome to ChristaCoDesign, where I share free crochet and knit patterns, stitch tutorials and helpful videos. I enjoy creating patterns that are simple to make and easy to love.
I often create crochet and knitting patterns that are beginner friendly. My patterns includes photo and video support when possible. Some of my favorite patterns to design are crochet blankets and easy, chunky knit blankets. One skein patterns are a fun and satisfying challenge. Finding the best way to use that one ball of yarn creates endless opportunities.
Do you crochet garments? I love designing sweaters and cardigans that are made simply, with easy stitches. You can crochet them too! Crochet hats are also a favorite. Fast, functional and fun to gift hats are some of the best makes.
All of my knitting patterns are beginner friendly. These free knitted patterns use simple stitches and techniques for a relaxing knit. You can read more on my About page.
