I love collections like these but unfortunately, there are times when the link to a specific project just disappears. Everyone says that the Internet is Forever, but sometimes things do fall through the cracks. Thats why as soon as I spot a pattern Im interested in working up, Ill either download it or at the very least, use the Save Page function to capture the webpage in its entirety. I can later copy and paste into a document and include any photos, too.

I am looking for the pattern for the twisted headband in the lower left hand corner of this picture, can anyone get me a direct link?

Hi kirsten, Unfortunately it looks like the blogger's site that the earwarmers were hosted has been deleted. I'm sorry for any inconvenience! Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochet

can't really see the tiny picture very well, so I don't know if this is the right one.

I love this website, I use it daily. My only wish is this page had an app I could download to take me here. Keep having beautiful patterns you are the best.

I like to come across this type of patterns for quick, easy crochet items for one reason. Well, many reasons but one is to take along to doctor office visits. I always seem to be waiting a long time and I could be making my Christmas presents all year long while waiting. It sure beats reading three year old magazines!

I am just learning how to crochet, but there are so gorgeous projects here!!! I love them!!!
