It’s no mystery why anyone would want free crochet apron patterns. For one thing, aprons are practical and protect your clothing while cooking or cleaning. They’re also easy to remove if they become stained, and their roots hail to the 50s when aprons were worn by everyone in the kitchen as they baked crumbly apple pies from scratch.

But aprons aren’t just for cooking anymore. Today, aprons have much more gumption. Aprons are colorful, have bigger pockets and are used for gardening, for entertaining and even for style.

These free crochet apron patterns boast a variety of uses for every day. So get your crochet hooks ready and make yourself some useful, and adorable, free crochet apron patterns. And with so many uses and colors to choose from, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t create an array of aprons to wear throughout the week!

Aprons used to just belong inside the kitchen or wrapped around a chef as he or she prepared a meal, but today, aprons are making a comeback - and a cute one at that!
More Than An Apron (above, left) is a great example of an apron that’s practical and stylish. Crochet this apron to wear while baking or throw it over your favorite pair of jeans and a tank for a comfy, homemade outfit.
