March 29, 2010 - Northbrook, IL-Prime Publishing LLC. an internet media company that operates web sites in the crafting and cooking categories, is rapidly growing and launched a new crochet web site, AllFreeCrochet.com. AllFreeCrochet.com is an aggregate site that provides hundreds of the best free crochet patterns for anyone and everyone. It includes useful tips, tutorials and videos that help users improve their crocheting experience & ability.

AllFreeCrochet.com is different from most sites as it provides free patterns from not only manufacturers, but bloggers, crochet enthusiasts and everyday people. The crochet site was launched because crochet is a growing hobby and the site helps create a one-stop crochet community for users.

As the crochet industry grows there are more celebrities making crochet patterns and getting into the hobby. AllFreeCrochet.com, wants to give women the opportunity to avoid purchasing expensive crochet clothing and patterns, but to get these crochet patterns for free. A few celebrities who crochet include Madonna, Meryl Streep, Bette Midler, Vanna White, and Debra Norville. The site wants to allow women to crochet patterns that even the celebrities are doing.

The Craft Yarn Council of America (CYCA) conducted a survey stating fifty–one percent of yarn enthusiasts buy yarn at least once a month. Consumers are motivated to purchase yarn when they see a yarn they like (58%) and a project they want to make (54%). The Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) also conducted a 2010 survey showing crochet fell in the top 10 craft categories of 2009. It was also stated that crochet made it in the top 10 crafts irrespective of expertise level. 86% of crafters strongly agree that completing a craft gives them a sense of accomplishment, according to CHA reports.

AllFreeCrochet.com just completed a survey as well. Although it was a very close race of why people like to crochet, 78.6% said they like to crochet because it’s enjoyable, while 76% said it was a creative outlet. Many readers said they plan on crocheting more in 2010 than they did in 2009 as it’s a type of therapy and relaxation method.

In just a few months, AllFreeCrochet.com has aggregated an amazing collection of free crochet patterns from afghans to home décor to sweaters. The site provides the ability to find patterns based on hook size, skill level and yarn weight. Consumers can search for their favorite type of pattern just by typing it into an easy-to-use search function. The site also allows the consumers to rate and comment on each pattern to provide a sense of community.
