A Spring 2026 Event!
Not sure what to make with that cotton yarn you just bought on sale?
Or did you want to buy that pretty skein at the store, but you just weren’t sure what to do with cotton yarn?
Now that the major yarn brands are coming out with so many wonderful options for cotton yarns, we need lots of project ideas!
And I’m here to help with 5 Days of Cotton!
a new free pattern every day!
During this 5 Days of Cotton 2026 event, I will be posting one free pattern that calls for cotton yarn each day! On release day of each pattern, you will have the chance to grab the PDF version of that pattern for free that day only (the web version will always live for free on my blog!).
– NEW THIS YEAR –
I’m so excited that, for the first time this year, I have some talented designer friends joining in on the event! In addition to my free cotton crochet patterns, you’ll also get access to beautiful free patterns from these amazing designers. Scroll down to see who our guest designers are!
