If your daughter, niece, sister, or friend is anything like my daughter, they are in love with Disney's Frozen (and I just can't help but fall more in love with my daughter than when she puckers her lips to see The Snowman song -- so. cute.). What would be a better gift than their very own Frozen-inspired apparel or doll? Here is a list of my top 8 favorite Frozen free crochet patterns.

11 Free Crochet Pet Costume Patterns and Their Matching Master Counterparts!I've heard many times throughout my years how dog owners and their dogs tend to look alike. In fact, I remember Disney's 101 Dalmatians pictorially commenting on the phenomenon in the opening credits. And, as of lately, NBC News and LiveScience have actually reported on studies that conclude that chosen purebred canines do tend to resemble their owners nearly two out of three times. Why not take it to the next level by crocheting coordinating ensembles for Halloween? Here are my top 11 favorite crochet pet costumes and their matching master counterparts! 1. Witch2. BumbleBee3. Monster4. Leprechaun5. Clown6. Blooming Flower7. Princess8. Lion9. Fast Food Favorites10. Pirate11. FedoraIn celebration of my first "made-to-order" item, I am giving you the scarf pattern that I created for free! It all started when.... I decided to make my mother-in-law a funky scarf for Christmas. After looking at many, many free scarf patterns, nothing was quite funky enough. So, I decided to create my own! Utilizing a lattice pattern that I have crocheted with before, I ornamented the design, and voila, created the Funky Lattice Scarf. From what I hear, she wears it a lot. So much so that a teacher who works at her grandson's (my nephew's) school asked for one herself! Here is the pattern. Hope you like it, too!
