Join me this year, 2019 for my FREE pattern release of all the lower case crochet letters. Why did I decide to write a lower case crochet pattern font? Well, one of my most popular Etsy items that people order for customization is from my listing to custom make letters. You can see that listing HERE.
But, I am frequently asked if I can make some of the letters lower case. And, up until now, my answer was no because I didn’t have the pattern for lower case. My uppercase font comes from the book 201 crochet motifs, blocks, projects and ideas by Melody Griffiths – the 2007 edition. There are later editions that don’t have the alphabet (I think) so don’t get the wrong one if you are looking for the book I have.
Anyway, so, I decided to write my own lower case font.
I will release all the letters this year for FREE right here on my blog. So, check back with me often. All patterns are located here on my blog. You will find individual links below for each letter or you can find a PDF on my ETSY that has them all right HERE.

I steam block almost all my crochet work. Animal parts, scarves, granny blocks, etc. When you steam block a piece made from acrylic yarn it relaxes the fibers a little – they become softer and lay flatter and just look more professional and finished. It also refreshes older yarn and gets rid of static if you are using any wool fibers – steam blocking just adds that final, professional touch that makes it worth it. Be careful! You never want to touch the iron to your piece unless you are “killing” it – which is also a great thing to know how to do for things like appliques or letters you are adding to a projects. So, make sure your steam is super close, but that your iron doesn’t touch. It is super fast and easy – if it fits on my ironing board it gets steamed. It is done in a matter of minutes compared to wet blocking.
I did just replace my old iron that had seen better days with a new model that steams vertically and horizontally, and I LOVE this iron. It steams better than any that I have ever used. I do get a small affiliate commission from any items purchased through this post and that helps me support my family so I can bring you free patterns and tips right here. If you are in the market for a new steaming iron or hand help steamer for your own work these are the two that I use almost daily.
