When it comes to home decor, it's little details that make the biggest difference in how a place looks. Paint colors, furnishings and lighting are important, but I don't really feel at home until I start adding cozy crocheted details -- afghans, rag rugs, pretty pillows.
Whether you're moving into a new place and starting from scratch, or just looking to dress up your current digs, these free crochet patterns will give you some ideas for fantastic home accents you can make. These projects would also make great housewarming gifts for friends, loved ones and colleagues.
