98 Quilt-Inspired Knit and Crochet Projects

Quilts have been around for generations, and over the years, their beautiful geometric patterns have become ever more complex. They’re a great way to use up fabric and make something wonderful from scraps or to start from scratch and make a stunning design. But a quilt doesn’t have to be made from fabric! That’s why we’ve gathered these 98 free quilt-inspired knit and crochet projects.

The designs are inspired by quilt patterns from the classic patchwork and log cabin to the more complex wedding ring. Buy new yarn to make them, or like traditional quilters, use up your scraps to make a beautiful piece while reducing waste.
