Popular CAL Patterns That Are Still Available for Free!
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.
These Popular CAL Patterns are still available for free online. That means you can go and get the entire pattern all at once, instead of waiting for each installment to be released and then make the project as you have time.
You also get the benefit of making something that many other people have already made and therefore tested for accuracy so you know the pattern is perfect.
The Designer still provides support for many of these patterns too – so if you have questions and you can’t find the answers already in the post or comments for the pattern, just send off an email to the Designer and ask 🙂
I hope you enjoy these Popular CAL Patterns and remember to PIN the post for later (or to share with your friends) if you don’t have time to go through them all today!

Hi Rhondda:
I was wondering if you could direct me to the Frida’s Flowers pattern? I’ve searched for it but get an “error page” when I click on the link(s) provided.
If you have any ideas, I’d appreciate it. The CAL is under the 2016 CAL’s. Thank you!

All the best,
