Adding Interest with a Custom Ottoman

When helping my clients find the perfect fabric for their sofa's, I have noticed that the majority of my clients shy away from patterns on large pieces. One of the best ways to add a little pattern into your room without committing to a large pattern on your main piece is by adding an ottoman.

Our most popular ottoman at LaZBoy is called the Cory, with a lid that lifts for extra storage and casters to easily move around the room. I have made some visualizations of the Cory in some fun accents fabrics. Ottomans are great for solving your storage problems, adding extra seating and adding a little extra interest to your space.

Free Crochet Patterns

Some crocheters who are well aware of free pattern sites may already know of Crochet Pattern Central. For those that are not aware, it is a complete free site that houses a wide variety of crochet patterns. There are several categories to choose from. Some of the patterns are quite traditional but if you are looking for the basics it is a great resource.

I use it for all the simple item requests I get. Right now I am using it to find a belt pattern for my boy friend. It is great for beginners to find patterns to learn by. I suggest that if you do not want to pay for your patterns try this site first.

It can be hard to search at times. It has links to other sites where the free patterns reside. There are not very many pictures. With a little bit of time you can find quite a bit of fun stuff and its free.

Happy Crocheting!
