Nordic Star Window Valance

Farmhouse Curtains
If you are looking for something a little bit more modern, then I am sure you will appreciate these chevron farmhouse curtains. I really like the look of the 3 separate panels here, but you could also just make the 2 striped panels longer if you want a more traditional curtain.

Ok I know that this is a blanket pattern, but hear me out. There are a lot of crochet curtain patterns out there that use filet crochet, so that got me thinking about all the amazing blanket patterns there are out there that also use filet crochet.

Common Questions About Crocheted Curtain Patterns
If you are making window curtains from yarn, I would recommend cotton thread or cotton yarn, as these shouldn’t fade as much in the sun, even the bright colors (especially if you choose mercerized cotton). A lighter weight (DK weight yarn or lighter) acrylic yarn could also work if you don’t have cotton on hand.
Absolutely! There are plenty of options for this type of curtain. Look for a filet crochet curtain pattern to get the look of net curtains. You can make a filet crochet curtain panel for french doors and other longer windows.
It’s easy to make curtains with a simple curtain crochet pattern from our list. You can give your windows a little flair with DIY curtains that you made yourself – even if you are a beginner.
