Crochet Projects for Summer
There are so many different things you can crochet during the summer, without turning your AC on! I know some people don’t like to crochet during the hot months of the year, but I can’t put my hook down even through the hot weather (which get very hot and humid around here!).
I usually don’t go for big and heavy projects like blankets during the summertime, but for patterns that I can make with cotton yarn. For the perfect Summer crochet pattern, all you need is the right combination of the right pattern with a lightweight or cotton yarn. Here are some examples of types of projects that will be good to crochet during summer:
- Crochet summer tops
- Lightweight shawls
- Home decor items
- Sun hats
- Crochet bags
