Stylish Spring Accessories
Every spring morning brings a new mystery: Will it be cold today? Will it be warm? Or, will it be hot? Perhaps it will be all three of the above at different times.
This, my friends, is the perfect opportunity to flaunt your knitted and crocheted accessories. Get out your beautiful shawls, your lacy scarves, and your fingerless gloves. (And if you don’t have any yet, now’s the time to make yourself some!)
Be sure to wear several layers of clothing; if it warms up to 100 degrees later, you can always shed a few layers; keep them in a convenient place so you can grab ’em again after the sun sets and the temperature drops.
A handmade scarf is a great way to accessorize. For springtime wear, perhaps you’d like a cotton scarf or a neck warmer instead of a wooly winter scarf.
Jewelry:
Many of our jewelry patterns are suitable for making and wearing in the springtime. Be sure to check out this beaded necklace and this lace crochet choker for starters. Another fantastic option is the “Elegant Trios” necklace, which is included in Sharon Silverman’s brand new book called Delicate Crochet. The book also includes bunches of other excellent patterns for clothing and accessories that are suitable for springtime crocheting, including a lace skirt, glorious shawls and striking tops to wear.
These are not your only options for necklace patterns and other jewelry patterns to make. There are plenty of other options to choose from; click here to see more exquisite jewelry patterns.
Get Your Spring Cleaning On
Have you started your spring cleaning yet? When you’re ready to get started with it, you’ll want to whip up some useful projects such as dishcloths, washcloths and scrubbies to help your tasks along. Be sure to grab some (or all!) of our free patterns for knitting and crocheting these household helpers.
Springtime Holidays
- Easter patterns: Want to crochet an Easter basket? If so, I invite you to check out this page of basket patterns (but please use your imagination, as some of these ideas could stand to be re-colored if you’re hoping to use them for Easter.)
- Passover / Pesach: We don’t have an extensive pattern list for this holiday, however, we do have a free pattern for a wine bottle cozy that fits square bottles of kosher wine. It would be nice for use on any occasion where wine is part of the celebration, including Passover and others.
- Mother’s Day crafts
