things to crochet this summer
if you’re anything like me it’s very hard to find crochet inspo for the summer time!
i see a ton of blankets, scarves, sweaters, but nothing else!
so ive put together 4 things that you can crochet this summer!
•crochet shorts - there a ton of patterns for shorts, and I prefer to use cotton yarn, it was a simple rib stitch for the waist and double crochet stitch around the bottom
•crochet beach bag- i also used cotton and added handles for a unique touch! this was also just a double crochet stitch with single crochet into the handles
•granny square halter top - simply make 3 granny squares and sew them together, then add chains on 4 corners to tie it when you’re ready to wear it!
•strawberry keychains - there is a pattern on my page if you’re interested in these keychains! it’s very beginner friendly with single crochet and chain as the main stitches! strawberries always give summer vibes:)

Summer is the perfect season to explore lightweight and practical crochet projects that combine style and comfort. Cotton yarn is especially popular during this time as it is breathable, easy to care for, and ideal for warm weather garments like crochet shorts and beach bags. For crochet shorts, cotton yarn combined with rib stitches at the waist and double crochet stitches at the hem creates a comfortable and stretchy fit, ideal for casual summer outings. These shorts are versatile and can be paired with a variety of tops and sandals for a chic summer look. Crochet beach bags are not only functional but also an expression of creativity. Using simple double crochet stitches and single crochet for sturdy handles, a beach bag made from cotton yarn is both durable and stylish. Adding unique touches such as colored stripes or appliqués can make your bag stand out on the sand. The granny square halter top remains a trendy summer staple. By stitching together three handmade granny squares and adding chains for ties at the corners, you can create a custom, handmade top suitable for beachwear or casual outings. This project is beginner-friendly and offers room for customization with different yarn colors and square sizes. Strawberry keychains provide a fun and quick project perfect for beginners. Using basic single crochet and chain stitches, these cute keychains add a playful summer vibe to your keys or bags. They also make great handmade gifts or craft fair items.
