13 Outdoor Crochet Projects
Ahhh, sweet summertime. The scent of Sunscreen, kids giggling while playing in the sprinkler, the sweet taste of grilled corn on the cob, the warm sun on your skin, and seeing something that you’ve created instead of bought.
We don’t traditionally think of crocheting in the summertime, but there is always a way to incorporate your favorite craft into everyday (yes, even on 100° F days!) life.
Of course I’ll be taking my crochet outside with me, but to keep the kids entertained, I’ll also be enjoying items that I’ve already made myself. There’s no better feeling than looking around and seeing outdoor crochet projects that everyone can enjoy.
1. Giant Crochet Checkers Game This is the perfect pattern to keep both kids and adults entertained for hours.
2. Outdoor Table Mat Need to spruce up your picnic table? Look no further than this gorgeous mat.
3. Target Practice crochet pattern If you have a kiddo wanting to try out for a sport that involves pinpointed throwing, then keep them sharp all summer.
