If there’s one thing I know about summer, it is that my family will be grilling out at least twice a week. This new, free crochet pattern for a Grilling Apron is the perfect gift for the grill-master in your life!
Grilling Apron Crochet Pattern
In our home, the kitchen is located on the main floor and the grill is located out back, and down a flight of stairs. Depending on what you’re cooking, carrying all of the necessary grilling accoutrements in one load (not to mention a plate or platter) can be cumbersome or flat-out impossible.
This Grilling Apron pattern is equipped with a sturdy strap, four medium sized pockets, and one large pocket to aid in all your grilling needs. The medium pockets are great for your meat thermometer, cheese singles, to hold your beverage while you flip the burgers or baste your meat, a cell phone, or whatever else you fancy. The large pocket is plenty large enough for either a bottle of BBQ sauce, your favorite dry rub, tongs, etc.
Since this is using Comfy Worsted, a delicious blend of cotton and acrylic from WeCrochet, we can wash the apron as often as needed.
