    Part of having a crochet blog is watching the interest in crochet wane as the warm weather hits. I understand. You’re at soccer games, the swimming pool and on vacation more in the summer. BUT, guys, the perfect pastime to bring along on these summer adventures is a nice lightweight crochet project.

    The warm weather can be a perfect opportunity to learn how to crochet amigurumi or make some bucket hats.

    Many of the free crochet patterns below would be so easy to stash in your beach bag and carry-on. (Get more free summertime crochet patterns here and here.)

    And the bonus? You’ll make some super wearable, usable and perfectly customized clothing and accesories in the process. Win win!
