Guess what!? Memorial Day (U.S.) has passed, and thus summer has officially started (in my hemisphere, anyway) ;)! Woo hoo! I’m going to be on the move this summer – constantly in my car or working. So I need to make sure my crochet bag is well packed so that I can keep up with my summer stitches.

In packing the crochet project bag, I’d like to think about exactly what I need for projects that I can complete on the go. Because I want this to be portable and fun, for intermittent crafting, I am going to recommend a few essentials. Please add your ideas in the comments!

There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Barefoot sandals are great for the beach or any other time you want something fun and decorative to wear on your feet, but still be barefoot. This pattern creates a unique lacy triangle that sits on top of your foot. The straps are tied around your ankles to secure the sandals. These sandals are very quick to crochet. They are crocheted in the round, all in one piece so that no sewing is required. Crochet these light weight barefoot sandals in various colors!

Summer entertaining upon us, and soon it will be time to kick back with lemonade, iced tea, and all our favorite ice cold drinks. Cold drinks mean sweaty glasses, and sweaty glasses mean rings on the table unless you use a coaster. A set of these bright coasters is perfect for an estival get-together. Make a bunch and enjoy the weather with friends.

Using foundation rows is a great technique because they can create the foundation chain and the first row of stitches at the same time. But if you are a fan of foundation rows (foundation single crochet, foundation double crochet, etc.), you may have run into problems dealing with patterns that require decreases to be worked in the foundation chain. While you may just want to create the final number of stitches, decreases affect shaping, so it is better to make the decreases prescribed by the pattern.

To follow this tutorial, you should be comfortable with making a single crochet foundation row.

Turning a circle motif into a square is not as hard as you might think. Simply choose longer stitches for corners and shorter ones for the sides. By the way, don’t you just love the way this motif is excellent for four color choices! I used a coral, purple, gold, and white. What would you choose?

I was thrilled at the wonderful response to my last tutorial, Crocheting with a Peruvian Loom (Wood Block). Since a few people mentioned they’d like to learn how to make a Peruvian loom, I came up with this tutorial.

The goal of this procedure is to make a smooth, firm, cardboard rectangle with the following dimensions: approximately 8″ x 4 1/2″ x 1/2″. Feel free to substitute materials, techniques, or even dimensions in order to achieve your desired result. Enjoy!

Here’s a fun motif perfect for three colors. Choose some from the same palette or make them contrasting, like I have. Use them for a blanket or anything else that begs a motif.
