Crochet Your Springtime Table

That’s a bowl – a crocheted bowl – perfect for decorating your Springtime decor.  Other than doilies, how can we use our crochet talents to change our decor for the brightness and freshness of Spring?  Here are a few ideas.

First, the bowl.  I like this color, but it can be made any color that suits you.  It might be the perfect centerpiece for renewing the decor of your living room or dining room.  So, let’s start with this bowl.  You can get the free pattern and tutorial  Kathy’s blog.

Near the newly decorated table, there is sure to be a comfy chair or sofa in need of adornment.  How about this colorful and very cheerful round flower pillow?  Just crochet a bunch of your favorite lush flowers and a few green ‘leaves’ to tuck between them, and you ‘ll have a lovely floral accessory.

If you have a black thumb like I do, your kitchen window could probably use a plant or two.  Why not crochet them?  No further care required.  These pretty pots contain ‘real’ plants, but they don’t have to!

Even better is to make the pot AND the flowers so they never need more care in the future!  This sweet pot of pansies could be the perfect touch for your window sill or (since they require no light) a book shelf.  Who doesn’t like pansies??

  2. Love the flowerpot pattern! Esp the little bird. Recently started to crochet cotton caps
    for chemo patients, mostly for children.
    Last night I was looking online for patterns for small flowers apps. I am also going to try to put the little bird on some. I will send pic when I finish one.

Crochet Baby Beanie – A Sweet Beginner-Friendly Hat Pattern for Baby Showers and Handmade Gifts

This Crochet Baby Beanie is one of those simple little patterns that makes a really lovely handmade gift. It uses soft Bernat Softee Baby yarn for the hat, a fluffy Pipsqueak edging, and an optional crochet flower on the side, giving it that cute baby-shower-ready finish.

What makes this one appealing is that the shape is worked in easy rounds, starting with a magic circle and increasing up to 48 stitches before moving into the textured post-stitch section. The fluffy edging softens the whole look, and the added flower gives it a sweet decorative touch without making the project feel too fussy.

I also like that it feels like a pattern you could easily customize. You could skip the flower for a simpler baby beanie, change the colors for a more modern look, or keep the pink-and-white version for a classic handmade baby gift. It has that practical “quick weekend project” feel, which is always handy when a baby shower sneaks up on you.

If you’re looking for an easy crochet baby hat pattern with a soft, cozy finish, this one is definitely worth a look. It’s cute, giftable, and the fluffy trim gives it a little extra charm.
