EASY CROCHET MINI BACKPACK CROCHET PATTERN
We are headed into my favorite month of the year: June!
June has the longest days of the year, the perfect nighttime temps (in my neck of the woods), fun things happening in the garden, the lawns are the greenest. Summer hold so much potential and excitement in June.
With the last days of May wrapping up, the kids are finding lots of do and I am find more crochet time! There are so many things to work on during the warmer months: fun accessories, wall decor, baskets, bags and more.
While working on a hat design and searching for a yarn that was suitable, I came across Lion Brand Rewind. Admittedly, I’ve had two hot pink skeins sitting in my stash for longer than I can remember; I simply didn’t know what to make with it.
Now that just seems silly.
A while back, I tried making a summer hat with raffia and had to quit soon after because the raffia was wearing blisters into my fingers. This yarn works up similar to raffia, without the trauma to your hands.
Lion Brand Rewind has the solution (PS, this is not a paid ad for Lion Brand, I am simply pleased that it worked so well for this bag!)
