Depending on where you live, there might still be snow on the ground but rest assured: spring is right around the corner. In this fresh issue of I Like Crochet, we’re featuring colorful, practical and spring-ready projects aimed to get you in the mood for the new season ahead.

Let’s kick things off with the Earth to Crochet section, featuring earth-toned color palettes and scrap friendly projects. The Sustainable Squares Bucket Hat is one of my favorites. Adorned with mini granny squares in blue and white, this trendy project is perfect for crocheters of all skill levels – plus it’s just so cute! Next, make yourself a new bag: we’ve got two patterns to choose from: the Bamboo Bliss Market Tote and the Boho Rainbow Revival Tote. Both projects are perfect for donning during your next trip to the store or brunch with friends. Pair it with the Scrap Savvy Crochet Top for an outfit that’s sustainable, trendy and fun to create.

Next, let’s gear up for spring with the Color Me Tropical section, featuring new tops, adorable fruit-inspired hair accessories, a gorgeous lace canopy cardigan and even a lace dress that is elegant, lightweight and covered in lacy details (it’s a must make and a must see).
From kitchen classics like textured cotton towels and gingham dishcloths, to colorful wearables you’ll want to make all season long, we hope you discover your next favorite pattern — and share it with a friend!
