Shawls
A spring shawl is a perfect accessory for chilly spring days and cool summer nights. A shawl is a versatile piece that can be worn in many different ways, and it’s a great way to add a touch of color to your wardrobe. Rather than following a pattern, why not learn how to design your own? Tian Connaughton’s Creativebug Class, ‘Design Your Own Crochet Shawl‘ teaches you how to make your own unique shawl. You won’t need to follow shawl patterns after this class. You’ll be able to mix and match your own stitch patterns and borders and create something new every time.
Spring Flowers
One of the best ways to welcome spring is by making some colorful and cheerful spring flowers. Crochet flowers are a great way to add a touch of spring to your home or wardrobe, and they can be made in a variety of sizes and colors. You can use these flowers as decorations for your home, as a gift for someone special, or as a charming accessory to your wardrobe. For example, you can make a bunch of flowers and attach them to a hair clip or a headband to make a unique accessory. Or, you can make a bouquet of flowers and place it in a vase for a cheerful spring decoration.
