I don’t stop crocheting just because the weather gets warmer … I just think of cooler projects to crochet! I aim for lightweight, portable, and of course bright sunshine-y colors. I had a fun lime green cotton yarn begging to be used so I made up some chunky doilies to place around the house. And of course I wanted to share my crochet doily pattern with you 🙂
