Have you ever heard of the phrase “Christmas in July”? I’m not quite sure of the origin, perhaps it’s a longing for the chill of winter in the heat of summer, or a marketing technique to increases Christmas related sales in July. Either way, in the crochet world it means you better start your crochet projects now, in July, for them to be done by Christmas! In this post I rounded up a few Christmas related patterns and also gift ideas, that aren’t always quick to crochet (especially if you’re planning on making multiples). You’ll need to get started on them right now if you want to ensure they’re completed in time for Christmas!

Kick off summer with a pair of barefoot sandals. If you’re obsessed with bow ties, this pair is designed just for you! The barefoot sandal has a simple, sleek design that is crocheted all in one piece. The sandal has a thin loop that goes around the toe, a straight line that goes up the foot, and simple chains that create straps to tie around the ankle. The bow is crocheted separately then attached to the sandal. The sandal will fit most adults and can be adjusted if desired by crocheting more or less chains.

Fingerless gloves are typically easier to crochet than regular gloves or mittens. They require less shaping since they are fingerless. They can be as simple as crocheting a rectangle and sewing them together to create the fingerless glove shape.

Crochet patterns range from lacy summer gloves to thick and warm winter gloves. In this post I rounded up some of the fingerless gloves patterns that we have on Crochet Spot.

During the warmer summer months, I like to change gears to smaller crochet projects. Items that are quick to crochet are perfect for warmer weather crocheting. Plus I find myself running outside during the nicer weather so I don’t find as much time to crochet, making the smaller, quicker projects perfect. In this post I rounded up some of my favorite small crochet projects for you to crochet this summer. Have fun crocheting and keep those hooks moving, even if it is summer outside!

This pattern set is the same as the original Toilet Seat Cover and Contour Rug pattern, but with the addition of the toilet tank cover, due to popular request. This complete toilet cover set includes the toilet tank cover, toilet seat cover, and contour rug. Choose a yarn that is machine washable so that you can easily toss them in the washing machine when needed. The patterns are crocheted with a large crochet hook and 2 strands of medium/worsted weight yarn held together, to achieve a thick fabric. The large crochet hook makes the patterns fairly quick to crochet. Although not required, apply puff paint along the underside of the rug for an added nonslip grip.

Crochet a rug with this simple pattern that mimics the look of a woven basket. Whether you need a rug for your front door, kitchen, or bathroom, the length and width can be customized to be any size that you desire to ensure a perfect fit. The pattern uses medium/worsted weight yarn which is readily available in many colors. Choose a yarn that is sturdy and machine washable for easy cleaning, such as acrylic or cotton. An unconventionally large crochet hook is used to create a fluffy, thick, textured rug. The large hook also makes the project quicker to crochet. Since the pattern is easily adjustable to be any size you desire, you can also change the yarn and hook size to create larger or smaller stitches.
