Mother's Day is right around the corner. Don't let this occasion creep up on you. Build in extra time for yourself to create something with your hands. Have you thought about crocheting something special to treat your mom? I've put together a list of ideas that will help even the busiest person to find the time!
As you might remember, my dear mom has been gone for ten years now, and it has hit me a bit emotionally this year. I crocheted this rose in her favourite shade of purple, and I'm placing it on my memory shelf in my living room. It makes me smile and think of her when I walk by.
What will you by crocheting for that special lady in your life?
- Millie the Love Mouse - It's so sweet it may make your teeth hurt. Includes a heart for the mini mouse to hold.
- Dumpling Kitty - I love this chubby little amigurumi cat. If mom has a cat, make one in matching colours.
- Sachets of Love - Quick little pouches to hold any small treasures.
- Chunky Basket - This can be used in so many ways. Fill it with your mom’s favourite lotions and soaps. This could also be made even more special with your own T-Shirt yarn.
- Crochet Bag - This colourful bag would be a fun way to use up your scraps.
- Kitchen Kolors Trivet - This one has been around for a while is always popular. The colour options are endless.
- Picnic Basket Shawl - Just as the name implies, this is a great take-along piece that will roll up nicely to fit in your bag. I would splurge on nice yarn for this one myself.
- Crochet Small Earrings - Match these to a nice shawl for a whole set.
- Storm Clouds Pillow - This features an envelope style closure to make washing the pillow cover easy.
- Moroccan Tote - If you love the look of tapestry, you will not want to miss this one.
- Summer Sprigs Lace Scarf - A stunning piece for those cool summer evenings. Mom will treasure this one.
- Ahh, Spa Slippers - For a really special treat, include a gift card for a pedicure with these.
- Crochet Fanny Pack Bag - Create something for the mom on the go!
- Nubbie Scrubbies - Nice little facecloth for another spa basket idea.
- Rose Bouquet - This pattern has a nice tutorial to explain how to wire each flower and use floral tape.
- 11 Crocheted Cactus Patterns
- Cheerful and Lifesize Flower Tote Bag - Make a miniature for a doll or for your mom. Lifesize includes a free tutorial.
- Crochet Walker Organizer - Your mom may need extra hands to move around. This pattern is an organizer for a walker.
- Deceptively Larger than They Look Lunch Bag - Pack a lunch and take it with you. Or maybe pack some knitting or crochet. Grab and go!
This beautiful bag is number 5 on the list.
