7 Crochet Patterns to Make in May

1. Mother’s day pillow

This crochet Mother’s Day Pillow features the words ‘Mom, Mama, Mommy, and Mother’ with a heart in the top right corner.

The pillow uses color changes to create the words and the non working yarn is carried behind the panel so there is no need to join lots of bobbins.

This pattern uses single crochet stitches and is worked up of 2 separate panels that are then sewn around an 18″ pillow insert.

For yarn I used Red Heart Super Saver but feel free to use any medium 4 weight yarn.

2. spa set

Give mom the gift of relaxation with this Spa Set!

This set includes a plush headband which is perfect for keeping your hair back when washing your face or applying your makeup. It also includes a pair of wristbands which keep water from running down your arms when you’re washing your face!

This crochet Spa Set works up quick and easy!

For yarn I used Bernat Blanket Yarn which is super soft and squishy! It is really comfortable on the skin and can be washed and dried in the machine!

3. flower facial scrubbies

These Flower Facial Scrubbies are perfect for washing your face, removing your makeup, or applying toner!

They work up super quick and easy, plus they only use a few yards of yarn! They’re a great project for using up any left over yarn you have!

These Flower Facial Scrubbies also use Bernat Blanket Yarn so they’re really comfortable on the face and they’re machine washable!

Add these reusable face pads with the Spa Set for the ultimate gift for mom! Want to take it an extra step?? Wrap them up with these paper wrap labels to make them look even more professional!

4. crossroads vest

The Crossroads Vest is the perfect layering piece for Spring and Summer!

It features an open, mesh design so it’s great for warmer weather. It also uses fun, crossed triple (or treble) crochet stitches which create a unique look!

This crochet vest includes 9 sizes ranging from XS-5X so you can make one for anyone!

I used Circulo Natural Maxcolor Cotton Yarn. Cotton yarn is a great option for warm weather wearables but feel free to use any medium 4 weight yarn.

5. picot beverage holder

The Picot Beverage Holder pattern includes 4 sizes for any size cup or can!

You can use it on hot or cold drinks and it’s perfect for keeping your hands dry from condensation!

It features the picot single crochet stitch which is a tiny bumpy stitch which looks cute but also provides great grip for your hands!

6. picot ice cream pint holder

If you like the Picot Beverage Holder you’ll love the Picot Ice Cream Pint Holder!

This is a crochet cozy for your pints of ice cream!

It’s perfect for keeping your hand warm when you’re enjoying your favorite ice cream!

7. country cottage basket

The Country Cottage Basket would make for a great gift basket for mom!
