Great Crochet Project Ideas for Spring!
It’s finally starting to warm up and the days are getting longer again! Those are some of the best signs that Spring is finally returning to those of us here in the Northern Hemisphere! Spring is one of my personal favorite times of year, as the warmer weather is returning and all the beautiful colors of flowers blooming and animals coming back are just incredible to watch! But it does bring a bit of frustration, as that means that whatever projects I’ve been working on aren’t necessarily going to be able to be used anymore. The weather just doesn’t work anymore for beanies, scarves, and sweaters. So what should I make now?
If that has been your question at any point recently, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I’ve got some great ideas and suggestions for what you can make until the weather cools off again and you can pull out all your winter projects again!
Save this post for inspiration later!
Washcloths
If you need a quick and easy crochet project for that quick win, you should try making a few washcloths! Use cotton yarn, and you’ve just made your very own usable washcloth! These are also great if you need a quick housewarming gift or any other last minute gift idea!

2. Lightweight Cardigans
The perfect accessory for any outfit during the Spring is a crocheted cardigan! Lightweight cardigans are such a quick make that adds the perfect touch and is sure to get you compliments!
One of my personal favorites is the Daphne Cocoon Cardigan by Sincerely Pam!
3. Short-sleeved Tops
If you don’t want to quite give up making garments during the Spring months, consider picking up a pattern for a short-sleeved top! There are so many wonderful crochet patterns out there for these tops, with so many varying and wonderful designs!

4. Pot Covers
Spring brings out the inner gardener in us! Now that we have all these plant pots in our homes, how about you make some pot covers to help spruce them up a bit?
My Winding Trellis Plant Pot Cover is perfect for this!
5. Lightweight Scarves
Just because we’re going into Spring doesn’t mean you need to stop making scarves! There are so many patterns out there for lightweight scarves, you just need to search for them! These scarves are generally made with either fingering or sport weight yarn instead of worsted or bulky weight yarn.

6. Socks
Socks are more a knitter’s go-to, but that doesn’t mean crocheters don’t have options for making socks either! They are great if you have some fingering weight yarn laying around that you don’t know what to do with, or even a bunch of scrap yarn to make some scrappy socks!
Check out my Twisting Ivy Socks to get started!
7. Blankets
Blankets are great long-term projects! You can make a baby blanket, a king-size comforter, or something in-between! So many patterns can be chosen from with many different yarn choices, so you don’t need to limit yourself to the lighter weight yarns for blankets this Spring!
Don’t know where to start? Check out this Blossom Baby Blanket from Rhelena!
8. Amigurumi
Amigurumi are perfect projects for any part of the year! They make the perfect gift for friends, kids, loved ones, or even just yourself! They’re also perfect for using that acrylic yarn you’ve had in your stash for a long time and don’t know what to do with!
If you don’t know what amigurumi you should start with, check out my Dragon Plush, No-Sew Octopus, Highland Cow, and Tori the Spinosaurus!
9. Granny Squares
Granny squares are such a versatile project! You can make them in any color out of any weight of yarn. Additionally, there are so many different types of granny squares—the regular types, solid granny squares, daisy squares, and so many more! And when you have a pile of them stored up, you can turn them into pretty much anything! Bags, blankets, cardigans, sweaters, hats, and more!

10. Bags
Bags are such a great project for everyone, whether experienced or a beginner, because there are so many different ways to make them! You have your bucket bags, backpacks, crossbody bags, clutches, and so many more! There are so many bag patterns out there, that you are guaranteed to find one that works for you and whatever yarn weight you have!
