In this Crochet & Chat, I’m hanging out with you while I walk through five of my favorite spring crochet patterns—some tried-and-true favorites and a couple newer makes that feel extra perfect for this season. If you’re in your “I want something cute, quick-ish, and giftable” era, spring plushies are where it’s at. I share what I love about each pattern vibe (think sweet little ducks, bunnies, frogs, and a goose that is just ridiculously charming), plus what kinds of yarns I like to grab to get that soft, squishy, heirloom-quality finish. I also give you some updates on what I’ve been up to, including a fun pattern test I finished recently: Cranky Critters (from Snuggle Beans Crochet), which is releasing Friday. And because my life is always a little bit chaos-crochet, I chat about what’s coming up—like my next PalmStreet LIVE—and where you can find all my links, patterns, and favorites (including my Amazon storefront and Patreon). If you want a cozy, chatty roundup with spring inspo and a peek behind the scenes, this one’s for you.
