Picks of the Week for May 4, 2018

April showers bring May flowers indeed! There are two separate crochet flower projects to enjoy in this week’s picks, and they’re both so, so beautiful. Designs like those are great reminders of how well crochet lends itself to floral projects! And let’s not overlook that absolutely adorable crochet kids’ backpack – I envision this pattern being especially useful for folks with Dora the Explorer fans in their lives (seriously – whip that up in purple with some eyes, and the kids will go nuts!). So much fun!
