Ah, spring is in the air - the flowers are beginning to bloom, the birds are starting to chirp again, and it’s time to get down to business and start tackling your spring cleaning checklist. Spring cleaning is one of those necessary evils that makes you feel SO good after you’re done, but as you’re in the middle of it, it’s anything but fun. Luckily, we’ve got some fantastic free crochet patterns to help you get cleaning and get organizing. From crochet dishcloths to crochet basket patterns, we’ve got all the handy little crochet aids you need to tackle your spring cleaning schedule!
Before you get started on much of the organizing,you'll need to start cleaning. In order to do that, we have some fantastic crochet dishcloth patterns for you to use. These projects are perfect for scrap yarn since you can work them up very quickly and have an excuse to work through your stash. You can also crochet Swiffer pads for an easy DIY solution to a dusty floor.
Once you've gone through and cleaned every surface you can see, it'll be time to begin the organizing portion of your spring cleaning adventure. It's really funny how stuff seems to end up everything, isn't it? Luckily, you can keep things at bay, now that everything is cleaned, with some easy crochet basket patterns. These DIY baskets can be made in any size and shape, and there are even a few patterns for ones you can hang, so you can always keep a bin handy. If that's not enough, there are even baskets with animal faces on them! If you're looking for even MORE storage solutions, we even have some crochet hook organizers, pen cozies and other little organizers so that you can keep all of your belongings neat and tidy in one place (not all over and everywhere).
