A little something for those days when it’s just too hot to crochet!

Let’s be honest…

As much as we all adore crochet, there comes a point during a summer heatwave when even the smallest project starts to feel like you’ve wrapped yourself in an extra blanket!

If you’ve been looking at your favourite WIP thinking, “I’ll come back to you when the weather cools down,” you’re definitely not alone.

That’s exactly why I’ve created something a little different this summer…

Over the next three weeks, I’ll be sharing a collection of FREE printable summer crochet colouring pages, designed especially for yarn lovers.

Whether you’re waiting for cooler evenings, taking a break from a larger project, or simply fancy a relaxing creative activity with a cup of tea (or an iced coffee!), these colouring pages are a fun way to stay inspired until you’re ready to pick your hook back up again.

Crochet Meets Summer

These aren’t ordinary colouring pages.

Every design has a crochet twist!

You’ll discover scenes such as:

• a beautiful crocheted beach umbrella
• a relaxing crochet hammock
• a granny square project bag filled with yarn
• a whimsical yarn ice cream sundae
• a crochet-inspired sandcastle
• a seaside washing line filled with handmade crochet garments

Each page celebrates everything we love about crochet while embracing the sunshine, holidays and slower pace of summer.

A New Free Printable Every Few Days

Rather than releasing them all at once, I thought we’d make a little event of it!

A brand-new colouring page or two will appear here every few days over the next three weeks, so be sure to bookmark this page and pop back regularly to collect them all.

As each one is released, I’ll add it to the collection below.

Why Colouring?

Colouring isn’t just for children.

Many crocheters tell me they enjoy colouring because it lets them switch off for a while without having to count stitches or concentrate on complicated patterns.

It’s wonderfully relaxing, encourages creativity, and who knows…you might even discover your next favourite yarn colour combination while you’re colouring one of these pages!

They’re also perfect for:

• relaxing in the garden
• taking on holiday
• keeping the grandchildren entertained
• rainy summer afternoons
• winding down after work
• spending quality time with fellow yarn lovers

Print Them Again and Again

Each colouring page is available as a free printable PDF in both A4 and US Letter sizes, making them easy to print wherever you are.

Try colouring them with:

• colouring pencils
• fine liners
• gel pens
• alcohol markers
• watercolour pencils

Every version will look completely different depending on the colours you choose.
