Summer is here and school is out and lots of us are thinking about taking a road trip. So what to knit or crochet on the adventure ahead? We don’t want something too big because of space and we don’t want something hot on our laps. We also don’t want something so involved and complicated that we can’t quickly set it aside for an activity or pitstop. Here are a few project ideas using two of my favorite yarns at A Little Knitty: Ricorumi and Ciao.
First is Ricorumi cotton yarn that come in a variety of colors, some are even sparkled. They are ideal for the road since they are small and very packable. This yarn would be perfect to make “Amigurumi Tik Tok Bee” by Crafting Happiness. These smiling bees are so so cute and you can crochet them in different sizes and make a bee family! The pattern is available for about $3.42 on Ravelry.
Another one that caught my eye is “Fast Food Set” by Joyce Overhaul. How perfect is this to make on a road trip with the hot dog, hamburger, pizza and tacos. This would be another fun crochet project using Ricorumi’s bright colored yarns for the lettuce tomatoes and cheese! The pattern collection is $9.99 on Ravelry. This may seem pricey but it includes: the hamburger, bagel with cream cheese, large and small taco, hotdog and pizza slice.
For the knitters I’m highlighting Ciao superwash. It also comes in a rainbow of colors and in convenient 50g balls. “Bappity Baby Hat” by Marianna Mel caught my eye. It's a quick and easy knit that would make a nice gift for the new baby. You can make it solid or striped and add a pom pom or bow accent. It would be an eye catcher in Ciao’s bright colors! This is a free pattern.
Last pattern is a Christmas cowl called, “Winter Wonderland Cowl” by Cheryl Laventar. I know its only summer but July is next week and this is a great “Christmas in July” project. In the “Projects” pictures for this pattern on Ravelry, someone used Ciao red(014), green(011) and white(002). I love this combination together. It is $3 on Ravelry.
Hope this makes your yarn packing easy as you hit the road! Happy Travels!
