Mother’s day crochet ideas
Thinking of crocheting something special for mom to give as a mother’s day crochet gift? Mom’s tend to love things made by their children even after they are grown ups.
Gifts can be categorized into ornamental or practical (you know, things people actually USE). Let’s look at some pretty things mom may enjoy unwrapping on her special day.
Summer or winter crochet slippers for mother’s day gift

Warm weather is coming just as mother’s day approaches and cotton slippers are delightful to slip on when the chill of the AC blows. They cover the feet without being tight and can be customized to any width or length. There are so many feminine crochet slipper patterns and because it’s a relatively small project you can work them up quickly.
This pattern shown is one idea to get your gift wheels turning..

I designed project trackers! This is the large print version for tired eyes. So much easier than using apps, scraps of paper or a plain notebook.
Three project sizes, a handy ruler and hook guide inside the cover and plenty of rooms for notes in each pattern.

Regular size print here.
I have had bad eyesight since age 18 so large print is a godsend when you can’t see apps and dark yarn, let alone going from one to the other on a crochet-a-thon during a netflix binge.
