Crocheted Patriotic Basket Pattern

Make your 4^th July holiday more creative and fruitful by creating this patriotic crochet basket. Use this basket for decor and presenting sweet treats to your friends on this Memorial Day. Working on this patriotic basket is easier than you think by using a double strand of yarn. Use two-color yarn in a weaving pattern. You can create this basket more proficiently by working in stripes.

Red, White, and Blue Plarn Crochet Placemats

Placemats like these would make a fabulous addition to your outdoor picnic table, especially when celebrating holidays like Memorial Day and the 4th of July. They are made with plarn, an interesting material to upcycle for use in crocheting placemats. This free pattern also comes with instructions for complementary plarn coasters.

Note that it's not recommended to use these placemats for hot dishes, but they're ideal when serving sandwiches, salad, pickles, or other similar picnic fares. Best of all, plarn is easy to make (for free) using readily available materials. And of course, you could opt to use different plastic bag colors to make similar crochet placemats without the red, white, and blue theme.

Patriotic Crochet Dishcloth Pattern

Celebrate the coming patriotic day in an exciting and new way by creating these red, white, and blue color dishcloths. For working on this crochet project, you need Red Heart's super soft cotton yarn. Furthermore, use an 8.00mm crochet hook with US terminology to make this adorable and theme-based dishcloth for 4^th July decorations. Firstly, work on each single color strand separately and then on combinations.

Crochet Patriotic Placemat

If you don't want to work with plarn but you do want to make a red, white and blue placemat, then try this cotton crochet pattern from Jessie At Home. This is an easy crochet pattern in that it's worked in single crochet stitches only, but you'll have to do some increasing and decreasing since this crochet pattern is made on the diagonal.

Patriotic Dish Cloth

Fast. Easy. Cute. Can you even GET a better crochet project than that? Oh.. how about beginner friendly?! This dishcloth might just be the best thing you make this week. Pull out some scrap cotton yarn. Hold 2 strands together and work a simple crochet stitch. Changing out one strand of yarn at a time creates a really pretty gradient effect. This looks great in red, white and blue but would also work for other holidays or just as a fun stash busting project!
