The Edlothia shawl is a beautiful, diaphanous and gauzy shoulder throw most evocative of a dragonfly wing. It's likely the best summer shawl in terms of lacy, airy structure. Moreover, the delicate color gradient beautifully highlights the “almost-not-there” ephemeral structure of the shawl. This is a slightly more challenging pattern which befits a garment as gorgeous as the Edlothia shawl. Take it on as a challenge; as a way of keeping interested, if you are more advanced, and as a way of upping your game, if you're not.

To begin with, this easy-peasy baby blanket is a traditional, simple baby throw with a gently textured surface. Thus, this one will be ideal for an outing to the park in a traditional bassinet pram.

However, if long and flowing is your thing, this poncho cardigan is definitely going to be your thing. While it also exhibits a limited color palette, it is a much fuller and bulkier garment, perfect as a day coat or a sweater for a spring outing.

Keeping in the category of the best bunny crochet pattern, spring bunnies will be perfect as Easter decorations when you put them on the shelf or a side table. Their small size definitely makes them a wonderful addition to Easter gifts.

Earth, wind, sun, fire, indeed this crochet mosaic potholder has it all. Moreover, you can make each of the elements in any color you choose, to really liven up the table.

If you've already made swirl and roller coasters, why not put in a little additional effort and crochet a holder? Simply, wow, this set of coasters and a holding basket is out of this world, and definitely giftable.

Staying in blue tones, here is the next gorgeous shawl idea. The Pemberley Shawl pattern is free for a limited time. So if you like it, I suggest you download it as soon as possible. While this shawl is a little thicker than previous ones, it may still be a good summer accessory in harsher zones with bigger daily temperature amplitudes, or for women like me, who are sensitive (or even oversensitive) to a cool summer wind.

To summarise, the name says it all. Indeed, between the gentle texture and the soft but well defined color palette, there's little you could add to this description. This project is, furthermore, a great example of a pattern where the main stitching also defines its own edge, without the need for a separate border, if that's your preference.
