Rays of Sunshine Ornament Crochet Pattern - August Ornament of The Month By Sara Sach Crochet

 Rays of Sunshine Ornament
🌞Crochet Pattern🌞
August Ornament of The Month


Rays of  Sunshine 
Christmas Ornament And Summer Ornament
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
                       

The Rays of Sunshine Ornament Crochet Pattern is fun
 to stitch up and makes a nice Christmas
 ornament,too. It also makes a nice August
 Ornament for Summer.


Here in Oklahoma August seems to be our 
hottest month of the year and it sure is this year.
Hang your Rays of Sunshine ornament in the window
 or out on your patio, porch or in your garden. 
The Smiling face will not cool you down,
 but it will make you smile.

You can use stuffing or the flat plastic 
ornaments. 
I purchased them last year, and have some left.
but again, Stuffing works great too.


I designed my Rays of Sunshine ornament using 
traditional Sun colors, but you can make
 yours in any colors you choose.

Whether you decide to use tradition Christmas 
decorations or Summer fun decorations, 
Be sure to add wiggly eyes, ribbons, felties, flatbacks,
 buttons, bows and beads for whatever you would
 like to personalize them.

May Flower Ornament of the Month Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Crochet

 May Flower Ornament of the Month
 Crochet Pattern


The May Flower Ornament is the May 
Ornament of the Month
 For Our 2026 Crochet A Long.

You can choose to make it look like a Christmas
 poinsettia or a Spring and Summer flower
 like a daisy or sunflower. 


Make a bunch in bright Spring or Summer colors
 and decorate your house, yard, porch and patio.
Make them into a bunting for decorating the mantle.
Add them to flower arrangements or baskets.
They make a great touch to a dining or living
 room table, also. There is so many wonderful
 uses for The flower ornaments.

This crochet pattern is also a scrap happy
 project as well. Mix and match colors from
your yarn stash. Use up those medium (4) weight
 yarns and make lots of colorful and 
pretty decorations.

Add a thin ribbon hanger with beads for hanging. 
Add a button or beads to the center.
Any embellishments of your choosing.
Lots of button and bead stash ideas for 
embellishments. 

I love how fun they are to stitch up and pretty
 they are when completed. I am going to hang 
some on my trellis for a lovely bright
 touch of Spring and Summer.

 April Ornament Of The Month 
 Yarn Basket Crochet Pattern



The April Ornament Of The Month
 Is A Basket Full Of Yarn!


It can be made to have a Christmas theme
 with Christmas colors,
or use any colors you like.


Adding all kinds of different details like buttons,
 ribbon, beads, crochet hooks, needles and 
stitch markers that you have in your craft stash.
This such a fun project to make for 
yourself or for a gift.

I did not add a hanger, As the basket handle
 can be the hanger, or you can add
 a traditional hanger  is desired.


I had so much fun designing this ornament.
I just hope you have as much fun as I did.
there are so many color and theme
 possibilities for this ornament.

If you are not sure how to roll up the little balls 
of yarn, I do show you in the video 
how to roll them and secure them
 from coming unrolled.
