Amigurumi fans can rejoice at the fact that they are no-sew, as well! Just look at how small and cute they are! And think of all the colors you could make them in without even using much yarn. The possibilities are endless!

Carnival Glass Top by Sati Glenn
This open-stitched top, made in gorgeous rainbow colors, is the perfect cover-up top for summertime! Wear it over your favorite camisole for a lacy accent on a casual summer outfit; or wear it over a bathing suit or bikini top after hitting the beach! I am in love with the color and shape of this top, as well as the delicate accents on the bottom and sleeve edges. And just look at the band below the bust! It’s all so beautifully constructed!

Rainbow Sprinkles Handbag by Pine Tree Crochet
What a cute, bright and functional handbag this is! Heading out for a day of summer fun? Don’t forget to pack all your essentials in this beautiful rainbow handbag! I love the name and look of this bag, because as you may already know, I’m obsessed with rainbows. But I also love that beyond the fun coloring, the stitching on this handbag is absolutely superb! I love the pattern that’s made by the way these stitches work up. I think the fun name of this pattern makes it almost impossible to not use rainbow yarn at least once to work up the pattern, but I bet this handbag would look great in solid colors too! Why not make a bunch and see what happens?!

Paradise Beach Tote by SweetPotato3
If there’s a perfect tote for a day at the beach, this Paradise bag is it! I absolutely love the color work on this bag, which spells out “Another Day in Paradise”. Oh, and did I mention those handles?! With the adorable tassels?! This beach tote is a summer must have!

Oh Sandy Hair Scarf by Rebecca Velasquez
The first thing I thought of when I saw this pattern and the title was “Grease” – and sure enough, that served as some of the inspiration behind this adorable hair scarf!!!

Water Bottle Holder by Carroway Crochet
This water bottle holder is perfect for summertime walks and being on the go! If there’s one thing that getting more active due to having a new puppy has taught me, it’s that you need to stay hydrated when getting active outdoors in the warm weather! I love that this water bottle holder has an open stitch, almost similar to mesh, making it flexible for different kinds of water bottles. And if you decide to make yours in red, white, and blue, you can use it all summer long for the various patriotic holidays that occur throughout the summer like Fourth of July and Labor Day!
