Rain rain go away... until I make you in crochet! It's the rainy, wet, blechy season here - a necessary evil on the way to spring. In fact it's windy and raining as I write this! It's the May Flowers we want, but the April Showers we must endure first. Luckily there are rainbows, soft and fluffy clouds, and sweet little raindrops to keep our hooks happy! Here are 10 free crochet patterns inspired by the rain and clouds!
