We’re getting into the dog days of summer here – hot, humid, and did I say hot? But good things come with all that heat: Sprinklers, Popsicles, and Watermelons! Our little family only buys a couple of watermelons a year, but there’s just something about them that says summer. So to celebrate this seasonal staple I’ve rounded up 10 free crochet watermelon patterns!
