The crochet version of booking a one-way flight
June's box is now open to new subscribers! Subscribe by 12th June to make sure you don't miss out on this box...
You know those projects that instantly make you feel like you should be crocheting beside a pool with an iced coffee nearby? June’s box is very much that project.
Inspired by retro Palm Springs vibes, sunshine, and a slightly unreasonable amount of holiday daydreaming, this month’s make is playful, summery, and designed to bring a little escapism to your stitches (even if you’re actually crocheting in the garden wearing three jumpers because it’s still somehow only 17 degrees).
Introducing... The Palm Springs Box!
Meet the Palm Springs Bag: a fun twist on the classic granny square bag. Each square a tiny palm tree framed inside an arch motif. With a nod to Art Deco and nostalgia, it's exactly the kind of practical-but-pretty project I love most.
This box is for anyone who loves crochet projects that feel relaxing to make and genuinely exciting to use afterwards. If you enjoy portable projects, satisfying repeats, and bags that make you feel like the main character on holiday, you’re going to love this one.
What skills will I learn?
The Palm Springs Bag is a brilliant project for building confidence with motif crochet and construction techniques. You’ll learn how the palm tree motif is worked, along with joining methods and finishing details that give the bag its polished look.
Once you settle into the rhythm, it’s the kind of project you’ll find very hard to put down.
What’s included?
As with all Curate Crochet Box kits, everything you need is included, so you can simply open the box, grab a cold drink, and start stitching:
- 3 x 100g balls of cotton yarn
- Our signature black and gold crochet hook
- An exclusive seasonal stitch marker
- Printed pattern with step by step pictures
- One-hour video tutorial access
- A yarn needle and any other accessories you might need
The cotton yarn gives the bag a lovely structure while still keeping it lightweight enough for summer adventures, beach trips, farmer’s markets, or simply carrying around snacks and crochet supplies in style!
A project made for summer
I designed this imagining squares being crocheted on sun loungers, trains to the airport, and long evenings in the garden. The motif construction makes it easy to pick up and put down, so it’s perfect for summer stitching on the go.
And the finished bag? Equal parts practical and fabulous.
Whether you’re heading off on holiday or just mentally there already, I hope the Palm Springs Bag brings a little sunshine to your crochet time this summer.
Is this project for me?
Absolutely! Every one of our boxes comes with a 16-page printed pattern booklet, step-by-step photos and an exclusive video tutorial, typically 60 minutes long.
So no matter where you are on your crochet journey, you'll find everything you need to help you make up this month's box.
I'll walk you through each skill and technique in turn in the video, so that we make along together.
Am I tied into a subscription?
Nope! Curate Crochet Box is designed to be super flexible. All our projects are revealed each month before your renewal date, so you can skip a box if it's not your cup of tea, or if you are busy that month. Or you can cancel anytime if you need to - all from your own account.
How to join Curate Crochet Box
Sign-ups for June's box are open now, but only until 12th June. Once this box closes there's no guarantee the kit will be available in future. If you are already one of our subscribers, you don't need to do anything! The box will be posted to your door with everything you need to make it.
Or, if you are looking for a present for the yarn-lover in your life (or yourself, we're not here to judge) you can purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month gift subscription too...
