Granny Square Crochet Kit

On an aged picnic table lay 12 different colored skeins of solid colored worsted weight silk yarn. There is also a pink crochet hook and two granny squares, made of different blue and pink yarn.

Who doesn’t love a good granny square?! Take a whole pack of gorgeous handmade solid worsted weight yarn with you and make camp while working on a few new granny squares for your next project!

Delicious Headband Knit or Crochet Kit

On a wooden table rests a yarn bowl, a pair of knitting needles, and a half finished headband made of pink, blue, and purple worsted weight silk yarn.

Hot days and chilly nights are a must-have for end of summer camping sessions. If the wind starts to whip during the night while you’re enjoying the breeze, don’t be afraid to crochet (or knit) up a delicious headband in no time at all!

Easy Fingerless Mitts Knitting and Crochet Kit

A pair of hands with light pink painted nails are outstretched, showing off the multicolored fingerless gloves that they are wearing.

Did you forget to pack an extra blanket for those chilly nights in your tent? Well, unless you’re camping for a few weeks, you probably can’t whip up a whole blanket, but you can make these snuggly and warm mitts!
