Isn’t this yarn absolutely gorgeous?
Katy of KT and the Squid dyed this special colorway for a crochet along that we are hosting together later this month. This crochet along just needs one skein, the perfect summer crochet along!
“When you dream of summer, do you think of sitting on the beach with your crochet in hand? Get ready to get hooked on a fun design that you can work up and take with you in your travel bag. If you know basic crochet, you will enjoy this design as a relaxing project.”

The crochet along event will begin June 20th but throughout the month we will reveal sneak peaks of the design, see the sneak peaks and full reveal below!

Right now you can head over to KT and the Squid shop on Etsy and order the Caribbean sock yarn. She has shared a coupon code for me to share with you! Use the coupon code CARIBBEAN for 15% off your order which is valid until June 30th! I loved working with this yarn, it is so soft and the colorway is beautiful too!
