Decorate Your Space With Snappy Crochet

Summer is a great time to decorate your porch, home, and work area in bright colors. If you live in the United States it is also fun to show your patriotic spirit, especially this year celebrating our 250th birthday.

My parent’s geese are getting ready for Memorial Day.

I need to go spruce up their porch and it got me thinking… it would be a fun time to bring back a snappy favorite and hold a crochet contest as part of my Birthmonth Celebration.

About the Contest

Combine Snappy patterns to decorate an area to show your patriotic spirit or summer vibes. This could be a porch, desk at work, area inside your home/room, wherever you decorate.

Your space can include a combo of crochet, DIY, and store bought decorations (any crochet items must be made from snappy tot patterns).

👉This is for people with AND WITHOUT geese. If you have a porch goose and want to include it in your entry… GREAT! If you do not, that’s great too!

This is open to everyone! Its always fun to see what people come up with. There is a surprise for everyone that enters by May 31st so please get your snap on!

What if you don’t crochet? There will be a category to showcase entries that include only store bought or other crafts, but please be aware all of the prizes are crochet related.

How to Enter:

1. Crochet an item(s) using patterns designed by me, Snappy Tots in a USA or summer them. You can use a combination of patterns, but please only use Snappy Tots patterns. This is a fun way to show ways to use my patterns together and in return I give everyone a prize, PLUS there are bigger wins too.
2. THIS IS FREE! How much will this cost you? Nothing unless you want to purchase different patterns, but I have several for free on my blog and will be sharing suggestions. Plus, if you need ideas I would LOVE to help. Just send me an email ([email protected])
3. Entries may include ribbons, buttons, and felt items.
4. Enter as many items as you would like, but please only one entry per project.
5. Email a photo (or collage) to [email protected] by May 31st, 2026 with a list of the patterns used in your creation.
   IMPORTANT: Do not include any watermarks on your entry photos to help keep the photos anonymous. A “snappytots contest” watermark will be added to the photo.
6. Winners will be chosen and posted throughout the month of June.

The Prizes

EVERYONE that enters an eligible photo by 5/31/26 gets a prize (one per person).

In addition, several winners will be chosen by a panel of judges to receive snappy patterns, yarn, supplies.

This is not about crochet ability and technique, but about using your creativity and joy of life. Need help with those areas? (me too lots of times!) Send me an email and we can chat about some options.
