Celebrate Relaxation Day With Knitting and Crochet

Happy Relaxation Day! It may be Monday, but it’s still the day for chilling out, hanging in a hammock, and having a mellow time. Since it has been shown that knitting and crochet have many health benefits, including stress reduction, they make a great addition to your relaxing celebrations.

Anyone who has any experience with either craft knows how meditative it can be to sit and work on something simple, like the kind of project where you don’t really need to pay close attention to the stitches because they’re repetitive and basic. You can lounge with a drink or movie and work on them while you tune out the world around you.

It can be great to zone out with an easy pattern, so celebrate Relaxation Day with one of these:
