Valentine's Day is in 2 weeks: And although you’ve naturally given your heart to your sweetheart, this pillow is a wonderful token of love.
What makes it special: The small heart can be removed, giving the pillow a new message.



Here’s the pattern

The pattern is suitable for beginners: chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches are used

Acrylic yarn is a good material choice (it also makes the pillow nice and soft) and a size 4 crochet hook.

Have fun crocheting it!

Full of heart and good for the environment - a wonderful Valentine's gift. The bags can be used for many occasions - whether for everyday shopping, as a beach bag, as an everyday companion, or as a shopper.

Of course, you can combine the motifs and strap variations with each other, so for example, you can also make a bag with a heart motif and long straps, or the bag with the word "Love" as a shopping net with short handles.

Here is the pattern

You can easily make several of these cute wrap bracelets with hearts in a single weekend—and just like that, you’ll have wonderful Valentine’s Day gifts. An absolute eye-catcher and a beautiful piece of jewelry for spring and summer.

If you lengthen the bracelet, it turns into a trendy anklet or a chic belt.

The bracelet is crocheted in one piece, so there’s no tedious weaving in of ends (just the beginning and ending yarn tails). So grab some yarn and a crochet hook and get started.

This pretty pouch is also a lovely weekend project, and you can use it to wrap small gifts in the cutest way. It’s perfect for jewelry but also for lots of other little items.

A small project for the weekend.....



Crochet pattern for an easy-to-wear loop scarf. Start it now and you can wear it out tomorrow.

The crochet pattern consists of just two rows, which repeat over and over. You should know how to make chain stitches, slip stitches, and double crochet, then this loop scarf is also suitable for beginners.
Of course, you can also easily adjust the circumference and width to your wishes by casting on more stitches.
In my 8-page pattern, I crocheted the scarf with three different yarns, and you’re sure to find the right yarn in your yarn stash. The size of the loop scarf can easily be changed with a gauge swatch.


Here you’ll find the pattern
