Stripes, Patterns, Pattern Mixes, Dots, Checks, Waves + Little Stars: Now It’s Getting Exciting.

Dear users, dear authors,
do you want to spice up your everyday life? Then this is the right thread for you. Get started right away with stripes, patterns, pattern mixes, dots, checks, waves + little stars. Have fun.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

The colorful owl potholders will make your kitchen really cheerful! The scale pattern for the belly feathers and wings looks more complicated than it is. It is explained in detail in the 15-page pattern with lots of pictures. The potholders are crocheted double, so you can slip your hand in from the bottom like into a glove.
I used cotton yarn with a length of 125 m/50 g (Catania by Schachenmayr). You need about 1 1/2 skeins in the main color and 1/2 skein each in the 3 other colors per potholder. So this is also a great way to use up leftovers.

And on we go with pot holders, this time featuring a dotted pattern created by small crocheted bobbles. These pot holders were also crocheted double and are made from Catania cotton yarn (60 g each in the main color and about 30 g in white). The milk jug and the cup fit especially well in a rustic kitchen and are a bit reminiscent of Grandma’s old tableware.
The patterns for the 2 pot holders are available at a special price (20% savings compared to buying them separately!)

Knitting pattern: 3-piece set consisting of pants in any length, overalls, top

Stripes can be charming too! These ones curl cheerfully together into a summery top. You can pair it with short or long pants. If you like, you could also make overalls. All 3 models are knitted. If you’d like more examples, information, and the pattern, just click on the heading.

I hope you have lots of fun with this project - Yours, Ina

Felt shoes with homemade leather soles

Here, too, the colorful stripes line up cheerfully. You can use up all your leftover felting wool for these felt shoes. Following my pattern, you can knit felt slippers with a rim in all sizes. They always fit, are super comfortable, and keep your feet reliably warm.

They’re knitted in one piece. The washing machine takes care of the felting. To make them slip-resistant, either apply latex to the underside of the sole or sew on a leather sole. The pattern explains everything in detail.

I hope you enjoy this project—Yours, Ina

Crochet pattern: Colorful Handicraft Bucket

Stripe by stripe, you’ll create a finished, original handicraft bucket. It’s really child’s play. All you need is lots of colorful leftover yarn, a size 3.5 crochet hook, and a plastic bucket. Your current crochet project fits inside the bucket, and all your crochet hooks and supplies are neatly arranged around the outside, ready to use. Finally, everything can be stored and transported neatly and beautifully.

I hope you have lots of fun with this too - Yours, Ina

This brightly patterned box is so chic that it can be seen not only as gift packaging, but also as a gift in itself: since the dividers are inserted loosely or can be left out altogether, you can use the box for a gift other than chocolates, and afterward the recipient can use it as a storage box.


 
The box is made of cardstock and measures approx. 9.5 x 5.5 x 9.5 cm. As a chocolate box, it is suitable for four chocolates measuring approx. 3–3.5 cm in diameter. It is very easy to make and is also well suited for crafters with little experience.
