This little door wreath is very decorative, can be crocheted from leftover yarn, and is absolutely beginner-friendly. It has a diameter of 12 cm and fits perfectly in any small corner that might otherwise look a bit bare. Wouldn’t this make a nice little gift for Easter or Mother’s Day?
You’ll need:

• leftover cotton yarn (125 m/50 g) in white and shades of pink
• a Styrofoam ring, 12 cm in diameter
• 1 2.5 mm crochet hook
• a few small beads
• the pattern, which you can find here: CLICK!

Any beginner can make these fruity coasters or glass lids! The hole in the middle is just the right size for a straw, so you can also use the coasters as glass lids to keep insects or leaves from falling into your drink when you’re outdoors. If you make the coasters a little bigger and crochet a loop onto them (as described in the pattern), they’ll turn into handy pot holders.
Take a look through your leftover yarn to see if you have matching colors—then you can get started right away!

Knitting pattern Loop Featherlight

So it’s very, very easy to make. However, it does take a little perseverance. You’ll love the result! Thanks to its feather-light material (cashmere), the Loop Featherlight is truly delicate, soft, cozy, and feather-light. Once you’ve worn the Loop Featherlight, you won’t want to be without it. It will simply become a favorite piece of clothing. You won’t want to take it off.

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

PS. By the way, at first I thought the color beige on the skein was a bit boring, but in hindsight it turns out to go well with many colors. Which color would be yours?



Oh, one more thing ... the very slim can also wear the Loop Featherlight as a bolero:

In fact, all my patterns are written to be beginner-friendly!
As an example, here is my latest creation:
the Cutie Hippos!

These tiny hippos are easily crocheted from a few scraps of cotton yarn and are perfect for decorating, playing with, or as keychains. The little hippos are only 7 cm tall.
All you need to know is single crochet, the magic ring, and crocheting in spiral rounds; everything else is explained in detail with written instructions and pictures.

Even knitting beginners will get their money’s worth in my shop too! In addition to a great and simple cozy sweater and a comfortable throw blanket, you’ll find the
Cable scarf “Meeresgrund”
in my shop.

I used:
Lady Dee’s Traumgarne W03 Meeresgrund, 4-ply (70% acrylic, 30% wool), 750 m, 300 g, but any other yarn will work too!
In addition to the written pattern, I’ve included a photo tutorial that explains all the cable crossings, the stretchy bind-off, and how to use a lifeline while knitting.
