Pentecost is strawberry season! Decorate your strawberries in a completely different way—with the Strawberry Flower Child! It comes with a strawberry plant with a blossom and fruit that is almost indistinguishable from a real strawberry. The flower child is approx. 12 cm tall and has movable arms and legs thanks to built-in wire, so you can display it in different positions.
To crochet it, you’ll need leftover cotton yarn in skin tone, red, green, yellow, and white, a 2.5 mm crochet hook, stuffing, chenille wire, and floral wire.

How about a gorgeous shawl? Crochet it on vacation, then wear it straight to dinner? 

Double crochet, single crochet, slip stitches, and chain stitches are used for this shawl. For the yarn, I chose, for example, 150 grams of Schachenmayr Tahiti (yardage 280 m / 50 g).

Here you’ll find the pattern and more yarn suggestions

A cozy cotton pillow is loved even in summer, for example on a lounge chair. This pillow cover has a reversible pattern and is different on both sides.

This pattern definitely won’t get boring. It’s very easy to knit using the slip-stitch technique. The other side is just as easy. Regular knitting experience is enough, because everything is explained well.

A lovely garden project and also great for giving as a gift.

that suits any season, especially Easter. The wreaths shown (without the decorative ribbon) measure approximately 20 cm x 17.5 cm.
