Decorative Crafts: Get a Head Start on Spring

Dear users, dear authors,
There are still eight days until the start of spring on March 21 . The more beautiful your spring decorations are, the more magical spring will be. Get started now.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget to include a link, an image, and the usual information.

The colorful spring meadow with egg cozies, egg outfits, floral decorations, placemats, and coasters has been bringing spring into my home for several weeks now.

Here you can crochet with lots of colorful leftover yarn and bring creative ideas to life with the different examples of egg clothing.

The decorations are fun to crochet. Very well suited for beginners with basic skills.


To the crochet pattern and more

Crocheted flower children are always a wonderful decoration when you’re waiting for spring, because they let you have the most beautiful spring blossoms right in your living room, even when it’s still too cold outside.

Especially fitting right now are:

  the Crocus flower children
  Snowdrops and Bellflowers
and the Pussy Willow flower child


All flower children are about 12–13 cm tall, have bendable arms and legs, and can be crocheted from leftover yarn. If you decorate with them together, you’ll have a wonderful spring meadow at home.

You can find more flower children (also for other seasons) in my collection in the shop:

For a spring-themed coffee gathering, I recommend my butterfly-shaped napkin holders. Crocheted from leftover yarn, they’ll bring a springtime vibe to your home. They also look great on Easter branches.

If you're still looking for a new spring doily and already have some initial crochet experience with treble crochet, the "Tulip" crochet doily is just right for you. It is large enough for coffee tables, etc. Each round is described in detail and illustrated with a photo.
