Vacation at last! Yes, that’s a wonderful thing. Finally you have time to relax and enjoy your crafts. I could really imagine the following projects for that—they are creative and exciting.
1. Crochet pattern “Craft Bucket”
You always need one yourself (or Mom or Grandma does). Anyone who does crafts will be happy to have this practical helper. You’ll need lots of colorful leftover yarn, a size 3.5 crochet hook, and a plastic bucket. The crochet pattern is also ideal for crochet beginners. It’s fun and not difficult. You’ll find more examples and information by clicking the heading.
The bucket is portable, so it can always be carried to wherever you need it at the moment. All around it has lots of compartments for crochet hooks and other accessories. And your current crochet project goes in the middle.
What else would make a nice vacation project?
Maybe a
self-crocheted rug in lots of bright colors? It’s guaranteed not to get boring, and you can finally use up a really good amount of leftover yarn. In the end, you’ll have a beautiful colorful rug. We crochet with a size 6 crochet hook and make quick progress. Round by round, the rug takes on a different look. We rubberize the back so it won’t slip. You’ll find more pictures and information for the
“Round Colorful Rug” by clicking here.
You can crochet it in 2 sizes. Above is the large version (1 meter in diameter) and below is the small version with a 70 cm diameter.
I know, you want to get started right away. But first I’d like to give you a third vacation craft recommendation: Maybe you’ve always wanted to try this ...
Homemade felted slippers. You can make this lovely model with a rolled cuff in all sizes and colors using my pattern. I describe and show everything very precisely—from the first to the last step. You knit them, and the washing machine does the felting.
During the vacation, you could make some not only for yourself, but for the whole family or for friends. It’s fun, and in the end you’ll have wonderfully warm, soft, one-of-a-kind felted slippers. Feel free to take a look at my examples and the information about them.
Just click here for that.
I wish you a wonderful vacation! Enjoy the time and have fun with your crafts.
