Weekend Projects: Father's Day / Bestsellers / Summer Projects

Dear users, dear authors,
how about a few projects for Father's Day or for summer? Of course, we also have leftover yarn patterns, beginner patterns, bestsellers, and discounted patterns. Have fun, everyone.

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

 
Does HE love hanging out at the hardware store, too? Then this crocheted forklift would be the ideal gift for him! Together with a shopping voucher, it’s sure to be a hit! But little boys love these transport vehicles too. Small figures (Playmobil or similar) can be placed inside. The forks are height-adjustable.

The forklift measures 20 x 8 x 15 cm and is crocheted from leftover cotton yarn (e.g., Catania by Schachenmayr, yardage = 125 m/50 g) with a 2.5 mm hook. You need less than 20 g of each color. Other craft materials that you probably already have at home: 1 foam block (= cleaning sponge), bendy straws, craft sticks or toothpicks, toy stuffing, cardboard.

You can find the pattern right here!

Or is Dad a soccer fan? I’ve got something for him, too:
Tooorsten, the soccer mascot!
Crochet him in your loved one’s team colors or in the colors of Germany; cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m / 50 g was used. Tooorsten isn’t hard to crochet. Some sewing is required to stitch the hexagons and pentagons together, but the pattern explains exactly how to do this with pictures and sketches.

Looking for something a little smaller? Then why not go for
Pauli, the soccer panda!
This little keychain can, of course, also be crocheted in team colors. All you need are a few scraps of cotton yarn (e.g. Catania).
So go ahead and get started right away! It’s going to be a blast!

How about a new bag for the office?
That’s a very nice and useful project for your dads.

The felted bag Sören is crocheted loosely with a large hook size and feltable wool, and then felted in the washing machine; it’s really not very complicated.

The information on the required materials and skills is listed in the description of the pattern.
