Don't forget the image / link / the necessary info.

I’d like to introduce a summery shirt with a beautiful wave pattern and a boat neckline.
One side of the shirt is knitted horizontally and the other vertically, so you can wear it with one or the other pattern direction at the front, depending on your mood.

Would you like to wish someone a happy birthday and need an original card for it? This weekend you can make one yourself!



This birthday card is made from photo cardstock and construction paper. When folded, it measures approx. 21 x 10.5 cm. With a little crafting experience, especially experience making pop-up cards, it is very easy to recreate.

A pretty leftover-yarn project is these two pairs of doll pants. They fit dolls about 45-50 cm tall - including Baby Born.

The pants are very easy to knit, even for beginners with basic skills. Leftover yarn can be put to great use here.

There are also matching Schlüttli jackets with a hat, or a sweater with a side button placket. Both are knitted raglan from the top down and can easily be finished in a weekend. Every doll mommy will be delighted when her little darling is dressed just as prettily as a real baby.

Easy for beginners with knitting experience to follow.

A radiant sunset and this crochet sweater go perfectly together.

As a raglan from the top down, the sweater can easily be crocheted in the perfect size for you.

This colorful mobile  is perfect for summer and makes for an excellent weekend project! 
 


The very simple elements of the mobile are cut out of cardstock and strung together—you can do this part of the project together with your child. But even the remaining steps aren’t really complicated for skilled craft beginners. The individual chains are about 27 cm long when spaced at the specified intervals.

You definitely need a beach bag for your vacation!
And with this fantastic piece, you’ll have something truly special that is sure to draw lots of admiring looks! The seaside motifs are crocheted using the tapestry technique (explained in detail in the crochet pattern). We also use double stitches (also explained in detail), which makes the bag very sturdy so it won’t stretch out right away.
Using the specified cotton yarn, it will be about 40 cm tall and 43 cm wide—an ideal size for all your essential beach items.
You can find more details about the materials and the pattern here!

Summer and leftover yarn come together in this pattern for a balloon cover



Crocheted from individual granny squares, this project lets you raid your scrap box.

The balloon is well protected in this crocheted cover, making it perfect for playing in the garden or at the beach this summer.

Basic knowledge of double crochet, single crochet, and chain stitches is required. The instructions include detailed step-by-step photos showing how to assemble the Granny squares so that you end up with a ball.

If you have an e-reader, you can surely take it with you on vacation. With very little effort, you can quickly crochet a beautiful, colorful protective cover for it over the weekend.



Because of its manageable size, the cover is also a great project for beginners with a bit of crochet experience. You can find detailed information and the pattern here.

Even the littlest ones want their own beach bag!

The Mini Shopping Bag is perfect for that. It’s definitely big enough to hold a Pixi book and their own sunscreen ♥

Crocheted with cotton, it measures 20 cm wide, 13 cm tall, and 8 cm deep.
