Percy, the proud peacock, stands out especially because of his magnificent tail, which consists entirely of colorful peacock eyes (= circles). I crocheted the last round of these circles using fringe yarn. This gives the tail a lovely feathery look. If you don’t like working with fringed yarn, you can also crochet these rounds with cotton yarn, just like the rest of the body.

The weekend is supposed to get colder again. Make yourselves cozy at home! With a good cup of "Tea for 2". To go with it, you can crochet the "Tea for 2" placemat. Thanks to the filet crochet technique (= only chain stitches and double crochet), it works up quite quickly, and soon you’ll be able to enjoy your tea for two at a beautifully set table.

For 1 set you need:55 g cotton yarn (yardage approx. 165 m/ 50g, e.g. Catania fine by Schachenmayr) in vanilla

Maybe you’d also like to crochet the funny octopus Oskar? I used leftovers from a yarn cake for this, but cotton yarn with a yardage of 150 m/50 g or thinner works just as well.
Oskar fits perfectly into nautical-themed decor.

How about

a pair of felt moccasins?
You can make them in all sizes and colors. They’ll keep your feet warm, and you won’t want to take them off. The washing machine does the felting for you.

Or you could crochet a beautiful doll dress. It’s fun for you and makes the doll’s mom happy. You have several design options to choose from: with or without beads, all in white as a wedding dress, etc.



Or maybe a quick loop scarf, which is easy to knit? It’s perfect for this time of year—you can’t go wrong with it.

I hope you have lots of fun with your crafts and enjoy a lovely, relaxing weekend.

Warm regards from Ina
