Summer Decor + Nautical Decor

Dear users, dear authors,
How about some new summer decor or some nautical decor? It’ll get you in the mood for vacation. Shop now.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, pictures, details, etc.

My underwater world:

You can crochet an underwater world like this for yourself, too. For it, you'll need the following sea creatures:
Mermaid Marina

Octopus Oskar


 Seahorse Hippy
You can decorate the landscape with blue cloths, mirror foil, nets, chenille wire (for the corals), and shells. And if you don't have any real shells, you'll also find the pattern for crocheted shells in my shop.




Summer is here!
Boring tissue boxes are so yesterday! Bring summer into your home and crochet a cover for a standard tissue box! Plant colorful flowers (crocheted from leftover yarn) in your crocheted flower box and make room for the little mole... 😁😁😁

The cover is both decorative and practical! An ideal gift for a garden party, a housewarming, your best friend, your mom, and so much more... 

We’re using:

• gründl Lisa Premium uni" - yarn 50g/133m (approx. 40g nougat, approx. 60g burgundy, approx. 11g anthracite, approx. 4g pink); crochet hook - size 3.5
• gründl Cotton Quick uni" - yarn 50g/125m (approx. 15g white, approx. 24g yellow, approx. 15g each in various shades of red, approx. 10g each in various shades of green, approx. 13g sand-colored, leftover black yarn); crochet hook - size 2.5
• Sewing needle, suitable for the yarn
• Stuffing (approx. 5g)

• Hot glue gun or another adhesive suitable for wool
• Standard tissue box (11.5cm x 23cm)
• Doll’s glasses (width approx. 3.5cm) for the mole
• Pins
• Scissors

The tissue box cover should be crocheted with yarn of the same weight and yardage; this ensures a perfect fit!

The pattern is available here... https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/62514/taschentuecher-box-huelle-praktisch-und-dekorativ-zugleich-haekelanleitung-von-das-maushaus

How about some hand-crocheted tablecloth weights? Inside each of these beautiful weights is a heavy stainless steel nut, so they’re heavy enough to keep the tablecloth in place. They look cheerful and also make a lovely gift if you’re invited to a garden party.

I hope you have fun making them — best wishes, Ina

Or maybe something small and universal? A crocheted heart is always a good choice. It simply fits in so many places and always brings a smile to the viewer’s face. You can use it as decoration anywhere in the garden or home.

Finally, there’s also a free pattern: a lantern. All you need is an old glass jar and a little yarn. It creates magical lighting effects on the table on balmy summer evenings.

I hope you have lots of fun with this one too. Yours, Ina

What would summer be without flowers? Of course, flowers are an absolute must for summer decor. These folded flowers will turn your windows into a flower bed.



These colorful flowers are made from folded paper, just like the well-known snowflakes, and are just as easy to recreate. You’ll get templates for four different flower shapes in three sizes: 10, 15, and 20 cm.

Three of my newer patterns fit the “Maritime Decor” theme perfectly:

Back Scrubber Shower Strap Shell



The back scrubber is a useful helper for showering and bathing—and it’s also a lovely eye-catcher in the bathroom.
Difficulty level: intermediate; surely no problem for experienced crocheters

You can get the crochet pattern for the Shell Back Scrubber Shower Strap here



The Seal Bath Sponge Dish Sponge
The seals are practical sponges for bathing, showering, or washing dishes.


The pretty seals made from fluffy sponge yarn are very easy to crochet, even for beginners.

And the lifebuoy bath sponge is also a lovely maritime decorative element:


Difficulty level: very easy, suitable for beginners
