Yarns with color gradients are really wonderful. You can create something especially striking with very simple patterns and shapes, because the color gradients bring every little piece to life. Here are my suggestions for you. For more pictures, information, and the pattern itself, please simply click on the headings.

Doorstop "Sandbag"
With just one 150 g ball of yarn with a color gradient, you can crochet a sturdy doorstop weighing 4 kg. It is filled with small pebbles placed inside a cotton shopping bag. It keeps every door securely in position. No more drafts can slam a door shut and pinch little fingers.
My little grandchild also likes to play with the heavy bags sometimes and test his strength;
Universal Cowl for the Whole Family
Here, too, the color effect comes straight from the ball of yarn. The pattern in combination with the gradient yarn looks very interesting. The cowl is simply knitted in the round. Of course, it also looks lovely in a solid color.
Endless Blanket
Here I crocheted with a 1500-meter Bobbel. The pattern works from the inside outward. You can keep continuing it endlessly—as long as the yarn lasts or until you reach the desired size.
