Weekend Projects + Bestsellers: Get Them Now

Dear users, dear authors,
Get a new weekend project / an attractive bestseller now. Enjoy!

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

The cowl Chinese Double can be knitted quickly over a weekend. It’s worked in a simple lace pattern and gets slightly wider toward the bottom. With a cord, it can be worn snugly around the neck or, when pulled all the way tight, even as a hat.
You’ll only need 50g of yarn with a yardage of about 145m.




If you like things colorful, the triangular shawl Fargerik stands out with its vibrant colors; it’s also perfect for using up leftover yarn. The pattern is explained in detail and is worked continuously.
It’s absolutely perfect for watching TV or relaxing on the patio.




A weekend project should ideally be finished over a single weekend. If possible, it should be something you can make using leftover yarn.

A couple of cute egg cozies can be quickly crocheted from leftover yarn and will definitely brighten up the breakfast table.


Here, Bunny and Hedgehog make sure your eggs stay warm.



The cute ladybugs also look wonderful on your breakfast table, especially now in summer.


Or how about these very easy-to-crochet strawberry egg cozies? They’re just right for a generous breakfast buffet with strawberry yogurt and eggs!

Maybe your e-reader could use a new outfit again? This protective cover has a lovely summery motif, is knitted in doubleface, and can be turned inside out, so you have two covers in one :-) If you cast on a few more stitches, the cover can also be knitted for a small tablet.

A small doll or baby hat is quick to knit. This model features a very cheeky, mischievous mouse motif. The hat is knitted in doubleface and can therefore be worn on both sides. The size can be adjusted for all head circumferences, from babies to teens.

Another quick project and a wonderful gift for a child is this cuddle cloth with the little elephant. When the child is a bit bigger, the cloth can be used as a washcloth. In our house, the elephant’s thick skin reliably keeps eyes dry when washing hair :-)
This cloth is also knitted in doubleface; the border is crocheted.

Sonja wishes you a lovely weekend

A great weekend project is the Diamond Table Runner ♥
It’s quick to make, has an easy-to-follow pattern, and can be customized to any size with your favorite yarn :-)




A real bestseller is the little Mini-Shopper ♥
It also works great as a mini beach bag—it definitely fits sunscreen, sunglasses, and a few little Pixie books :-)




A bestseller and a great weekend project is Dieter, the cuddly pillow stingray ♥
Quick to crochet with thick yarn and ready for its first cuddle session :-)

What would a Sunday be without needlework? Something would really be missing. In any case, I always get quite grumpy if I can’t just relax and crochet or knit something. I simply love it, and it makes me happy.

Here are a few suggestions for lovely handmade projects that you can start or even finish in a weekend. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.

Warm regards from Ina

Doorstop “Sandbag”

Crochet pattern - Especially now in summer, when all the doors are always open, there’s the risk of a draft. And then doors slam and windows rattle. And if the grandchild happens to have their fingers in the door frame too—oh dear. It doesn’t have to be that way. I simply crocheted myself some doorstops. They each weigh 4.5 kg and hold every door in the right position.





Ball Gown with Tulle Underskirt

Oh, little girls with their dolls are always so absorbed in their doll play. When the dolls are also wearing such beautiful handmade dresses, it’s even nicer. Not a store-bought plastic dress, but one lovingly crocheted by Grandma or Mom in the child’s favorite color, is simply wonderful. It’s perfect for playing princess.





Round Rug “Colorful”

This is also a lovely weekend project. Here we can finally use up our many colorful bits of leftover yarn by crocheting them. In the end, we have a completely unique rug—one that exists only once in the whole world. I always like these colorful rugs and look forward to the next color in every round, because that’s what creates the play of colors.
