Weekend Projects / Bestsellers / Craft and Fill St. Nicholas Stockings

Dear users, dear authors,
get your new weekend project, a lovely bestseller, or patterns for St. Nicholas / St. Nicholas stockings. Have fun with them.

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

A fun idea for St. Nicholas Day is the reversible doll Nikolausi-Osterhasi:


With a simple turn inside out, St. Nicholas becomes a cute Easter bunny. This way you can display the figure not only during the Christmas season, but also in
spring!
Here’s what materials you need:

• Cotton yarn (yardage approx. 125 m/ 50 g, e.g. Catania by Schachenmayr or Camilla by Woll Butt) in light brown, light green, red, soft apricot
  (about 1 skein of the red yarn, less than
  one skein of the other colors.
  
• Fluffy yarn (Doudou by Lang Yarns, yardage 155m / 50 g) leftover
• Catania fine in white (leftover)
• Crochet hook size 2.5 mm
• Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
• Thick sewing needle for weaving in ends and sewing the pieces together
• 1 sharp embroidery needle for embroidering the face
• Embroidery floss in black, red, brown
• possibly safety eyes

Do you have everything at home? Then let’s go! Grab your hook!


As a filler for an Advent calendar:Finger puppets: snowman, Santa Claus, and moose


The three cute little fellows are crocheted very quickly from just a few scraps of leftover yarn and are sure to bring your children lots of joy. They can make up and act out funny Christmas stories with them. The time until Christmas Eve will fly by!


If you like giving sweets as gifts, package them sweetly too:


The candy jar with St. Nicholas is made from an empty jam jar whose lid is crocheted around. The crocheted St. Nicholas is attached on top. Once the candy has been eaten, you can refill the jar and give it as a gift again, or place an LED string light inside and have a beautiful Christmas lantern.

Little fluffy sparrows. Not hard to make at all.

These little cloths fit wonderfully into a St. Nicholas boot. Very young children can use the cloth as a cuddly cloth, and for older children it serves as a gentle washcloth. All the cloths shown are made using the tapestry crochet technique. The strand that is not needed at the moment is crocheted in, so the back also looks good. The technique is very easy to learn and is, of course, explained in detail in the patterns.

If you prefer knitting, you can also find all the motifs shown as double-face knitting patterns in my shop.

Since it’s quite cold at the moment, arm warmers and wrist warmers can really come in handy

This knitted hat is a quick project for the cold season. You can make it in 8 different sizes. 



Or would you rather pick up a crochet hook this weekend? This headband is easy to crochet in any size. 

Doll clothes always fit into a St. Nicholas boot, for example this diaper for a baby doll (43–50 cm). It’s very easy and quick to crochet using leftover yarn.
