Craft yellow and orange projects: enjoying the summer sun

Dear users, dear authors,
get patterns now in the colors yellow and orange so you can enjoy the summer sun even on dark days.

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

This beautiful market bag —in the colors of the setting sun—is made using the Tunisian crochet technique. The pattern explains exactly how to do it. All you need besides the yarn is a Tunisian crochet hook (available at craft stores). Even if you’ve never tried Tunisian crochet before, this is the perfect beginner’s project for you, because you’ll start by crocheting a rectangle, which is then folded like origami and sewn together.

This beautiful cozy loop scarf / shoulder warmer spreads sunshine in every season. It can be made either as a simple loop scarf or as a larger version with a drawstring. The circumference is individually adjustable. The loop scarf is knitted in double-face, which makes it wonderfully warm and wearable on both sides.

This headband also brings sunshine into winter—it is also knitted in double-face. The size can be easily adjusted.

Toddlers ages 2 and up will stay wonderfully warm in these merino wool knit leggings, especially when playing outside. The leggings have adjustable straps and will grow with your child for a while, thanks in part to the cuffs that can be folded up at the bottom.

This merino wool baby jacket with a hood is sized for 4–12 months—or so I thought. My little granddaughter actually wore it until her 2nd birthday. It’s easy to knit, provided you have some knitting experience.
