A beautiful gift that works up quite quickly is these small cloths with different motifs. Depending on the yarn you use, you can make the cloth even for the littlest ones as a cuddle cloth. For older children or adults, it can be used as a gentle washcloth. And of course, you can also make it into a dishcloth or potholder. All cloths are knitted in doubleface, so both sides look lovely.

These cloths can be used, depending on the yarn you choose, as cuddly blankets for the littlest ones, or as washcloths, dishcloths, or potholders. They are crocheted using the tapestry technique. The color not currently needed is crocheted in, so that the "back" also looks nice. The technique is very easy to learn and is, of course, explained in detail.

I hope you enjoy browsing and making them.

Self-crocheted dish sponges made from scrubby yarn are extremely decorative, practical, and sustainable. They dry faster than cotton dishcloths and can still be washed in the washing machine at 60°C. Wash them regularly with your usual 60°C laundry, and you’ll always have a hygienically clean cleaning sponge!
You can also give them as a shower sponge together with a nourishing shower gel. For one dish sponge, you only need about 1/2 skein of scrubby yarn.

To make things a little brighter and more beautiful for your loved ones during the dark winter months, you can give them festive tea light holders.

If you’re not quite confident in your crafting skills yet, or if you’d like to make a gift together with your child, this poinsettia would be perfect.



But if you already consider yourself an experienced crafter, I’d like to introduce you to this Christmas star, which has only been available in my store since today.



If you prefer real stars, take a look at these tea light holders.



And here is a slightly more elaborate, but all the more beautiful, star variation.



All of these models are made from photo cardstock, and some are additionally decorated with glitter liner.
