For moms:


A shopping net for Mom that also works really well as a beach bag, because it is very roomy. It will be about 40 x 40 cm, but can be enlarged as much as you like by crocheting more stitches or rows. This one was made with rose and pink cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m/50 g. The net also looks great in other color combinations.




Mom is sure to be happy with a pretty crocheted bracelet with beads.You can match the colors perfectly to your mom’s wardrobe, so it’s sure to go well. A few bits of leftover yarn are enough to make it.



For dads:



Is Dad a soccer fan? Then the soccer mascot Tooorsten  in Germany’s colors or the colors of his favorite club is just right for him! Tooorsten’s body is made of hexagons and pentagons that are sewn together according to a specific pattern.




A small keychain with a beer stein, pretzel, and gingerbread heart is quick to crochet and fun for anyone who enjoys going to beer festivals.Here, too, you can make excellent use of small amounts of leftover yarn.



For both:


Show Mom or Dad how much you love them! With this heart with two little bears holding hands, you can show your bond especially well. The heart measures about 11 x 11 cm and can also be used as a gift tag.




If you wrap your Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift in this charming gift bag with a little heart pattern, it’s immediately clear that your gift comes from the heart. The bag is crocheted using the tapestry technique. It has a diameter of about 9 cm and is 20 cm tall. That leaves room for a bottle or other small treats.

The large flower makes this shopping bag a beautiful eye-catcher - and it is much more sustainable and durable than a bouquet of flowers.

Mother’s Day, Father’s Day—happy are those who still have their mother and father. Sadly, I had to let mine go many years ago. But when I imagine they were still alive, I would certainly make them happy with these things.

For my mother Christa I would make the following things:

Felt insoles
You can put them in any shoes and would always have warm feet from underneath and a soft step. Very nice to make from leftover yarn.



Cowl
A cowl. She would probably think it was newfangled (back then people only had scarves; no one knew cowls). But looped like this, you can also wear it as a scarf. Beautiful soft wool keeps you warm.



Wrist warmers with a decorative cable
Here she would wonder where the rest of the “glove” is. But when going shopping, for example, it’s really practical. You have warm hands and don’t have to touch the shopping basket—and your fingers are free to handle your wallet. Plus, the wool warms the finger joints and the wrist (arthritis).



Felt moccasins
She could have worn them from spring through fall and would always have warm feet. The sole is non-slip, so she would be safe walking around the apartment in them. Since her favorite color was red, I would make these for her:



Cardigan with shawl collar
This would be her favorite. She would wear it every day. Older women are always cold and need real wool, and in a comfortable cardigan. It absolutely has to have pockets, go down over the bottom, and have a belt.



Heart pendant
I would give it to her as a lucky charm. She could scent it with her favorite fragrance and hang it in the closet. Older people always want to know what you need something for. Just lying around, they don’t want that.



Scarf with pearl lace
Oh, she would be amazed that I can DIY something so fine and light. She would definitely save this scarf “for special occasions.” And I would have to persuade her to wear it more often, because it is wonderfully soft and keeps you nice and warm. In white, it goes with everything.



One-Step Felt Booties
I would give them to her for fall and winter. They keep the feet and ankles wonderfully warm (if the ankle is warm, the whole foot is warm). With them, you always have warm feet, and they are breathable too. You can even put in your own orthopedic insoles, if you have any.



Craft bucket
She would definitely like it because it keeps all her bits and bobs together and has a handle. If you don’t crochet, you can store other things in it too.



Maybe there were a few ideas for your Mother’s Day gift here. I would be happy about that. I wish you lots of joy with everything, and please be happiest of all that you still have each other.

Best wishes, Ina

My father Horst is someone I might have given one of these things to for Father’s Day. I think I inherited my talent for creative things from him. Even when I was a child, he encouraged me to make things and shared my joy in them. For health reasons, he couldn’t do many things himself, so he was happy about my dexterity.

Warm felted boots with roll-down cuffs
They always help against cold feet. You need that in winter. However, he loved bold colors, red and yellow. But I’m showing you the gray ones because most men prefer these colors.



Sandbag doorstop
Yes, you can bring joy with this, too. Their apartment had windows on both sides, so there were often drafts with doors slamming shut. This sandbag would have prevented that.



“African Flowers” cushion cover
My father loved cushions on his living room sofa. Yes, people used to have more of them, and they were more colorful too. He wouldn’t have chosen these colors, but he would have liked the design itself.



Large basket with bobbles
Since he also loved functional decor, he definitely would have liked the basket too—for example in the bathroom for towels or odds and ends.



Round Colorful Rug
Yes, men love colorful things too. He would have liked this play of colors in the rug—of course I would have had to make it in his favorite colors. The back is rubberized so that it stays right where it is. He might have wanted it as a bath mat.



Well, that’s it for my ideas for you. I hope you have lots of fun making and giving them as gifts.

Best wishes, Ina

Flowers are a classic for Mother’s Day, but unfortunately those beautiful bouquets often wilt far too quickly. So how about a little flower for eternity on Mom’s keychain this year? With the pattern for Flower Rita, you can not only crochet a sweet little flower, but also use up some leftover yarn. And best of all: the pattern is absolutely last-minute friendly.



Giving Mom or Dad a little time-out in the bathroom is almost effortless with the pattern for the Soap Saver Happiness. Crocheted from scrubby yarn, the soap saver has a soothing massaging effect and simply washes everyday stress away.
