Crafting relief patterns / textured 3D patterns: More variety is great.

Dear users, dear authors,
Here in this thread you’ll find patterns featuring relief patterns / textured 3D patterns. You’re going to love them.

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

Post double crochet creates beautiful patterns. I like to crochet them.  It takes a bit of practice.

This tissue box cover is crocheted with a relief pattern, giving it a pretty 3D texture. It’s decorated with butterflies and hearts on top, which make it something special. A decorative item like this always makes a great gift.

You can also crochet a small tissue pouch to go with it, which holds 10 Tempo tissues. It’s eco-friendly and looks nice on any table. The pattern includes various designs, many of them with relief patterns.

Goban is an easy way to knit relief patterns.
In this dragon tail, only knit and purl stitches are worked, creating raised and recessed areas.

You can also create 3D patterns while crocheting without using relief stitches—by using bobbles or popcorn stitches.
One example is this heart-shaped pillow.
 
It serves as a cover for a grain pillow that you heat up in the microwave. The back is crocheted with single crochet stitches, creating a smooth surface on the reverse side.
Depending on whether you want the pillow to feel warmer or cooler, you can turn either the smooth side or the side with the bobbles toward your body to regulate the amount of heat it gives off.


The white dots on these pot holders are also crocheted using popcorn stitches, which gives them a three-dimensional appearance. The pot holders are crocheted in two layers so that you can slip your hand in from the top.

When knitting, you can easily create beautiful relief-like motifs simply by alternating between stockinette stitch and garter stitch. The effect is great, but the pattern is so simple that even beginners can give it a try. Here are a few examples:

Relief patterns or raised patterns look great; they are slightly three-dimensional, but you should know that they also use a bit more yarn. Here are a few lovely examples from me. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.

Warm regards from Ina

Crochet pattern Endless Blanket

Here we crochet around in a square using one or two Bobbel yarn cakes. You can make the blanket as large as you like, or as large as your yarn allows.



This is what the relief pattern looks like up close:



Crochet pattern “Mosaic Blanket Made of Squares”

Here we first crochet lots of colorful squares. Then we crochet them together into a blanket. The special thing about the blanket is the pattern.



Here my grandson is trying to grab the little bobbles. Of course it doesn’t work, but it’s worth a try :-)



Crochet pattern “Water Lily Cushion”

It consists of two round cushion panels that are closed with handmade buttons. The eye-catcher is definitely the thick water lily on the front of the cushion. It is filled and slightly raised. I would place the cushion in a child’s room or on a garden bench.

Shawls and scarves “come alive” with 3D patterns!
Whether relief patterns, crossed double crochet, or bobble stitches—the raised stitches make them interesting ♥

This technique is used in the following crochet shawls:

Shawl CHLOE




Shawl RUHRPOTT SUNDOWN




or Shawl RUHRPOTT SUNRISE

Shawl “Caribbean Summer”

The 3D seashells make this back scrubber shower strap a beautiful eye-catcher in your bathroom.
The back-scrubber shower strap is also a very practical accessory for bathing and showering. That makes it the perfect gift for anyone with limited physical mobility or who appreciates a bit of extra convenience in everyday life.



You can find the crochet pattern for the back-scrubber shower strap in a shell design here
