Handicrafts for Children and with Children

Dear users, dear authors,
if you are looking for beautiful patterns that you can make with and for children, you will certainly find something in this thread. I wish you enjoyable crafting.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. All designs presented here must not have been presented in the forum in the past 4 weeks, must have at least 10 sales and a CR of at least 3%. 

Most children love St. Martin’s Day parades and really want to participate with a beautiful lantern . This one is a convenient companion for the parade, and its handy size makes it easy even for small children to carry.



The lantern is only about 20 cm tall, made of photo cardboard and tracing paper, easy to recreate, and well-suited even for beginners at crafts.

If your child can already use scissors, they could take on the task of cutting out the tracing paper.

Join Dino Pauli on an adventure.....

Pauli is crocheted from just a front piece and a back piece. At the end, the two pieces are joined with a round of single crochet stitches. This way, there’s no tricky assembly of individual parts, and nothing can come apart while playing. 

Would you like to give gifts to several children this Christmas and are looking for the perfect packaging for your presents? Then this value set might be just what you need.



Both gift bags are made from photo cardstock and measure approximately 19 x 18 x 10 cm. The designs take a little time to complete, but otherwise the bags are very easy and quick to make, even for beginners.

Anyone who crafts for children knows this: it’s fun even while you’re crocheting or knitting. As you’re working, you imagine how the child will gaze at everything wide-eyed and admire it all. How they’ll examine everything with their little fingers and then happily play with it. It’s always the same for me with my grandchildren. Here, everything is thoroughly tested, and favorite things are born. 

Today I’m showing you a few ideas for children. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.

Warm greetings from Ina

Doll fashion (young fashion, 6 pieces)
The doll mommies like having lots of different things they can mix and match well. Like in this 6-piece set, for example.



Candy pillow
This is quickly crocheted from 2 x 100 g of Bravo yarn. We crochet around in a circle the whole time, which even crochet beginners can manage. The pillow is stuffed with synthetic stuffing so that, if needed, it can be washed completely in the washing machine.



Pillow and rug for the doll bed
You can always crochet pillows for the doll bed from a few leftovers. Ideally in different sizes and colors. They’re wonderful for decorating little living-room scenes. A rug is possible too.
