Weekend Projects + Bestsellers + Advent Calendars / Advent Wreaths

Dear users, dear designers,
are you looking for a new weekend project, a great bestseller, or maybe a quick pattern for Advent calendars / Advent wreaths / Advent decorations? Then just stay tuned. The designers will be presenting delightful models. 

@Designers,
2-3 patterns per designer are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. All models presented here must not have been promoted in the forum during the past 3 weeks, must have at least 10 sales and a conversion rate of at least 3% for both conversion rate values. 

Potholders are an ideal weekend project because you usually have the materials at home and can finish them in 1–2 days. And since everyone can use potholders, they make a popular personal gift or small token, especially when they’re handmade.

Here are a few crochet patterns from my shop that I’d like to share with you. Maybe you’d like to try crocheting one or two of them?


This strawberry potholder is a cheeky little fruit! Depending on whether you want to work it in single or double strands, you’ll need 35–70 g of red potholder yarn, about 25 g of green yarn, and scraps of yellow, black, and white.


A polar bear and a penguin are having a little get-together in your kitchen. They’re both crocheted using the tapestry technique, which is described in detail in the pattern. There’s a chart included, but each row is also written out individually.


A touch of nostalgia! Don’t these two pot holders—the coffee cup and the milk jug— remind you of Grandma’s old polka-dot dishes? They instantly transport you to a cozy kitchen-diner. The pot holders are crocheted in double layers (so you can slip your hands inside). The dots are worked in as raised bumps.

You can find even more crochet patterns for pot holders here!

1) The Advent calendar for “Fashionistas 1.0” has already been purchased over 1,600 times and is perfect for turning yarn scraps into little treasures. Each pattern comes with a detailed description featuring step-by-step photos and, if necessary, crochet charts… and if you’re in the mood for even more little pouch patterns, you’ll find them in my shop.

2) This very popular Advent calendar is a true classic—the little bags are crocheted using the double stitch. This stitch provides an excellent base for embroidery motifs—there are no limits to your imagination here. The embroidery stitches and the double stitch are, of course, explained in detail. You’ll receive patterns for 2 different sizes and 8 designs, as shown below. If you make each bag 3 times in different color combinations, you’ll end up with 24 different bags. Even on their own, the pouches are wonderful for gift wrapping or as jewelry pouches—or you can scale them up accordingly and turn them into St. Nicholas bags. Have fun with them :-)

3) This cute angel brings some Advent magic—it’s crocheted in one piece, with only the halo crocheted separately. You can hide little gifts under the skirts, and with an LED tea light underneath, the cute angels glow enchantingly and create a cozy atmosphere when it gets dark outside. They also look lovely on the Christmas tree.

If you'd like to make an Advent calendar yourself but don't yet feel ready to tackle very challenging projects, then this model is perfect for you: The calendar consists of individual stars that are excellent for practicing and experimenting with colors and decorations.



The stars are made from photo cardstock and are each approx. 17.5 x 17 x 4.5 cm in size. The calendar is very easy to recreate and is even well suited for crafting with children.
