Decorative, Functional + Useful: Download April Highlights Now

Dear users, dear authors,
Easter is getting close, but beautiful decorations, useful items and functional items, or early spring decorations / spring decorations / summer decorations, are always a good idea. Have fun crafting. 

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

I agree with that too, dear Josefa.
Beautiful décor that is also practical always works. You can make yourself or others happy with it. I’ve picked out something lovely for you.

I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful Easter.

Best wishes, Ina

Round Basket with Mesh Pattern
You can never have enough baskets. You can store your treasures in them, and they look pretty and decorative. You can crochet my round basket in any size you like—a small one for the bathroom or a large, sturdy one for your yarn.





Sandbag Doorstop
This is also a very practical piece. I was always worried about my grandchildren’s little fingers when the doors in the house were open. A draft could have slammed them shut. That’s why I crocheted myself some doorstops. They reliably keep the door in place. You can use them indoors or outdoors, and the grandchildren can even play with them and test their strength. It’s like weightlifting for dwarves :-)





African Flowers Pillow Cover
I love pillows. Without pillows, our living rooms, kids’ rooms, and gardens would be boring. Pillows are always a good idea. They add a cozy and playful touch. You can crochet them in your favorite colors. The pillow cover has a button closure, so it can be removed and washed when needed.

You can probably find tissues in every bathroom. But the cardboard box you buy them in usually isn't exactly decorative. So crochet a cover for it with this maritime tissue box cover! It's made in a beautiful ocean blue. You can see wavy lines on the sides, and there are little crabs and shells on top. It will make you long for a seaside vacation!



Speaking of the sea: You can quickly crochet a mini door wreath with a little boat like this from a few bits of leftover yarn. With its diameter of just 12 cm, it fits into even the smallest corner as maritime decoration.


And this door wreath with a beach chair will keep reminding you of a wonderful beach vacation. It takes a bit more effort to make, but it's a very varied project that is sure to bring you lots of joy—first while crafting it and then afterward as decoration.
By the way: You can crochet the beach chair in any size you like. So it's also suitable for small dolls.

This delicate flower basket with its dainty flowers is equally perfect for spring and summer.



The basket is made entirely of photo cardstock and measures approximately 16 x 19 cm. The flowers are made of photo cardstock, crepe paper, and wire, and are approximately 15 cm tall.

Both the basket and the flowers are very easy to make; for the basket, you’ll just need a little experience using a craft knife.
