Spring and Summer: Make Matching Projects Now

Dear users, dear authors,
get yourselves some beautiful patterns for spring and summer.

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

Below are three lovely projects for spring and summer from my shop:

1) “Kunterbunt” shopping bag  — the sophisticated relief pattern makes it a real eye-catcher — also ideal for using up leftover yarn.

2) Triangle shawl “Joy” — asymmetrical, airy, light, and versatile.
A wonderfully light shawl, perfect for getting you in the mood for spring and summer.

Bully, the Elephant at the Beach is already really looking forward to summer, because he was given a little boat. Bully feels like a captain, so he immediately put on his captain’s hat. He needs the swim ring because he can’t swim very well yet.
Wouldn’t you like to make little Bully yourself?



Maybe Bully will also meet Oskar the Octopus. He is a very curious fellow and already ventures close to the beach.
Oskar’s body is about 12 cm long. If you include the tentacles, he measures 38 cm in total. He looks great in any nautical decoration.



And where Oskar is, Marina the Mermaid is not far away. Marina measures an impressive 40 cm (stretched out). You can work chenille wire into the tail so it can be bent. But that isn’t absolutely necessary. If you want to use Marina not only as decoration but also as a children’s toy, I would advise against it.

This pretty summer dress fits little girls from about age 2. Later, it can be worn as a tunic.

The dress is knitted top down with a raglan construction and has no seams. It’s an ideal project for using up colorful yarn scraps.

Camellia season is over, but no one has to go without them even in summer—because you can make these beautiful flowers yourself.



The camellias shown here are about 28 cm tall. I made them out of cardstock, crepe paper, and wire. With a little crafting experience, these flowers are very easy to recreate.

The summer ensemble is an absolute showstopper: 🐳Marlene at the Beach🐳

It consists of a bandeau top, which can optionally be made with straps or transformed into a miniskirt!!!
And a pair of 👖 crocheted pants 👖 that can also be worn in everyday life... even without the beach.

See for yourself:
Here is the Bandeau top / miniskirt
