Dear users and authors,
In this thread you’ll find bestsellers for a relaxing Pentecost break. Have fun crafting.

@Authors,
All patterns featured in this thread must not have been posted in the forum in the past 3 weeks and must have at least 100 sales. CR doesn’t matter. Maximum 2–3 patterns per author. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. 

During the Pentecost holidays, you might have time to crochet a few hand puppets. This is an exciting project where you can be very creative and incorporate your own ideas. You can also use yarn left over from larger projects for the hand puppets and let yourself be
inspired by your scraps.

With the Hand Puppet Value Pack you get the patterns for 6 different hand puppets for the puppet theater. They are the 6 main characters you can already use to perform lots of Kasperl plays: Kasperl, Crocodile, Seppel, Gretel, Grandmother, and Robber.

The patterns include a sewing pattern with measurements, so you can also crochet with yarns other than the suggested ones.

You can find even more patterns for hand puppets here!





Smaller children usually do better with finger puppets. Here, too, my shop has a Finger Puppet Value Pack, which lets you crochet 10 different finger puppets for the Kasperl puppet theater. In addition to Kasperl, Crocodile, Seppel, Gretel, Grandmother, and Robber, there are also patterns for a Policeman, King, Princess, and Witch. This project is especially well suited for small amounts of leftover yarn.

You can find more crochet patterns for finger puppets here!





And finally, one more leftover-yarn project that might not seem quite right for the season: Crocheted Figures for the Nativity Scene. But if you want to have a beautiful nativity scene with lots of self-crocheted figures at Christmas, you should start early. Of course, you start with the Holy Family, as well as the ox and donkey and the poinsettia. Later, you can then expand the nativity scene. You can find patterns for that in my Christmas collection.

The nativity figures are about 10 cm tall, so they are not too small and "fiddly," but they also don’t take up too much space.

For the days off over Pentecost, I’d like to show you a colorful mix from my shop—maybe there’s something for you too, or maybe it will make you want to browse the different collections in my shop.




Crochet Pattern Loop Scarf “Winter Dream” - This loop scarf is the perfect companion for little children, and it’s guaranteed to be worn with pleasure! It is crocheted with special single crochet stitches; the color not currently needed is crocheted in, so there are no annoying floats on the back. The technique is described in great detail and is very easy to learn.





Knitting Pattern Cloth / Washcloth “Live Love Laugh” - in Doubleface - For advanced knitters, doubleface is a wonderful challenge that lets you knit beautiful motifs that look equally lovely on the front and back. Detailed instructions for the doubleface basics are, of course, included.





Knitting Pattern Washcloth / Dishcloth “Cuddly Bears” - very easy - If you’re looking for something simple over the holidays but still want an impressive result, maybe one of the easy cloths like this one with the cuddly bears is just right for you? You only need knit and purl stitches and will be guided stitch by stitch, row by row, through the pattern. You’ll find many more motifs in my shop.


Have fun browsing, and Sonja wishes you a lovely Pentecost holiday!

This cloth with a peace dove is a special peace offering. It is sure to be welcome anytime and can bring joy, for example, as a washcloth.

The cloth is easy to knit using the chart in the pattern. It consists only of knit and purl stitches.

Simple stitch patterns, cheerful colors, and basic geometric shapes—that’s how easy crochet can be. With the Paula crochet blouse, you’ll pass the time in a relaxed way.
You can find the pattern for the Paula crochet blouse in the Blickfang-Design store. Stop by, I’d be happy to have you visit.

I have two larger projects for you for the upcoming long Pentecost weekend. (Baby) blankets are always useful and also make a welcome gift



Crochet pattern for the “Big Granny” blanket. You start in the middle, and the pattern of chain stitches and double crochet repeats continuously. This lets you choose the size individually. Larger leftover yarns can also be crocheted up nicely here. 



Do you prefer knitting but don’t have much experience yet? Then you might like this pattern. A cable look without any cable needle. This blanket is knitted using only knit and purl stitches. Here you need to decide on the size at the beginning. Simply cast on a few more pattern repeats. 

A few days off are wonderful! Finally time to relax and enjoy our beloved crafts. Make yourselves really comfortable while you’re at it.

Sandbag Doorstop

Who hasn’t experienced this ... a draft because you have the door and window open at the same time. Oh dear, the door is about to slam shut. And if someone has their fingers in the door frame, then it happens. No! It doesn’t have to come to that. You can create a draft any time if you use a doorstop. This one weighs over 4 kg and stays firmly in place. It prevents the door from slamming shut.



Doll Clothes

You can crochet a skirt in a variable length with a matching top. It looks pretty in a solid color, two colors, or with a color gradient, and dresses up any doll. Both pieces close in the back with snaps. Small leftover yarn scraps are enough.



Felted Booties

If you quickly get a few skeins of felting wool, you can make your first pair of felted slippers over Pentecost. These are knitted and felted in the washing machine. I explain and show everything in the pattern in great detail. You can make them in all sizes and colors. If you get started now, you can outfit the whole family with them by fall. Then everyone is guaranteed to have warm feet!
