Dish sponges made from sponge yarnare not only incredibly practical, but also very decorative. With their bright colors, they make cheerful eye-catchers in the kitchen.They can be washed in the washing machine at 60° without losing their shape or colors. They also dry quickly, so bacteria can't form as easily. They are also popular in the bathroom as shower or massage sponges.
 
In my shop you'll find lots of different ideas for crocheting original dish sponges. Here's a small selection:

 Fish dish sponge


 Cloverleaf dish sponge


 Sunflower dish sponge

This heart cloth is a joy to make, and you can use it for many purposes. For example, as a washcloth, dishcloth, or even as a coaster — and of course as decoration too. There are no limits. Even the leftover yarn from one skein is enough, since I only needed 30–35 g for it.

To the knitting pattern

A crocheted basket can be a beautiful and decorative addition to your home. You can store your current craft project in it, and everything always looks stylish and tidy. You can make it in different sizes.

Round Basket with Mesh Pattern






Maybe you prefer it more colorful. Then here is another version with colorful crocheted-in bobbles. It has a decorative folded-over edge at the top. The base is double-reinforced and has an inner support so it won’t sag.

Pillow Cover "African Flowers"

A colorful, cheerful pillow is fun to crochet and afterward makes a decorative accessory on the bed, the sofa, or in the garden. You can crochet it in your favorite colors. The pillow cover buttons closed, so it is removable and washable.

There will surely be an opportunity to light a tealight even in the height of summer. Nestled in this holder, it not only shines but also looks very decorative.



The tealight holder is made of photo cardstock and measures approx. 13 x 5.5 x 11 cm. With a little experience using a craft knife, it is very easy to make.
