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

Knitted motifs are the basis for many useful and decorative items.
My small cloth with the Christmas motif “Christmas wreath with bell” can
be used as a dishcloth, cleaning cloth, small doily, cuddle cloth, comforter cloth etc.
That is what the pattern is written for.

With a little creativity of your own you can also use the motif to make other things.
Several motifs in a row make a table runner strip.
Several motifs side by side and in a row make a runner, a centerpiece cloth, Christmas tablecloth or a cushion cover and so much more….

Let your imagination run free or combine several of my motifs.

For the knitting itself, you only need the following skills:
cast on and bind off stitches, and knit and purl stitches.
The pattern is written out row by row and stitch by stitch and also includes a chart to print out.
This makes this pattern (like all my other motif cloths) highly recommended for beginners too.

Mona (Froschoma_Mona) wishes you lots of joy knitting

These fun beetle pot holders are a real eye-catcher for the kitchen. They’re also perfect for crochet beginners with basic skills. They’re always a hit as gifts.

Handmade items always have to serve a practical purpose for me, too. I love things nice and colorful, so I’ve picked out a few colorful, practical items for you that are also real eye-catchers.

I hope you have lots of fun making them.
Warm regards from Ina

Round Rug "Colorful"

It is crocheted from lots of colorful leftover yarn. You can make it in 2 sizes: 70 or 100 cm. Every rug will be one of a kind. We make the back non-slip.





Doorstop "Sandbag"

No more drafts! No more worrying about doors slamming shut or about the grandchildren’s little fingers. Simply place your sandbag in the open door. It weighs just under 5 kg and reliably holds any door in place. Works indoors and outdoors.






Colorful Craft Bucket

You can store your current crochet project in it, and all the tools you might need are arranged around it. That way you always have everything together and can also move it from A to B. It looks tidy and you don’t have to search for anything. I like to give a bucket like this, filled with leftover yarn, to my crafting friend. She then conjures up other things from it. Different bucket sizes are possible.

This crocheted cover with ocean motifs hides the not-so-attractive cardboard box for tissues and turns it into a decorative element. You can crochet the cover in any size you like.
For this, you’ll need (depending on the size) about 55 g of blue cotton yarn, plus remnants in mint and salmon pink.

Here’s the crochet pattern for the tissue box cover





And here’s another useful item for the bathroom that also serves as a decorative piece: The fish made from scrubby yarn is great for massaging and exfoliating in the shower or bathtub. You can wash it in the washing machine at 60°. It comes out of the machine almost dry, so it can be used again quickly.

You can use these heart-shaped boxes to package little surprises, such as jewelry, candy, gift certificates, or love notes. They’re also practical for storage and add a cute decorative touch to your home.

The pattern includes instructions for 4 sizes. The sturdy boxes are between 6 and 10 cm wide and 4 cm tall. The height can be easily adjusted. Thanks to the detailed instructions with plenty of pictures and crochet charts for each box, this pattern is also suitable for beginners. For the smallest box, you’ll only need about 20 g of yarn.

If you’d like to start preparing for the darker months now, I recommend making a few decorative light sources. This value pack combines the most popular table lamps in my store.



The four table lamps are made from photo cardstock and translucent paper and are between 8.5 and 10.7 cm tall. They require some crafting experience and skill with a craft knife.
