Shop Pattern Pearls Now / August 2023 Issue

Dear users, dear designers,
do you like shopping for pattern pearls = delightful and still relatively unknown patterns and starting to craft them right away? Start now.

@Designers,
please don't present the same pattern pearls every time. 2-3 patterns per designer are enough. CR must be at least 3%, and there must be at least 5 sales. The patterns advertised here must not have been advertised in the forum in the past 3 weeks. Don't forget links, images, info, etc. 

This bag features a very romantic design, perfect for young girls and the young at heart :-) It’s super sturdy because a fabric pouch is crocheted right into it. This makes it quite light for its size, and it won’t sag even when carrying really heavy groceries. My daughter uses it to carry her heavy piano sheet music when she goes to lessons.

The two-color design is very easy to crochet using the tapestry crochet technique with single crochet stitches. The color not currently needed is crocheted directly into the work. This technique is pretty easy to learn, is really fun, and is explained in detail in the included beginner’s course.



"Lovely Things" Bag / Tote – Crochet Pattern

What could be worse than cold feet?
My crocheted “Auf Zack” socks will help with that.
They are crocheted from the toe up and get a zigzag pattern after the heel is finished. You can choose the cuff length yourself. Either crochet one sock until half of your 100 g ball of yarn is used up (then you’ll still have enough for the 2nd sock), or stop earlier if you think the cuff is long enough.

The socks are nice and warm, ideal for lounging on the couch or as bed socks.
Of course, you can also wear them in shoes. However, they are a bit thicker than knitted socks.

Almost everyone needs warm gloves.
With bulky yarn, they are quick to knit.
You can knit them in multiple colors using leftover yarn.
I chose light gray + brown as the main colors, plus white + taupe.
This color combination immediately reminded me of coffee with a dollop of cream.
That’s how the name for the mittens “Coffee to go” came about.

You knit in the round with a set of double-pointed needles or other sock needles.
The thumb is knitted along at first, then finished separately later.
Thanks to the detailed description, even experienced beginners can give these gloves a try, provided they have the listed basic knitting skills.

"Hi, you’re going to be a dad (grandma, grandpa, aunt...)" You can announce this great news with a surprise egg cover crocheted to look like a stroller. The cover opens so you can hide a little something inside. This makes the stroller a lovely gift for a new baby, because in this case there’s a gift certificate inside (for babysitting, a diaper subscription, or something else suitable).

And here’s another idea for crocheting around a surprise egg: The cute little elf mouse is happily nibbling on a piece of cheese and has a surprise in its belly for everyone who loves mice or elves.

If you already want to crochet a little something for Christmas, I recommend these festive pendants, which are easy to work on even in hot weather. A metal ring (5 cm in diameter) is crocheted around with cotton yarn and decorated with beads, sequins, and colorful ribbons. The metal gives the pendants a certain weight, making them perfect as Christmas tree ornaments. But you can also use them to decorate your gift packages or as small picture frames.

A loop scarf that even beginners can knit and have a lot of fun making. I knitted it from leftover sock yarn. But it can also be knitted with any other yarn and in any size. Just the thing for fall and cool days.

My granddaughter loves this slipover made from sock yarn. It’s perfect for the in-between seasons—it keeps her warm while allowing full arm movement. If you’ve ever knitted before, you’re sure to succeed. Fits ages 6 and up and grows with her.
