Decorative, Functional + Useful // November 2023 Edition

Dear users, dear authors, 
beautiful decorations // functional items // useful items for fall // winter // Halloween // Advent // Christmas to make now. 

@Authors,
You can each present a maximum of 3 patterns here, each of which must have at least 10 sales / a CR of at least 3% and must not have been presented in the forum in the past 3 weeks. 

Maritime decorations are particularly well-suited for making the bathroom cozier. But they’re also a great eye-catcher on the patio or in the sunroom. Not only are they pretty to look at, but they often serve a practical purpose as well.


The mini door wreath has a diameter of just 12 cm, so it fits into even the smallest corner. The little boat, the fishing net, and the circling seagulls immediately show that someone who loves the sea lives here.


The tissue box cover with a seashell design can be crocheted in any size and hides the not-so-attractive cardboard boxes in which tissues are usually sold.


Of course, the fish-shaped bath sponge is a must-have in the bathroom. It’s crocheted from a special sponge yarn that can be washed at 60° and dries very quickly. This means it can be used again and again and stays hygienically clean.

A gift that comes from the heart always speaks for itself. With this cloth, you can immediately see just how much love went into it.

Using this pattern, you can knit pot holders, washcloths, or dishcloths—anything is possible. The pattern consists only of knit and purl stitches. You’ll have a lot of fun knitting it—and, of course, giving it as a gift.

Right now is the best time for this new decoration: When it’s always dark outside, you’ll appreciate every little light that brightens up your home.



This small table lamp measures about 10 cm on each side and is made from photo cardstock and tracing paper. With a little crafting experience and some practice using a craft knife, it’s very easy to make.

With this chimney sweep, you can give the gift of luck all year round.

The knitted square can be used as a doily, washcloth, dishcloth or cleaning cloth.
You can also combine several identical or different motifs of mine to create a table runner or a table band or a tablecloth, a large knitted doily or a baby blanket.

Knitting my dishcloths / doilies is beginner-friendly and very easy.
You can give it a try if you can cast on and bind off stitches and are comfortable knitting knit and purl stitches.
You will receive a detailed written pattern in which every row is written out stitch by stitch, and you will also get a chart.

In all my dishcloth patterns, you get templates for gift wrappers for various occasions, as well as neutral templates to print out, as a free bonus.

 
Happy knitting from Mona (Froschoma_Mona)
