Weekend Projects / Bestsellers / Make Small Valentine's Day Items Now

Dear users, dear authors,
the week is over and you have earned a pleasant weekend of crafting. Would you like to get started right away with a bestseller, delightful new arrivals, patterns on SALE, scrap yarn patterns, or small items for Valentine's Day? Have fun, everyone. 

@Authors,
you can each present 2-3 suitable 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. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. 

How about a love gnome as a little something for Valentine’s Day? The pattern explains how you can make the figures as surprise figures (with a Kinder Surprise egg that can be opened) and how you can make them as regular figures (amigurumi stuffed with stuffing).
As crocheted-over surprise eggs, the figures can deliver gifts or messages for you.

Have fun crocheting!

My Rakas shawl collar knits up quickly using just 150g of yarn with a yardage of 200m per 100g.
It can be worn in many different ways, so I didn’t sew it together—instead, I hold it in place with a shawl pin.
Rakas is knitted using only knit and purl stitches and is absolutely beginner-friendly.

How about a few new egg cozies? You can crochet them spontaneously in between, because you can usually make them from leftover yarn you already have. Here you'll find a few suggestions from my egg cozy collection, which will look especially lovely on your table in spring.

Egg Cozy "Spring Flowers"



Egg Cozy "Ladybug"



Egg Cozy "Strawberry"

These 6 washcloths in various patterns and colors make a great little project to work on in your spare time. That way, every family member gets their own washcloth in their favorite color. One of mine weighs less than 50 g, so it’s a great way to use up leftover skeins.

I’ve given many of these away as gifts, and they’ve always been well-received.

Finally, the weekend! For many people, a lovely craft project is part of a successful weekend. Here are a few ideas from me. I hope you have lots of fun making them.
Warm regards from Ina

Wrist warmers

Ideal for spring, when it’s still cold but no longer icy. That’s exactly when you need these wrist warmers. They keep your hands warm while your little fingers still stay free. Young girls especially like that, since it makes it easier for them to use their phones. You can knit them in 2 sizes; 50 or 60 g of yarn is enough. The outside is decorated with a pretty cable pattern. The insides are knitted in stockinette stitch. The wrist warmers have a thumb gusset, so they fit the hand perfectly.


Heart pendant

Wonderful to crochet from leftover yarn. You always need one as a gift for someone dear. You can use them as bag charms, gift tags, or scented hangers in the wardrobe.


Summer dress for dolls

This is also a lovely idea for the weekend. It only needs a little yarn and is very easy to crochet. The little dress is crocheted in one piece from top to bottom. It closes at the back with snaps, so it always fits perfectly. A crochet chart is included. You can also crochet these little dresses in advance and then give them to your children or grandchildren when the opportunity arises. The children in a daycare group would certainly be delighted to receive them for Children’s Day, too.
