My ponchos are a perfect fit here.

Asteria - Knitted Star Poncho


The pattern is an easy beginner's model. The shape of the five points is created through cleverly placed increases and decreases.

The model can be knitted for children from 12 months up to primary school age. Only the yarn yardage changes.

The adjusted stitch distribution for a different gauge or yarn is easy to calculate.

• Formulas for calculating other sizes are included in the pattern.

Edit: Of course, the model can also be knitted for adults.

What do you need to know?
• Casting on
• Knit and purl stitches
• kfb (knit-front-back) increase
• Knitting stitches together
• Binding off

The basic techniques listed are not explained in the pattern.

And here is the crocheted version.

Harlequin - crocheted star poncho
   
A harlequin is a joker in a brightly colored costume. In comedy, the harlequin is considered a European phenomenon that has been around for centuries. So it is exactly the right namesake for this equally colorful children's poncho.

The color gradient comes from a trendy gradient cake, so there’s no annoying weaving in of lots of ends.
This pattern was created at a customer’s request for everyone who would like to have an Asteria but can’t knit.

You simply crochet in rounds and relax while letting the color gradient do the work. In the end, you only need to weave in the starting and ending ends.

What do you need to know?

• chain stitches
• single crochet stitches
• double crochet stitches
• decreases or crocheting stitches together
• post double crochet stitches

The basic techniques mentioned are not explained in the pattern.

Everything included:
•suitable for beginners
•recommended from size 74/86
•can be expanded up to adult XXL

You’ll need these materials at home:
•1 skein, 1200 m yardage, 4-ply, Garnstube brand
•Alternatively, sock yarn or lace yarn
•3.5 mm and 6 mm crochet hooks
•1 stitch marker
•scissors
•yarn needle

Here I have another beautiful star for decorating and wrapping gifts:


 
This star is made of photo cardstock and is approx. 16.5 x 18.5 x 6 cm in size. It can be hung, for example, in a window until Christmas and used as a decoration. In this case, however, the contents should not be too heavy.

My little stars are perfect for leftover yarn of any kind. Whether as ribbon for Christmas packages, as a garland, or for the Christmas tree. With just a little yarn, they are quick to crochet. Add a glitter yarn edging and they’re ready as a gift or small hostess gift for the Advent season. 


Kommt doch einfach mal bei mir vorbei. Ich freue mich auf euch.

Fitting the theme, the crocheted star gift box has arrived in my shop today :)

With a size of approx. 22 x 10 cm and stabilized side walls, it offers space for a surprise or two. Treats can also be served beautifully in it. Wouldn't that be something for you?

The pattern also includes an extensive set of crochet ideas in star shapes:
Whether tealight/cup coasters, placemats, scatter decorations, tree/window decorations, or gift tags - a beautifully set table for Christmas is guaranteed.

You need approx. 250 grams of cotton yarn for a 5.5 mm hook and stabilizing film for the side walls (alternatively cardboard/photo cardstock). For the other crochet ideas, you need cotton yarn for a 3.5 mm hook.

Get the pattern set here.

These three tea light holders are made from the same template: Whether you make them without any decoration, decorate them with my motifs, or decorate them in some other way is up to you. The color of the star can be freely changed to suit your own taste.
 

 
The recess in the star shape fits real tea light candles and the corresponding LED candles. The holders are made of photo cardstock and are approx. 14 x 14 x 2 cm in size. They are easy to make and require no special prior knowledge other than cutting, folding, and gluing.

A poinsettia that won't wilt. The pattern is suitable for beginners; all you need is red and green cotton yarn and a crochet hook, and you're ready to get started.

These are two stars from a set of six that can be expanded almost infinitely—both by varying the distribution of yellow and white and by adding other colors of tracing paper.


 
The stars are made of cardstock and tracing paper and measure approximately 30 x 26 cm. The designs are not transferred onto the cardstock but are cut out directly using the template. These stars are very easy for beginners to make and—if scaled up slightly—are even suitable for crafting with children (for safety reasons, the design should be cut out with scissors rather than a craft knife in this case).
