Crocheted jars are currently all the rage—and for good reason—because they make a lovely gift, not just for Christmas. I like to crochet them in advance so I always have a little something to bring along when I’m invited somewhere on short notice. Of course, you can vary the colors however you like, so you can make the jars to match the seasons.

No idea yet for a Christmas gift for your best friend, sister, mother, or mother-in-law? Or even for yourself?

Then the crochet pattern for the Peara scarf is just right for you.

The scarf is crocheted diagonally, which creates a special eye-catcher, for example if you use gradient yarns. The highlight is the little beads that are crocheted in as you go.
The photo tutorial in the pattern shows exactly how it’s done.

Materials needed:

• approx. 100–200 grams of yarn (or 800–1000 meters)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn used (if you crochet tightly, use one size larger)
• Beads (e.g., seed beads – the hole should be large enough so that they
• don’t sit too tightly on the yarn)
• a piece of very thin wire for stringing the beads
• sewing needle for weaving in ends

The scarf is very easy for beginners to make, since almost all you need are double crochet and chain stitches.

Get this great pattern now, which includes charts in addition to a detailed photo tutorial and written instructions, and crochet a very special and beautiful Christmas gift.

And best of all: There is 30% off the pattern until the end of November!

Socks made from 6-ply sock yarn are a little thicker – and therefore also warmer – and above all faster to knit than ones made from 4-ply yarn. They are popular as house and bed socks, cabin socks, or also for hiking in mountain boots. Men love socks like these in work boots. And with this "Christmas sock yarn" (material details see below), baby socks make a lovely gift - knitted in just one evening in front of the TV :-)

This is basically a sock-knitting course, illustrated in detail using children's socks size 32/33. All other sizes can be knitted according to the corresponding chart information for 6-ply sock yarn.

Don't be alarmed! It is harder to describe the process than to knit the socks.

In the download you'll find:

• PDF sock-knitting pattern - illustrated step by step (22 pages)
• Baby sock size chart for 6-ply sock yarn for newborns up to shoe size 20
• Sock size chart for 6-ply sock yarn for children's socks through adult shoe size 47

Note:
For 4-ply sock yarns, there is a separate sock-knitting course with corresponding charts here in my shop at https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/5603/sockenstrick-lehrgang-fuer-4-faediges-garn-alle-groessen-fuer-baby-kinder-damen-herrensocken

We need 1 skein = 150 g (yardage approx. 420 m to 450 m) up to shoe size 44; 200 g – 250 g from size 45
of a 6-ply sock yarn; used here is the especially soft Christmas yarn color 02 “Mally Socks – Lungauer Sockenwolle” by Ferner Wolle, 75% merino, 25% polyamide;
gauge approx. 22 sts x 31 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm;
set of double-pointed needles size 3.5; row counter is helpful; tape measure, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.
