Crafts + Cash Back: Campaign No. 4 [Planning]

Hi :- )

Now that our first three projects (Guardian Angels, Spring Owls, Guardian Angels, Fabric Baskets) have wrapped up successfully and were a lot of fun, we don’t want to wait too long for the fourth project. To choose a pattern, we need your input.

Which pattern should we use for the next project in the “Crafts + Cash Back” series?

Best regards
Alexander

How about Frollein Häkelfein?

The price of the pattern could be lowered for the promotion.

Best wishes, Danie from crochet with love

But I could also easily imagine something knitted... maybe a nice shawl

I could also imagine the owl egg cozy working well... if you close it at the bottom, you have a great bag charm.

I would join in for little animals—snails, little owls, etc., or pacifiers, little shoes... Small amigurumis like these:

   

Please excuse me, but I still think the little guardian angels are the prettiest :-)

Hi,

how about including one of the free patterns this time?!!

Best, Karo

That’s really nice :-)

 

The snails are cute :-)

Hi, I’d like to suggest my “La Fleur” hat.
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/1356/sommermuetze-fuer-babys-kinder-la-fleur-alle-gr

I think Josasu’s millipede is really cute. You could make it in lots of different variations.

Best regards, Ingrid

We can also use a free pattern. Then, instead of a refund, there will be a gift credit (shopping credit).

Marion just suggested on Facebook using this free crochet pattern for the campaign. What do you think?



Little Pink Lady 

I think the idea of a free Pink Lady is fantastic! I’m all for it!

Best regards, Karo

We could also try something knitted that you can actually wear. Not everyone has a use for the little dolls.

Hi crochetwithlove,
what do you mean, for example? I think there are a lot more people here who crochet :-)

Best regards, Karo

Yes, there are also crocheted shawls, scarves, and cell phone cases. Unfortunately, I can’t search on my phone right now.

Hello and moin,
I’d like to agree with crochetwithlove’s statement—maybe choose something knitted or something to wear as an alternative,
that might possibly draw new customers’ attention to CP
.
Just mentioning in passing, I think the fact that there’s more crocheting here could be because crochet is promoted more.
Well, if a crochet pattern wins out, I have a suggestion of my own.

My egg cozies: They are quite easy to crochet, and maybe a real change of pace, and currently with 15% off also still inexpensivePrice: €3.50 €2.98With prepaid account only: €2.38

Sunny greetings to everyone here

Hi there, cute little hats :-) Great idea.
I’m in favor of a free pattern. I think it would be fair to people who don’t have much—or any—money, or who can’t pay for some other reason, and also for the little ones. Bottom line: free is good for this campaign.

Warm regards
Mara

Hello Mara,

good points! Like you, I'm also in favor of a free pattern. For example, we could take the most popular one or one with a top rating. 

The baby shoes by Natalija: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/57/haekelanleitung-kostenlos-babyschuhe
Hat by Josasu: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/153/haekelanleitung-muetze-kostenlos-ballonmuetze-joleen
Or (my favorite) Owl Lulu: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/162/haekelanleitung-eule-kostenlos-eule-lulu
Or (also my favorite): https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/216/haekelanleitung-knubbelmonster-kostenlos 

You can make lots of creative things with these patterns, and I think all the kids among us would be happy to join in too. 

Best, Karo

Lulu, in my opinion



Best regards, flyowl

But that’s more of that amigurumi stuff again—we’ve already done that. And I want to knit something! :)

Hello,

I’d also lean more toward sewing...
A woman can never have enough bags, and this free pattern by Leni is perfect for that

https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/2125/freebook-falten-liebe-kostenlose-naehanleitung


Best, Heike




 

Yes, sewing would be great too. Ms. Scheiner is a dressmaker... she always has beautiful patterns, including free ones.

Tyona suggested this pattern on Facebook: 



Resa Crochet Stole

P.S. I’m listing them all here so we have a complete overview of all suggestions in one place.

Hi Karonana3,
I can accept your argument about “FREE,” but when you write,
“We could, for example, choose the most popular one or one with the highest rating,” I don’t think that’s appropriate.
Those are all patterns that are a year old or older and are regularly promoted on Facebook—that’s not really comparable.
Best regards
Moni
 

Yes, Moni, I think so too. Then all the others get overlooked again because they’re not in the top 10.

By the way, the shawl is pretty.

Maybe CP should start a small survey to find out who crochets, knits, sews, or does crafts. Then they could look for patterns accordingly.

Hello Moni,

I have to agree with you. Better to use a new pattern. The old ones would be rather boring :-) Thanks! I didn't think it through much *ashamed*

Best, Karo

We’ll collect suggestions in this thread for a few days and then conduct a poll featuring the patterns suggested here. The pattern with the most votes will “win.” After that, we’ll get permission from the designer and we can get started.

Hello Karo,.
Thank you for taking another moment to let that sink in.
Hello crochetwithlove,
it’s nice that you see it that way too
Moni

Hello, I’d be in favor of something related to football, since the Football World Cup is coming up soon!

E.g.:     https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/2191/e-book-eselchen-pdf

Hello, I’m still new here and just happened to read about your group project here by chance. I’m pretty good at both crocheting and knitting, but I’m only just trying my hand at sewing.

Before I can decide whether to join in here, I’d like to read how it works and over what period of time—so how do you do it, and within what timeframe?

Gabi baerchen 

 

We’ve already done crochet and sewing. I’d be up for knitting this time too!
Best wishes

Hi baerchen, welcome to Crazypatterns. We don’t have a schedule yet. We’re collecting suggestions for patterns, and then we’ll select one (by vote). Roughly speaking, I can say that we’ll probably start around June 9 and run the campaign for two weeks. 

Those snails are so cute.....

Ivonne suggested Josasu’s snails on Facebook



Roberta the Snail - a snail with a shell

Good morning! I just discovered this pattern. It would fit well. 

Pendant “A Heart for Germany” - Free Crochet Pattern

Best, Karo

I’d be in favor of a free pattern too, but there just aren’t many possible variations for the Germany Heart anymore.

Regards, Ingrid

These patterns would be great if they were free

New suggestion from Patricia on Facebook:



“Soccer Star” baby sneakers for the World Cup

My World Cup butterfly would be perfect for this, too. It looks great in any color, and you can decorate it beautifully with embellishments. So let your imagination run wild...!

https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/2181/taschenbaumler-schmetterling

Are there any more suggestions, or can we go ahead and start the poll?

I’m currently still working on a pattern, but I’m not sure how long it will take me. Suitable for the World Cup and can be crocheted individually.

I personally love turtles ...

how about https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/1323/blumenkroetchen-amigurumi-haekelanleitung

This can be wonderfully varied with shapes and colors .... :-)

I really like that one too, and it would definitely be great for crocheting, with everyone able to contribute their ideas......

I meant the butterfly by Ulla Mende......

I think Josasu’s snails would have been really great.
Using a free pattern and then giving participating users the money in the form of store credit
I think that’s pretty generous.
I hope this draws a lot of new people’s attention to Crazypatterns

Hi,
I’ve been on vacation for a few days. Has a decision been made yet on which pattern to use?

Best regards
Ingrid

I have another soccer player design that’s perfect for the World Cup, but I haven’t uploaded the pattern yet and can’t post a photo here from my phone. I’ll show it tonight. We could then customize the jerseys.

Best regards, Danie

Sounds good—I’m already excited. So nothing’s been decided yet!

Best regards

Not that I'm aware of.

So, here’s the soccer player... I’ll upload the pattern to the shop tomorrow

Best regards, Danie :)

Hello, dear craft enthusiasts,

The poll is expected to launch sometime next week.

Best regards
Alexander

Vote for the upcoming campaign: Crafts + Money Back #4

Join the vote so your favorite patterns are included in the “Crafts + Money Back #4” campaign

VOTE NOW »

We’re already excited to see the results!
Good luck to all participating users.

Hi Alexander,

could you please briefly explain how the percentages in the poll are calculated?

Best regards
Petra

Hi Petra,

The pattern with the most votes gets 100%. The other percentages are calculated based on that.
Let’s say pattern “A” has 10 votes and pattern “B” has 5 votes. That means pattern “A” is 100% and pattern “B” is 50%.
If pattern “C” had 7 votes, that would be 70%.

Best regards
Alexander

Ah. Okay. Got it. :-)

Why not Guardian Angels this time?

Done!!! There are so many beautiful things to choose from. It’s a tough decision. Sorry to everyone who didn’t get my vote :o)

Hi,

@bienchen98, unfortunately, nobody suggested the little guardian angels. We only used patterns that were suggested here.
@kimbaby, around 400 votes have been cast so far. Thank you for taking part too :-)

Best regards, and enjoy the holiday!
