I’m not exactly in need of a vacation right now.
However, we do take short trips every now and then. I’m using these days to knit and crochet a few tops and summer sweaters.

Oh, as a retiree, I’m on permanent vacation — we go away for a spa treatment every year. I’m knitting a sweater there at the moment.

Urlaub... wer denkt da nicht an Sommer, Sonne, Strand und Meer?

Für einen wunderschönen Tag am Strand ist das Häkeltuch "Dance with Dolphins" genau das richtige.
Es erinnert an Karbik, an türkisfarbenes Wasser und an die Sonne, die auf dem Wasser glitzert.

Benötigte Materialien:

• ca. 1200 - 1300 Meter Garn (z.B. von 100Farbspiele) 
• Häkelnadel in entsprechender Größe (wenn man fest häkelt, lieber eine Größe mehr wählen) 
• Nähnadel zum Vernähen der Fäden
  

Fertige Größe ca. 200 x 90 cm

Für das Tuch werden nur Grundkenntnisse im Häkeln benötigt (Kettmaschen, feste Maschen, Luftmaschen, Stäbchen usw...).

Die Anleitung wurde testgehäkelt und auf Fehler überprüft. Sie umfasst 21 Seiten und enthält professionell erstellte Häkelschriften (Charts) sowie eine ausgeschriebene Anleitung und eine Schemazeichnung.

... we'll put it on our needles ;-)

And on top of that, we have a combo offer for you - "Buy 1, get 2, and save money too!"

Cotton quality + colorful colors + clever pattern = summer sweater + matching hat

SUMMER HAT in comfortable cotton quality:
Even in spring and summer, sometimes you need something on your head...

Perfect for warm days - whether over a bikini at the beach or over a tank top in the city - always an eye-catcher!

The mesh pattern is sturdy and doesn’t warp, since the slipped decreases are worked alternately.

The pattern includes a precise schematic for size 38/40.

The gauge in combination with the schematic, however, makes it possible to make it in any size!

A shawl around your neck is always a good idea...
It's best to have them in every color and shape—and to make that happen, the motto is: make them yourself!

Im Urlaub schwebt man gerne mal auf Rosa Wölkchen und da kommt ein Tuch, das diesen Namen trägt, doch gerade recht, oder?

„Rosa Wölkchen“ ist ein hübsches schmales Tuch, das von Zipfel zu Zipfel gehäkelt wird. Die Borte, die an kleine Wölkchen erinnert, wird gleich mit angehäkelt, die Form ergibt sich durch gleichmässige Zu- und Abnahmen.

Man kann das Tuch in vielen Garnen nacharbeiten, ob es Designergarn ist oder Sockenwolle – der eigenen Kreativität sind keine Grenzen gesetzt.
Sogar Wollreste können mit diesem Design super verarbeitet werden.

Es werden für das Tuch keine speziellen Kenntnisse im Häkeln benötigt, Grundkenntnisse sollten aber vorhanden sein (Luftmaschen, feste Maschen, Stäbchen, zusammen abmaschen).

Benötigte Materialien:

• ca. 600 – 800 Meter Wolle (je nach Lauflänge)
• Häkelnadel in ensprechender Stärke (wenn man sehr fest häkelt, lieber eine Nadelstärke größer wählen)
• Küchenwaage oder andere digitale Waage um die Hälfte des Verbrauchs zu ermitteln
• Nadel zum Vernähen der Fäden

Die Größe des fertigen Tuches beträgt ca. 200 x 90 cm.
Die Anleitung umfasst 15 Seiten, enthält ein ausführlich beschriebenes Fototutorial, detaillierte Charts und eine Schemazeichnung. Schwierigkeitsgrad leicht.

Who doesn’t know this? You’re on vacation and come across a wonderful yarn shop with yarns you simply have to have right away. And of course, you want to start knitting immediately.

Knitting needles are in your luggage, stitch markers too, a sewing needle and scissors as well, of course—but often you need a scale to calculate yarn usage. With the knitting pattern for the pretty Nimrodel lace shawl, that isn’t necessary.
This shawl can be knitted with almost any delicate summer yarn. 
Simply print out the pattern or read it on your tablet and get started.

You can focus completely on the pattern repeats, which require no further prerequisites apart from a little experience with yarn overs and knitting stitches together. After a few rows, you’ll have the pattern structure in your head and can knit away mindlessly until the yarn is used up.
Only the provisional cast-on requires a bit more knowledge, but it is explained in detail in this pattern.

Materials needed:

• 2 circular knitting needles suitable for the chosen yarn (one with a longer cable, one with a shorter cable, or a cable system such as KnitPro or Knitpicks
• Crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Sewing needle
  
• Scissors

Since the points may curl slightly after blocking (especially in humid weather), I recommend treating them with a little spray starch while blocking. This will make them more stable.

The pattern was test-knitted and checked for errors and clarity. It comprises 9 pages and contains detailed charts (no written instructions!) as well as photos and a schematic drawing.
Intermediate difficulty level.

• Crochet techniques for beginners as well as link tips

Materials:
Basically, you can use any yarn you like, with a hook about one to two sizes larger than recommended on the respective yarn label.
Fine lace yarns are especially recommended for this pattern. 4-ply sock yarn also works well.

used here:
approx. 80 g Daphne lace yarn (Schoeller+Stahl), 75% virgin wool, 25% polyamide, 50 g – 400 m for needle size 3.0 to 4.0; used here: crochet hook size 4.5, yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors. Pins for blocking.

You’ll already get that vacation feeling when you knit this summer cowl.

Summer, sun, vacation vibes—this skirt is a must-have.
You can make it in your desired length. As a mini skirt for a party or the beach, or knee-length for a restaurant visit. It can be made in all sizes. This pattern is not necessarily suitable for beginners!

Material usage depends on hook and yarn thickness:

• Crochet hook of your choice, here size 3.5
• e.g., for skirt size 36, 160 g of yarn was used (here Bravo by Schachenmayr with a length of 133 m/50 g)
• e.g., for skirt size 128/134, 140 g of yarn was used (here Bravo by Schachenmayr with a length of 133 m/50 g)
• 1 button (size also depends on the yarn and hook thickness)
• possibly ribbon and decorations (not a MUST)

Inspired by the colors of the Caribbean (or at least how I imagine them), I created this knitted bag. Made with thick cotton yarn (69 m per 50 g), it knits up quickly and isn’t difficult at all.
You’ll need: 2 skeins of Color A and 1 skein of Color B, a 5mm circular needle, a stitch marker, and a darning needle.

You can find the pattern here .

Are there any more vacation-themed patterns?

How about a weekend trip to London? “Boho in Soho” is a great companion for that. It’s a knitted summer scarf made of cotton—not exactly easy, but not too difficult either. You’ll need to know how to do drop stitches, as well as increases and decreases.
What makes this scarf special is that it’s not only knitted but also crocheted. The long body is knitted, but the ends are crocheted.
