Dear users, dear designers,
grab your crochet hook and your new yarn. I’m sure you’ve stocked up again—I know how it goes. :- )
Here in this thread there’s food for the crochet-hungry; here are the new patterns from March. Start crocheting now.

@Designers,
this promotional thread is for all designers. Please introduce your crochet patterns from March 2017 here. There is no quantity limit in this thread. Don’t forget a link and image, as well as information about the material, difficulty level, technique, and what makes the pattern special.

Brand new in my shop is the shawl/stole "dark Lady". By lining up different pattern repeats, this breathtaking design is created. This example has a length of about
1.85 m and a width of approx. 43 cm, but it explains exactly how you can
make it longer or shorter as needed. This pattern
is definitely suitable for beginners.



Click here and you’ll go straight to the pattern:


Material:

• Depending on the desired length of the shawl, you will need ( here approx. 250 g gradient yarn cake with a total yardage of 1250 m )
• Crochet hook size 2.5 – 4 ( here size 2.5)

Children’s eyes will light up :-)
Mimi and her friends can be customized however you like. Give them different clothes, change the shape of their faces with different stuffing or different eyes and ears. With one pattern, you can crochet these three cuties. Including the different outfits and the pacifier. 
Single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. Slip stitches, increases and decreases, some stuffing, and the right hook for your yarn. Which yarn you use isn’t crucial. It only changes the size. With 100 g of yarn, you already have the doll. And depending on the outfit, you can also use up scraps.

Have fun crocheting!

Are you looking for a gift for expectant mothers or for a baby? Or maybe for children who already have everything?

How about this cozy blanket, which will not only delight babies but also invite children to snuggle. Because of the blanket’s size, you can use it in a variety of ways. For newborns or in the stroller, the blanket is simply folded double. Then it grows with them, is used just as a single layer later on, and is therefore also suitable for toddlers. It also works wonderfully as a car blanket. On drives at night or in the morning, e.g. to kindergarten, you can use it to cover your child nicely in the child seat.

You can put together the color gradient for the blanket entirely according to your wishes. No gradient yarn is needed, just yarn in your desired colors.

Even beginners can make this blanket, because you only need to know chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, and double crochet. The pattern also includes many pictures and detailed step-by-step instructions.
