Handmade Doorstoppers

Dear users, dear authors,
in summer, it’s nice to leave doors and windows open. That’s when it’s practical to have a doorstopper that keeps the doors open so the wind can’t slam them shut. Of course, there’s no reason why the doorstopper can’t also be decorative.
Here you can discover suitable patterns for doorstoppers.

@Authors,
please present thematically suitable patterns here. 2-3 patterns per author are enough. Please include a link and image, as well as material information, difficulty level, details about what makes the pattern special, and technique information. Good luck.

Window stoppers would also be great so that windows don’t slam shut in a draft!

The doorstop with a cotton cover protects doors and walls and adds a touch of charm to the room with its nautical design. It evokes a longing for sun, beach, and sea, while also bringing back fond memories—such as those of a past vacation—and also makes an ideal gift. The weighted inner insert can be removed separately, so the doorstop can also be used as a bag or storage basket when unfilled.

Hans Hoppel is a very conscientious doorstop that is quick and easy to crochet from thick felt wool and then felted in the washing machine. An illustrated tutorial for the funny colorful bobbles is of course included too. The felting makes him very sturdy, and you can easily grab him by the ears when you want to move him.
