Crochet Pattern: Triangle Shawl “COLORFUL”



(Click the image to purchase/download )

Cheerfully colorful—in your choice of colors (you can even use up leftover yarn)—this triangle shawl can be quickly crocheted in just a few evenings—very relaxing… and a wonderful gift for all kinds of occasions (Easter, Mother’s Day, birthdays, Christmas, weddings, etc.). In coordinating colors, it’s perfect for a trip to the theater, or in a rainbow of colors for vacation and the beach.


  • Also ideal for beginners
  • NO gauge required
  • Works with any yarn of your choice; any color combination—you can even use up leftover yarn
  • Shawl size is up to you; dimensions of the shawl shown: approx. 200 cm x 100 cm
  • Illustrated PDF pattern including a printable summary (no crochet chart)

You only need these crochet skills : chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches (all explained with illustrations).

Materials :
Basically, you can use any yarn of your choice with the appropriate hook size; thin yarns, lace yarns, and gradient yarns (e.g., Bobbel) work especially well for this shawl.

For the size crocheted here:

a total of approx. 350 g of Limone/Catania cotton yarn, 100% cotton, 50 g – 125 m, any color combination; here, 8 colors (partly using up leftover yarn); according to the label, suitable for hook sizes 2.5–3.5; used here: size 3.5 crochet hook. We’ll also need: a yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors. Stitch markers are helpful for beginners, and pins for blocking.

Colorful, more colorful, Knobblys ♥
These little handy color nubs are always welcome small gifts ... for a birthday, for the nice neighbor, as a little comforter, for the new car ... they hang or sit anywhere and put a smile on your face :-)
A size 2 1/2 crochet hook, some cotton in your favorite colors (max. 20 g), and a good handful of stuffing, and you’re ready to go! They’re also quite doable for beginners :-)

Striped Cotton Short-Sleeved Knitted Cardigan


(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Spring sends its greetings - summer can come - wonderful in fall too - in winter to throw on over something... And stripes are totally on trend.

The PDF pattern is illustrated across 23 pages.

These knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knitting stitches together, yarn over, emphasized decreases, and increases from the horizontal strand (explained with pictures).

Difficulty level: medium for beginners, otherwise easy

We need
in total for sizes S to L approx. 450 g Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), 100% mercerized cotton, yarn label information: 50 g – 125 m length, needle size 2.5 – 3.5, 26 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm with the following color distribution:

  • Blue                    100 g
  • White                   100 g
  • Dark green 150 g
  • Light green              100 g

Depending on the size, more or fewer leftover bits of yarn per ball will remain.
I used here: knitting needle size 3.5, 3 stitch holders and 1 cable to place the stitches on hold, stitch markers and row counter (not absolutely necessary), pins for blocking, tape measure, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Gorgeous colors like the ones spring brings, a harmonious gradient, a light pattern, and lots of little flowers can be found in the wonderfully large crochet shawl Tausendschön.

Because of its slightly asymmetrical shape, it can be worn in many different ways. The little flowers, which also gave the scarf its name, are crocheted on as you go and are the highlight!
The shawl can be crocheted in many yarn weights. The size can also be varied freely.

Materials needed:


  • approx. 1500 meters of 3- to 4-ply yarn (e.g., lace yarn, gradient yarn cake, or sock yarn)
  • crochet hook size 3–4
  • sewing needle
  • scissors
  • kitchen scale (to calculate yarn usage)
  • optional: a little spray starch
Only basic crochet skills are needed for the shawl, so the pattern is wonderfully suitable for beginners.
A photo tutorial shows how the little flowers are crocheted.
Finished size: approx. 184 x 90 cm (but it can also be made smaller or larger).

The pattern is 12 pages long and includes written instructions as well as charts, a schematic drawing, and a photo tutorial.

Difficulty level: easy.

And the best part: For a short time, you can save up to 25% on the pattern price!

So click here and get the bestselling pattern now!

These colorful window garlands lift your spirits – both indoors and outdoors.
 

 
The chain elements are made of cardstock and attached to an organza ribbon approximately 85 cm long. Since the order of the chain elements is always the same, you can use the same principle to make additional chains in any length.

not just for Easter,
also as a gift, e.g. for Mother's Day
whether chicken, ladybug, or butterfly,
you can also make these 3 table sets with leftover yarn.
all 3 sets consist of a cutlery pouch, egg cozy, and napkin holder,
they are all available individually in my shop

the chicken is wearing a colorful sweater, for even more color.
e.g. here https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/24871/bestecktasche-huhn-nicht-nur-zu-ostern-gehaekelt-von-dadade



and the butterfly is beautifully colorful anyway.
e.g. here https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/25571/eierwaermer-schmetterling-die-tischdekoration-gehaekelt-von-dadade

a size 3 circular needle, and then you’re ready to go—no, wait, the pattern is still missing,

you can find the pattern here:

A little color really lifts your mood, doesn’t it?

Knit yourself a mood booster with the pattern for the Leaf Shawl.

The shawl is knitted sideways, and you knit the leaf border right along with it. Do you still have lots of leftover yarn in your stash? Then you can use it up in this project.

Materials you’ll need:

  • 150 g sock yarn
  • 1 pair of knitting needles, size 3 mm
  • 1 stitch marker
  • 1 kitchen scale
  • 1 needle for weaving in ends
  • 1 pair of scissors

Required skills:

  • casting on stitches
  • knit stitches
  • purl stitches
  • yarn overs
  • knit 2 stitches together
  • slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over
  • knit 3 stitches together
  • purl 2 stitches together
  • binding off stitches
The pattern is written out and includes a chart. Don’t worry, it reads more complicated than it is. And if needed, you can always ask me. However, I wouldn’t recommend the shawl for beginner knitters.

“Somewhere over the rainbow...” — what could be more colorful than a rainbow unicorn?

All you need to make one yourself is the easy-to-follow, richly illustrated step-by-step crochet pattern, a rainy weekend, some basic crochet skills (magic ring, chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, invisible decrease, increase), and a little patience
and care when sewing and embroidering. After a few swishes of the
2.5–3.0 mm crochet hook and a few stitches with the darning needle , abracadabra — about 170 g of yarn / leftover yarn with a yardage of 133 m/50 g, 1 pair of black safety eyes, 10 mm and three to four good handfuls of stuffing have turned into this cuddly mythical creature.

Have fun making your own!

Colorful Easter gifts definitely need colorful gift wrapping – like this bag here. It won’t hold very much, but it’s ideal for nice little gifts.


 
The bag is made of cardstock and measures approx. 13.5 x 17 x 6 cm. It is quick and easy to make and is also well suited for craft beginners.
