striped, patterned, polka-dotted, and checked

Dear users, dear authors,
There won’t be any boredom here in this thread.
Here is space for everything that is striped, patterned, polka-dotted, and checked. Of course, you can also create your own pattern mix. Life is too short for monotonous colors and patterns.
Have fun.

@Authors,
this is an advertising thread for all authors. 2-3 patterns per author are enough.
Don’t forget the link and image. Details about the material, technique, what makes the pattern special, and the difficulty level must be included.

This scarf has lots of dots and is knitted double-face, which means it can be used on both sides; the colors are simply mirrored on the back.
It is knitted on 3 mm needles with yarn that has a yardage of 150 m per 50 g; you need 4 balls of each color. Of course, you can also use other yarns, but then you should choose a suitable needle size.
The technique is not quite easy; a little experience with it is helpful.

You can find the pattern here.

The set from 0 to months is easy to knit and just right for the  coming spring days!

Material:

• Acrylic yarn  yardage approx. 150 m/ 50 g

• .)
• A set of double-pointed needles size 3 to 3.5
• A circular knitting needle size 3
• 2 buttons

The phone cases are made from cotton yarn (yardage 125 m/50 g) with a 3.5 mm crochet hook and consist of chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, and half double crochet stitches.

Now we're reinventing stripes! Because with this delicate little star pattern, the “Emma” baby hat is a very special accessory for little ones and a lovely gift for a birth or “just because.”



The pattern for this cute baby beanie includes instructions for 3 different sizes:

In addition, in the pattern I explain how to adapt the design for any other size and any yarn you like, so you can also crochet the hat for older children. For the hat you’ll need approx. 50 g of beautiful, soft yarn and a crochet hook 1–2 sizes larger than recommended on the ball band—for example, merino wool (yardage 100 m/50 g) and a size 5.0 mm crochet hook.

So take a look right away and get the pattern! You’ll see how easy it is and how much fun it is!

Large, sturdy, and lovingly decorated—with this bag, you’ll bring a lot of joy even before the actual gift is unwrapped.

Babies love bright colors and rattle sounds—these stimulate their senses, making play an
important part of healthy development. This cute bunny rattle will be a wonderful companion during a baby’s most important developmental phase.
Whether as a small, lovingly crocheted gift for a birth
or baptism, or as a first toy with Mom’s love in every stitch,
this little bunny is an absolute showstopper. The pattern includes 12 pages with plenty of clear, detailed photos; even ambitious beginner crocheters can easily
follow along to make the rattle. For this great project, you’ll need:

• A 2–2.5 mm crochet hook
• yarn; I recommend Mondial Bio Soft Cotton (50g–180 m). This yarn is made from 100% organic cotton, is very soft, and has been tested
  for harmful substances, making it ideal for baby toys. (Alternatively, you can use
  Katia “Candy” for Baby or Online Cotton Baby)
  You can also use a different yarn, but you’ll need to pay attention to the
  yardage; otherwise, the bunny will turn out huge
  . You’ll need:
• about 25 g of pink yarn for the rattle
• black scraps to crochet the eyes, or you can use black beads
• gray scraps for the stripes, the ear, and to embroider the nose
• orange scraps for the carrot
• green scraps for the carrot
• Sewing thread in a matching color to sew the ears and the appliqué in place
• Black sewing thread to embroider the eyebrows, the whiskers, and the stripes on the carrot
• A darning needle for sewing
• A pair of scissors
• A row marker or a contrasting thread to mark the beginning of each round
• stuffing
• rattle insert

To crochet the rattle, you’ll need to know how to do the following:

• Single crochet (sc)
• Decreases, increases
• slip stitch
• Magic ring

Selling finished rattles is also not allowed. If you have any questions about the pattern, I’d be happy to answer them: fuchsgeschwister@gmx.de
