Yarn Quantity Conversion Table for Alternative Yarn for Knitting and Crocheting




(To purchase/download, please click the image)


This is an Excel spreadsheet for automatically converting a yarn quantity from the "original yarn" to an
"alternative yarn" of your choice. 

Example:
The original yarn specified in your pattern has a
yardage of 85 m per 50 g. According to the instructions there, you need
600 g of this "original yarn" for your size. But you would like to make your item in a
different yarn (= alternative yarn). This yarn that you have chosen has a
yardage of 70 m per 50 g skein. You enter this information
into the Excel spreadsheet and immediately receive the required amount in
skeins and grams for your preferred yarn.

Making a gauge swatch is always advisable. To determine the
stitch count needed for your individual knitting project, the simple version of my
bonus Excel conversion table for your gauge is included.

Technical note:
To open an Excel spreadsheet, a so-called spreadsheet program such as Excel, LibreOffice (available free of charge http://de.libreoffice.org/) or OpenOffice (available free of charge http://www.openoffice.org/de/) must be installed. Open the file with a double-click, and when the message "Protected View" appears, please click "Enable Editing"

These colorful flowers continue to be very popular. And it’s easy to see why: Their uses are virtually endless—you can use them to decorate gift wrapping, adorn door wreaths, arrange them on a canvas to create a colorful picture… And all you need are lots of colorful cardstock scraps!

This crocheted summer dress—made in cool cotton—is perfect for summer days at the beach, at the pool or simply for a stroll through town to a coffeehouse!

The pattern is simple yet sophisticated—so it’s also absolutely recommended for beginners!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarification, the pattern also includes a crochet chart.

This pattern is designed for sizes S-M and M-L.
However, the included pattern piece and the gauge make it possible to make any size!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

Actually, the rule was originally just one pattern per author.
Since that was overlooked several times, I’ve updated it above.
Now all authors are allowed to post 2–3 patterns here in this thread.

Oops—sorry, Josefa . I just noticed that my post for the Top 5, which had suddenly disappeared from there, has now reappeared here in this thread. My Top 5 are now back where they belong. Please feel free to delete this—thanks.
Best regards,
Traudelina

Since the big Sleepy Dino has had offspring, I’ve been hit by total Sleepy Dino mania :-) That’s why the whole Sleepy Dino family is now available as a 2-in-1 value pack 



The value pack includes the crochet patterns for:

* the Sleepy Dino
* the Baby Sleepy Dino

Of course, both patterns are also available individually in meinem Shop.

 

 For both patterns together, you should have solid basic crochet skills, though the large dino is more suitable for beginners than the baby.

By the way, I’ve now heard several times that crocheting them has led to a certain dino addiction—I take no responsibility for that! However, a big extended dino family like this is probably perfect as a vacation-filling major project. :-)

>> Here you can adopt the whole dino gang <<

@Traudelina,
I removed the top 5; just present your 2-3 June bestsellers again.
Have fun.

Many thanks, Josefa.
