Tip: How about some new decor / home decor / homeware?

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough.
Don’t forget the link and image, as well as information about the material, technique, difficulty level, and what makes the pattern special.

This relatively simple, timeless table runner stands out with its different pattern rows and is therefore a
beautiful decoration for any table or dresser.
The length is 105 cm, the width 40 cm (of course depending on the yarn and hook size used).


This pattern is definitely suitable for beginners.

Required materials:

• 155 g = approx. 580 m - 4-ply yarn in 3 different colors (of course, the runner can also be made in a single color and with any other yarn/wool)
• Crochet hooks to match the yarn (size 3 was used here)

This simple yet pretty top is also a lovely vacation-at-home project.
It can be made very easily in all sizes.
Whether as a long top, crop top, or dress, you decide the length yourself. Thanks to adjustable straps, a good fit is ensured even after several washes.


The pattern is definitely suitable for ambitious beginners

Required materials (depending on size and length):

• For women's size 36/38, I used approx. 750 m of 4-ply yarn (for larger sizes, plan for correspondingly more)

• 4 buttons, 12 mm - 15 mm

This cute wrap bracelet is crocheted in a flash. It’s an eye-catcher on any wrist. Super comfortable to wear—lightweight and trendy. Also makes a great gift or little present.

The bracelet is also super cute when worn as an anklet. And if you simply lengthen it, it turns into a chic, delicate belt.

The bracelet is crocheted in one piece, so there’s no tedious weaving
in of ends (just the starting and ending tails). So grab some yarn and a
crochet hook and get started.

Have a wonderful staycation!

Set up a lounge chair outside in the garden or on the balcony and let your mind wander—what could be better? But for the perfect lounging experience, you’ll need a pillow!

Take a look.



This pattern is a lot of fun to knit, and once you’re done, you’ll have a very special pillowcase.
It’s knitted from cotton yarn (140 m per 50 g); you’ll need two colors: 2 skeins of Color A (white in this case) and 1 skein of Color B (blue). Use 3.5 mm knitting needles. The pattern is written out in full and also includes a knitting chart.

It’ll soon be that time of year again for mushroom hunting. Chanterelles (called Pfifferlinge in northern Germany), porcini, parasol mushrooms—the forest offers many delights. Or maybe you’ll even get a chance to pick raspberries while on vacation? Whatever treasures you find along the way, you’ll need a bag to carry them home.

Here is the pattern for it.



It’s knitted in rounds in a pretty textured stitch pattern (knitting chart included). You can use thick or thin cotton yarn, knit it in one or two colors, and easily adjust the size to suit your needs. Everything is explained in detail in the pattern.

At an outdoor barbecue party in the garden, it can happen that you lose track of time. Suddenly it’s night, it gets chilly, and you need something warm to snuggle into. Of course, you can also pour something warming into your mouth, but experience shows that won’t protect you from catching a cold. A shawl will.

Here is the pattern for it.




This is a rectangular stole that is knitted lengthwise. It has a pretty lace and cable pattern. Basically, you can use any yarn you like for it. The pattern is written out and also shown in knitting charts.

That way you always have everything you need at hand. The craft bucket is also very easy and quick for crochet beginners to make.

Tobi the Clumsy



Tobi is quick and easy to crochet. Chain stitches, single crochet, some stuffing, and a blunt needle. With about 70 g of cotton yarn and a size 3 crochet hook, you’re all set. Of course, you can use any yarn you like; this will only change the size and the amount of material needed. Use up your leftover yarn and conjure up a loyal friend for your children or grandchildren :-)

Have fun crocheting :-)

                                


Giraffe Peppi  

A fun way to use up leftover yarn. Crochet the always cheerful Peppi for yourself. That’s summer, that’s sunshine, that’s good vibes :-)

The giraffe is made with fine crochet thread and will be about 27 cm tall. A hook size No. 2–2.5 is suitable. A little stuffing, 2 eyes, and a blunt needle. If you prefer crocheting with thicker yarn, the neck will be a bit wobbly. But Peppi also looks great as a floppy toy. At least that’s what my neighbor’s girl says ;-) Magic ring, single crochet, and increases and decreases. With about 35–40 g of yarn, the giraffe is finished very quickly and can move into your home.

Have fun crocheting :-)
