Summertime—vacation time. The dolls want to go on vacation. For that, they need a sleeping bag.


Materials: Scraps of various colors (50 g / 150 m), size 2.5 crochet hook, scissors, snaps, yarn needle

The weekend is also a great time to start something a little bigger. How about a crocheted scarf?

You can find the pattern here.



Sock yarn in bright, bold colors works well for this—but of course, you can also use something more subdued.
The scarf features an airy mesh pattern that lets you see your progress quickly. To make it a bit sturdier, cables are worked in between, which are explained in a tutorial with pictures.

If you have a ball of sock yarn at home, then you already have everything you need for this triangular shawl.

Take a look.



The shawl is easy to knit; you just need to know knit and purl stitches, and there are a few openwork rows in between, but those are also very simple. A lovely knitting project for relaxing hours in the garden - or on the sofa in bad weather.

If you want to quickly use up a few leftover sock yarn scraps over the weekend, you can do it with this little bag.

The pattern for it can be found here.



'It is 16 cm tall, so really something small that is quick to make. You’ll need sock yarn in two different colors and a set of 2.5 mm double-pointed needles. There is a knitting chart for the knitted-in hearts.
