Careful: This rug is a little addictive ... The bright colors develop a dynamic of their own. After each color, you start thinking about which one should come next—and in the end, every rug is one of a kind! That’s really exciting!

You can DIY this cheerful, colorful, feel-good rug in all sizes and colors! An ideal beginner crochet project, that is a lot of fun but requires a bit of diligence and perseveranc e,. We crochet a mesh of chain stitches, single crochets, and double crochet. We pull French knitting cords through the mesh. I show you exactly how everything works on 28 illustrated pages. The amount of material needed depends on the
size of the rug you want. Leftovers can also be used very well,
because for each French knitting strand we only need 5 g
of one color. For the rug in my pattern and in the photos, which is approx. 65 cm x 100 cm, you will need:

• 4 x 50 g Bravo yarn from Schachenmayr for the mesh (133 meters per 50 g)
• 350 g of Bravo yarn leftover yarn for the French knitting cords
  
• 50 g Bravo yarn for the border
• Crochet hook size 3.5
• Scissors, darning needle
• Safety pins
• Knitting mill (= spool knitter) with crank from Prym

I hope you enjoy making the rug—yours, Ina --> Click here and you’ll go straight to the pattern!

Crochet Pattern Bottle Outfit Black-Red-Gold



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

 .. an original gift wrap for wine and champagne bottles—a real eye-catcher at any party.. crocheted for HER as a “bottle petticoat” and for HIM as a “bottle suit with bow tie”.

Yarn scraps can be used up wonderfully this way, because we need only about 25 g per color per bottle, so about 75 g of a yarn for crochet hook size 2.5. Pretty much all yarns are suitable as long as they are not labeled for a hook size thicker than 3.0. In addition, we need a tape measure, scissors, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, a stitch marker is helpful (a contrasting thread will do, too), and of course standard wine or champagne bottles.

Both patterns are included in one PDF and are detailed with photos over 15 pages. The pattern is not a basic crochet course, but it does include a helpful link tip for those with less experience.

These crochet skills are required:
chain stitches, crocheting in rows and rounds, slip stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet. Front and back post double crochet are explained and illustrated with photos.

It’s incredibly exciting because no two rounds are alike. A lightweight hat in a lace pattern—varied and full of surprises—a knitting thriller :-)

You can find the pattern here.



Don’t let that put you off—that was just sensationalist advertising language :-) The hat certainly isn’t difficult, but it does require a bit of attention. It’s worked in sock yarn; you’ll need 150–170 m, depending on the size.
The pattern is available in two sizes, written out in full and also shown in a knitting chart.

You can easily use leftover yarn in different colors for the sandwich. It’s worked in single crochet. It’s suitable for beginners.

Materials:

• Yarn (133 m per 50 g) Colors: white, red, yellow, green, light brown, dark red
• Crochet hook size 2
• Yarn needle

I find all patterns exciting where you combine different colors and see how they interact as you crochet.

That’s why I’ve gathered some especially colorful patterns for you here, where you can mix and match however you like:
