Protect your drink from wasps when you’re outdoors! You can also use these crocheted coasters as lids and insert a straw through the hole in the middle. It’s best to crochet two at a time so the coaster and lid match. And if you crochet a few more rounds and add a loop, you’ll have beautiful fruit-shaped pot holders in no time!
The pattern is very simple and suitable even for absolute crochet beginners.You can download it here!

A poncho made from thin cotton for cool summer evenings—and, if you like, also a triangular shawl. Here you see a true quick-change artist that is airy and warming at the same time. The shawl/poncho is a real eye-catcher thanks to the special wave pattern with a 3D effect.


In the knitting pattern, the complete shawl with the pattern repeats and many photos is explained precisely step by step over 18 pages, plus an additional 2 pages with detailed pattern charts. However, you should have basic knitting knowledge and a little practice.

I would describe the difficulty level as intermediate. The shawl can also be knitted smaller or larger as desired, so it will fit other sizes too. 

Measurements (fits sizes 36–42):

• Width of the shawl: approx. 180 cm 
  
• Total length of the shawl to the point: approx. 90 cm 
  
• The height and width measurements can easily be adjusted to another size.
  

Materials needed (for the size described here):

• 300 g cotton in white (here: yardage 170 m/50 g) 
  
• 50–100 g cotton in pink 
  
• One 80 cm circular knitting needle, size 3.5 
  
• One crochet hook, size 3.5 
  
• One yarn needle for weaving in ends 
  
• A few stitch markers
  

Here is the knitting pattern for the poncho/triangular shawl.
