Either crocheted or knitted poncho
Crochet or knit, or both

  • 1 circular knitting needle size 2
  • 1 knitting needle size 2 for turning the cable
  • 1 shirt button
  • Sewing needle
  • matching sewing thread

This decorative tissue box can be crocheted quickly and easily. Very well suited for relaxing in the evening or on the terrace.


Nicely decorated with butterflies and hearts, it becomes an eye-catcher in any child's room, in the kitchen or dining room, in the living room, bathroom or guest toilet, and also in the study.

The box is crocheted in one piece with no seams. In the 23-page crochet pattern, every step is explained in detail, along with 53 detailed photos. It includes both the box and the appliqués.

A beautiful back can be captivating...
With this sassy top, you definitely won’t go unnoticed!

The sophisticated decorative trim with buttons as a connection shows off every back beautifully!
The basic pattern is simple yet sophisticated, and the design requires no decreases or increases at all...

... making it absolutely recommended for beginners, too!

For clarification, 2 crochet chart charts can be found in the pattern.
In addition, a diagram helps guide you step by step through the crochet process.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M/L/XL.
