A truly wonderful weekend project is my new diaper pouch! You can crochet it (almost) entirely from simple granny squares! A diaper pouch is really a “must-have” with a baby, and this one is truly something very special, isn’t it? :-)

The weekend is here—yay! They say it’s supposed to rain again soon anyway, so how about a few cozy hours of crafting? A crocheted shawl is fun to make and keeps you cozy.

Click here for the pattern.



This triangular shawl is crocheted from sock yarn (though it doesn’t really matter what kind of yarn you use). It features a pretty lace pattern and a ruffled edge.

This infinity scarf is very relaxing to knit, and you’ll soon find plenty of use for it.

You can find the pattern here.



Knitted from merino wool (125 m per 50 g), it is a soft and cozy accessory that also looks very elegant. The pattern is simple. It consists of knit and purl stitches, with a few lace rows added in between to loosen it up.

If you already have lots of plans for the weekend but still want to make something small in between, you’ll enjoy these little bags.

You can find the pattern here.



They are knitted from colorful leftover sock yarn (about 60–70 m for one). A quick sense of accomplishment is guaranteed!

With this wonderfully warm cowl, nothing can go wrong for men or women on cold days...
... and it’s trendy to boot!

The lovely textured relief pattern adds stability and a braided look.
Once you’ve crocheted the pattern repeat, you’ll have the hang of it -
even beginners will enjoy this pattern!

A detailed step-by-step explanation guides you through the crochet pattern.
For clarity, 1 chart in crochet chart format is included in the pattern.
In addition, a template with an integrated diagram helps you through the crochet process.

When unrolled, the scarf has a size of about 27 x 96 cm.
However, it can easily be made smaller or larger as needed.
The included template and the gauge will help with that!

And here’s the pattern with more details...

 

A completely different - trendy - hat is waiting for you here!

An extraordinary "brim" gives this cabled hat the perfect finishing touch!
And... this "brim" can be knitted in many different colors,
so the hat goes with every outfit!

A detailed STEP-by-STEP description as well as
several knitting charts guide you through the knitting process.

The pattern is designed for a head circumference of about 50-54 cm.
However, it is simple to make it larger or smaller as needed.
Gauge is included as always - for any adjustments!

And here is the pattern and more details...

 

With some TRENDS, you just have to join in...
Known by the name "Katniss' Cowl," this asymmetrical soul warmer has truly become a "MUST HAVE."
We have modified the original version a little.

The pattern is designed for size 38/40.
However, the included pattern template and the gauge make it possible to make any size!

Step by step, the pattern guides you through the knitting process.
You will also find a detailed chart in the pattern, which makes the knitting process easier for you.

And here is the pattern and more details...

 

For this doll cardigan, you’ll need about 20–25 g of sock yarn, a circular knitting needle and a set of size 4 double-pointed needles, as well as 3 buttons. You can knit the cardigan in any length you like in the doll mom’s favorite colors. That would be an ideal weekend project for you, wouldn’t it?

I hope you enjoy this handcraft. Yours, Ina

The reindeer coin purse is great gift packaging for little surprises or a cash gift. It’s crocheted from fluffy yarn (Maya by Woll Butt) or cotton (Catania by Schachenmayr) and can definitely be finished in a weekend, since it’s very easy to crochet. In addition to the yarn, you’ll need a clip purse clasp (about 8 x 4.5 cm) and a little stuffing.
You can find the pattern here!

A quick weekend project:

Crochet pattern for a sweet little bag

The perfect project for the weekend, because you can finish it in just a few hours. The gift bag is great for many occasions. Wrap a small gift, attach it as an extra to a larger gift, or bring it along to a party with a small bottle of Piccolo and some snacks. 
If you crochet the little bag a bit smaller and make 23 more, you can also create a wonderful Advent calendar. The bag works up fairly quickly. 
I have explained everything step by step and in great detail in a 7-page PDF file with lots of pictures. This means beginners can also recreate these little bags very well and compare their results. There is also a small crochet school included in the appendix.

There is also a short version without pictures, 2 pages, for printing.

The gift bag is approximately 17.0 cm wide and 18.0 cm tall.

• Catania by Schachenmayr 125m/ 50g, 2 colors, about 55 g total
• Crochet hook 3.0 mm (or as desired)
