Crochet pattern for a poncho with Möbius shawl collar (loop) - easy




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Advantage: Decide while crocheting how big the poncho should be – you simply stop crocheting whenever it feels right.

Here, the poncho and Möbius scarf are made with thick gradient yarn, 100 g – 100 m, and an 8.0 mm crochet hook. Yarn needed for both pieces: approx. 700 g.

The PDF pattern includes the poncho and Möbius scarf and is illustrated, but it is not a crochet course in itself.

These crochet skills are required:
chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, crocheting in rows, crocheting in rounds.

By the way: with a Möbius scarf, the pattern you create is mirrored, i.e., one horizontal half appears like a right outer side, while the second half appears like a wrong inner pattern side. This creates sophisticated effects, depending on how the scarf is draped and how the pattern falls.

Potholder 'It's so green' - Tunisian crochet



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

As kitchen decor or for actual use as a potholder made from 100% cotton – also a useful little gift that’s quick to crochet for all kinds of occasions.

Both the PDF pattern for the potholder and the pattern for the crocheted flower(s) are illustrated step by step.

General crochet skills are enough; the Tunisian crochet technique is explained with pictures.

Materials:
For 1 standard-size potholder, 21 cm x 21 cm: 50 g light green + 50 g dark green crochet yarn made from 100% cotton/plant fiber for heat resistance, e.g. Schoeller+Stahl Record 210, 50 g - 90 m, according to the label 16 sts x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm), i.e. 50 g per color for the Tunisian crochet hook up to max. size 4.5.

For the flower(s), a leftover bit of cotton yarn is enough, e.g. Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), for crochet hook size 2.5 - 3.5.

Note: heat-resistant cotton yarn (= potholder yarn) is only lightly twisted and is therefore difficult to crochet with, especially for beginners, because the yarn splits a lot. So if heat resistance is not quite so important to you, for example if you won’t place a hot pot on the potholder, you can also crochet it with a cotton-blend yarn, e.g. Pantino by Schoeller+Stahl.

This sweater is finished quickly too:

Knitted Shirt/Sweater 'ALGARVE' - knitting pattern




(Please click the image to purchase/download)

Two in one pattern:
Sleeveless long shirt, ideal for leggings and with sleeves, a cotton sweater knitted in a simple lace pattern . Thanks to the pattern, it works as ONE SIZE for women's sizes 38–44. Smaller sizes can wear it as “oversized.” Weight gain or loss is therefore no problem.

Materials:
300 g (without sleeves) / 550 g (sweater) Austermann Algarve (100% cotton; 50 g – 142 m) for needle size 2.5–3.5; here: knitting needle 3.5, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle, row counter helpful but not absolutely required. Gauge according to the ball band: 27 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

The PDF pattern includes the images from the image gallery (see above); due to the simple cut, no additional images are included.

Basic knitting knowledge is sufficient, including yarn over, knit 2 stitches together, slip 1 stitch, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (explained).
