Colorful and Bright Colors // The Popular Monthly Highlight

Dear users, dear authors,
Here’s the popular monthly thread for colorful items, colorful things, and bright colors.
Have fun with it.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns are enough. Don’t forget the link, image, and the usual info.



Crochet pattern for a colorful bag (quick and easy)

Beautifully striped, this is a great bag. Perfect for a quick little shopping trip.
And I think these colors are totally fitting for fall, too. Maybe also nice for little girls to play with. You can never have enough bags, right?
This bag is crocheted in one piece and then sewn together. Then just add the handles and it's already finished. So it's quick and, in the end, also quite sturdy.
You can also sew a water-repellent lining into the bag so the groceries don't get wet.

• Materials list
  
• small crochet school
  
• crochet the basic bag
  
• crochet the handles
  
• sewing together

This bag is crocheted “only” in single crochet stitches, so no complicated techniques. Definitely also well suited for beginners.

This beautiful tunic is crocheted almost in one piece.
It can be adjusted completely individually. And above all, you can crochet it in wonderfully bright colors to escape the gray of everyday winter life a little.

The crochet pattern for this tunic is also suitable for beginners (with a little experience), as it also includes a “small crochet school.”
I have explained everything in great detail and step by step with lots of pictures, so that making it yourself really works without any problems. But I’m also happy to help at any time.

You should be familiar with single crochet, increases and decreases, as well as chain stitches and slip stitches.

Materials needed:

• Crochet with cotton yarn, hook size 3–3 1/2, 170 m/50 g in various colors (a great way to use up leftover yarn)

• Embroidery floss in various colors
• 4 small safety eyes, size 6 mm
• 2 small buttons
• Stuffing, 2 key ring attachments

With this crocheted scarf, dreary fall weather doesn’t stand a chance. If the sun isn’t shining, at least you will shine.

You can find the pattern here.



The scarf is crocheted from sock yarn (you’ll need two 100 g skeins for it). The pattern is a simple mesh pattern with cables in between, which are explained in a photo tutorial. Not difficult at all, and despite the relatively high yarn usage, it also works up fairly quickly.

Colorful yarns are especially well suited for these socks, which are knitted in a slipped-stitch pattern.

You can find the pattern here.



I wouldn’t recommend the pattern for absolute beginners, but you don’t necessarily have to be a pro.

Small leftover bits of sock yarn can be turned into little knitted bags. The more colorful, the better.

Here’s the pattern.



These little bags can then be used, for example, to wrap small gifts. If you can knit in the round, you can knit these little bags too.

You can crochet this diaper bag in every imaginable color and color combination; the one I always carry with me is colorful and bright! :-)

You can make the airplane mobile as colorful and bright as you like. The airplane is quick and easy to crochet. And the colors? Just let yourself be inspired by the leftover yarn you already have!

If you’ve been looking for some very colorful gift packaging, you’ve now found exactly what you were looking for!


 
Since this packaging has an unusual shape, it’s impossible to guess what is hidden inside, and if you place several smaller gifts in it cleverly, it provides pleasant surprises in every corner. The pyramid is made of cardstock, measures approx. 18.5 x 13.5 x 18.5 cm, and is very easy to make.

Crochet Pattern for Fence Owls
Why not crochet around your garden fence using leftover yarn (the more colorful, the better) to create these funny owls that bring a smile to people's faces. Children especially like these original little animals, which can also be used as hand puppets. Also well suited for beginners.

Details & pattern are available here

The pattern is written without abbreviations, and the owls can be adapted to any fence size.
During the Christmas season, they're also very cute with a little Christmas hat :)

Knitted double loop or scarf

“Spring Magic” isn’t just for spring—with its vibrant colors, it brightens up the gloomy autumn days. The scarf, which can also be worn as a loop, consists of various stitch patterns, all explained row by row, some of them also shown as charts.

You’ll need 2 skeins of 100g Merino Baby or comparable yarn with a yardage of approximately 400m per 100g.
The finished scarf is 25 cm wide and 206 cm long.

With this crochet project, you can use up your colorful cotton yarns; leftovers are enough. The length and width of the pencil roll are variable. If you have lots of crochet hooks, you’ll naturally need more compartments. But colored pencils or paintbrushes can also be stored neatly in it and, if needed, taken anywhere—protected by the
flap.
I could also imagine a grandma crocheting this for her grandchild, with the pencil roll then always staying at the grandparents’ house and
being brought out for every visit. I’d guess any child would be happy to
keep things tidy that way. The crochet pattern is suitable for crochet beginners; we only crochet chain stitches and single crochet stitches. I hope you enjoy the pattern and get beautiful results. Yours, Ina

I’d like to share another colorful crochet project with you. These colorful little buckets fit on any desk and are perfect for holding pens and all sorts of odds and ends. All you need are lots of colorful cotton yarn scraps, a size 3 crochet hook, and a small empty plastic bucket from the supermarket (mine held 1000 g of yogurt; it’s 13 cm tall and 13 cm in diameter), and you’re ready to go.

Crocheting these two bucket designs is a breeze and very easy for crochet beginners to follow along with. We’ll be crocheting chain stitches, single crochet stitches,
slip stitches, and double crochet stitches. And don’t
worry about weaving in the ends—I’ll show you my tricks for skipping
that step. I hope you have lots of fun with this colorful project and end up with beautiful results. Best wishes, Ina

Anyone who would like to make something very special for their child or grandchild should consider this bright, cheerful rug made from knitting dolly cords.

An ideal beginner crochet project, it is lots of fun, but does require some diligence and perseverance. We crochet a grid using chain stitches, single crochets, and double crochets. We thread knitting dolly cords into the grid. On 28 illustrated pages, I show you exactly how everything is done. The amount of material needed depends on the
size of your desired rug. Leftovers can also be used very well
because we only need 5 g
of one color per knitting dolly strand. You can choose the size and colors of the rug yourself. You’ll find all further details on the cover page of the pattern. I hope you enjoy making the rug — yours, Ina
