Tapestry is a technique that takes a little practice, but it’s a wonderful way to crochet multicolored patterns. These two pot holders are also crocheted using the tapestry technique, which makes them nice and sturdy. The 10-page pattern describes this technique in detail. Here you’ll find a chart, as well as a table in which each row is described stitch by stitch.
The project is crocheted using Catania by Schachenmayr (125 m/50 g) in the colors white, silver, black, soft apricot, and orange.

Crochet experience is helpful for this unusual hat-and-Möbius combo:

Crochet Beanie 'Tabata' & Möbius scarf collar/loop (m/f)




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This crochet set (m/f) in fashionable gray  consists of a beanie and a Möbius scarf collar/loop.

The PDF pattern is written for head circumference 52  cm – 60 cm and includes both – hat and loop (loop in one size).

It is illustrated, but requires general crochet knowledge (chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet, crocheting in rounds, slip stitches, increases and decreases). The special stitches are illustrated and described. Difficulty level: “medium.”

For the hat, 150 g are required, and for the loop, 100 g of a yarn with 50 g – 75 m yardage. Unlike the hook size on the label, this pattern is crocheted with hook sizes 8.0 and 10.0.

A very beautiful loop scarf with a special pattern that
requires some knitting experience!

Using two contrasting colors creates this very attractive pattern,
which is well described in the pattern—including pictures.

You’ll need 50 grams of each color and a circular needle.

Knitting this is so much fun that you’ll definitely want to try other color combinations as
well.

Dear beginners, I have nothing against you, and you can also find plenty of beginner patterns from me, but please look away for a moment. This scarf is for people with a lot of experience.
For knitting experts, I have a pattern here that is worked in the double-knitting technique. Very warm and very soft, because it actually consists of two layers that are knitted at the same time. This creates a pattern that is mirrored exactly in color on the reverse side. This pattern is shown in a knitting chart.

Experienced knitters are sure to enjoy a lace shawl too. This one combines two different lace patterns, which are also set off from each other by color. Of course, you can choose whatever colors you like. The shawl is knitted with sock-weight yarn, and the amount needed depends on the desired size.

This Rapunzel-inspired knitted baby hat isn’t for the faint of heart. Rapunzel was the one with the braid, and this hat features one too. But that’s not all—the hat also features two-tone vertical stripes. That definitely takes some skill.

If you’re looking for a little challenge and have some knitting experience, you’ll really enjoy knitting this jacket. It’s just the thing for long winter evenings. And once it’s finished, it’ll keep you nice and cozy.

 
The pattern includes all the steps with plenty of photos. By the way, the raglan is knitted from the bottom up here. Thanks to the stitch pattern, the jacket hugs the body while still being stretchy. This means it fits sizes 38 through 42.

This winter decoration isn’t really complicated—quite the opposite, in fact. However, since it involves a lot of cutting and gluing, the pattern is best suited for experienced crafters.



The hanging decoration consists mainly of two balls made from cardstock, measuring approximately 8 cm and 16 cm, respectively; the total length of the decoration is approximately 60 cm.

Dreamily beautiful, this classic with plenty of room for your Christmas shopping.

A combination of tapestry technique and double stitch (both explained in detail).

Required prior knowledge: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet

The Trena is a knitted hat made from sock yarn that really makes the most of a solid-colored or semi-solid yarn with its ribbing, seed stitch, and cable pattern. The cable isn’t exactly easy to knit and requires a bit of practice. After a while, though, the pattern becomes second nature.

Materials: 100g sock yarn, knitting needles in 2.5 and 3.0mm or the sizes you normally use for sock yarn, scissors, sewing needle, cable needle, stitch markers.
