You can crochet these beautiful stars using just 4 granny triangles each. Get the pattern, grab your scrap yarn box, and by tonight a beautiful star will be adorning your home! Or maybe even two? ;-)

Tip: Even after Christmas, the stars look wonderful as decorations on wreaths or as a garland for kids’ rooms. Stars are great all year round! Maybe in yellow or pink next time?

Dish Sponge Ball with or without a Face plus Dishcloth - Crochet Pattern



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Quick to crochet with the popular dish sponge yarn (washable at 60°C in the dishwasher or washing machine).

Included in the download :

• PDF crochet pattern for a dish sponge ball with an embroidered face (diameter approx. 7 cm)
• PDF crochet pattern for a dishcloth (size: approx. 20 cm x 20 cm)

Both patterns include a short version and a detailed, illustrated pattern, as well as crochet basics with all stitches used.

The embroidered little face gives the dish sponge ball a fun touch. If the ball is pushed outward
(unfilled), it is a smiling dish sponge; pushed inward, it is a “Halloween face.” If left without a “face,” the ball also looks lovely as a Christmas ornament .

Materials for 1 dishcloth + 1 dish sponge ball:
Rico Creative Bubble, 100% polyester (50 g – 100 m, washable at 60 °C in the dishwasher),
e.g., 50 g color 007 Light Blue + 50 g (or leftover yarn) col. 012 Black,
crochet hook 4.0; scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends.

Advent, which is often called the contemplative season, is also often a very hectic time for many people. All the better when you can really relax on the weekend. With a simple crocheted infinity scarf, you can forget the hustle and bustle.
It is crocheted from yarn with a yardage of 88 m per 25 g. The pattern is simple—not necessarily for beginners, but if you know double crochet and chain stitches, it should work out.

You can find the pattern here.

A lovely weekend project that can actually be completed in just one weekend using thick yarn is this crocheted fringed scarf. What makes it special is that the fringes are attached to the sides rather than the ends. Very fashionable!
This pattern is also suitable for beginners—the scarf is basically made entirely of double crochet stitches.
