Preparing for Spring

Dear users, dear authors,
are you already looking forward to spring? Start making spring patterns right away.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual info.

Oh, how lovely it will be when the days get longer again and the sun starts warming us again! When you can sit outside again and watch the first swallows in their acrobatic flights. And when you can wrap yourself in a light shawl again, and that is completely enough to keep from getting cold.
I have something for you: This shawl is crocheted from sock yarn and for that reason alone is already a lightweight. The enchanting lace pattern can be repeated as often as you like - for a small little shawl or a large shawl. It is then finished with a playful ruffled border.

Bracelets also look much better when you’re no longer bundled up in winter clothes from head to toe.

Why not knit one for yourself?



It’s a breeze to make using small scraps of cotton yarn and is guaranteed to earn you admiring glances this spring.

We haven’t had much snow yet this year, so the first snowdrops are sure to start peeking out of the ground soon. If you just can’t wait for spring to arrive, why not crochet your own spring flowers? The Flower Children Snowdrops and Bellflower will help pass the time and bring a touch of spring into your home right now! Each Flower Child holds its flower in its hand and wears one blossom on its head. Get the pattern now and you can get started right away!

As soon as it gets a little warmer, this pretty poncho shawl with a lace pattern and waves is a real eye-catcher. I’ve often been asked where I bought it.

In the spring, we’re happy when we no longer need thick jackets. A poncho-style shawl like this is simply draped over the shoulders and still keeps you warm.

It’s best to start knitting it now so it’ll be ready for your Easter walk.

Difficulty level: medium—some knitting experience is recommended.
The pattern is well explained and includes a chart.

The BOBBEL-LIENCHEN triangular shawl is crocheted horizontally and consists of just three types of stitches. Nevertheless, it has an interesting pattern that really stands out with color gradients. All you need to crochet it is a bobble skein with a length of 750 m.
