@Authors,
2-3 patterns per designer are enough. Don’t forget the link and image.

Spring can come with this chic tunic!

Thanks to the simple cut combined with an easy lace pattern, this top is quick and easy to crochet.

With a long-sleeved shirt underneath, it’s also a great piece for colder days.

The pattern is written for sizes 36/38, 40/42, and 44/46.
But other sizes are no problem either thanks to the simple cut,
how to do it is also explained in the pattern.

Here’s the pattern




The pattern includes text, a crochet chart (basic pattern), and a schematic.

With the crochet pattern for the triangular shawl BOBBEL-LIENCHEN, you can choose a beautiful companion for spring. Worked with gradient yarn, the shawl turns out lovely, airy, and light. Even so, it still keeps your neck nice and warm when the temperatures aren’t quite summery yet.



For crocheting it, just one Bobbel with 750 mm running length is enough. The pattern includes a detailed table with exact stitch counts for each row, photos, and a crochet chart for the most important parts.
