Friday, end of work, weekend: Download a project now

Dear users, dear authors,
you’re surely looking for a new weekend project, right?
Check out our highlights now.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget to include a link, an image, and the usual information.

How about a knitting pattern for a cozy, warm scarf?



It was knitted with Rowan Super Fine Merino 4ply yarn with a yardage of 165 m / 50 g. I used 300 g with a 4 mm circular knitting needle to achieve a finished length of 166 cm (short side) / 220 cm (long side) and a width of 26 cm.

The pattern is knitted using only knit and purl stitches, and the pattern repeat is easy to remember. Of course, the scarf can also be knitted with another yarn of your choice. Making it wider or longer is no problem either. The pattern explains exactly how to increase from the tip outward.

This takes you straight to the pattern.

A great project for the weekend is a loop scarf.



Quick to knit with 1–2 skeins of yarn, you can finish a loop like this in just one weekend.

  This pattern explains how to make a snug loop—worn like a collar—as a simple loop or a double-wrapped loop, complete with stitch counts and yarn requirements.

Plenty of photos illustrate how to knit the pattern. Instructions are provided both in a knitting chart and in written row-by-row directions.

  For the weekend, I recommend:

heating pad covers!

It’s still cold out, so it’s a good idea to crochet something that keeps you warm and looks cute, too!

Here are two options:
Hippo



Koala

Both patterns are described in detail and include pictures. At the end of each, you’ll find a short version to print out. Materials needed:

Cotton yarn (Catania by Schachenmayr, 50g~125m) (You’ll find the amount, color, and other materials in the item description.)

Skills required:

Magic ring, single crochet, crocheting in spiral rounds (More info in the item description)

It's cold and wintry outside and you don't feel like going out to buy yarn? Then make something with the leftover yarn you already have, e.g. these chicken and rooster egg cozies!


They are easy and quick to crochet. You can make the rooster especially nice and colorful with any colors you like; white or brown works well for the hen. The egg cozies are an eye-catcher on the breakfast table not only at Easter, but all year round!

It gets even more colorful with the spring blossoms egg cozies. Tulip, daffodil, bellflower, and snowdrop keep your eggs warm and bring spring to the table!
Or would you prefer a typical Easter decoration?


Then this Easter bunny pair egg cozy set is definitely just right for you!

All the egg cozies can be crocheted in a short time using just a few bits of leftover yarn. I used Catania cotton (125 m/50 g) for all of them.
Maybe you'll feel like crocheting them all? Then you'll have a cheerful, colorful decoration for Easter breakfast!

A relaxing knitting project is this stole, which is knitted with sock-weight yarn. You can make it in any length and width you like—so basically, you can also use the pattern for a scarf. The pattern is beginner-friendly and consists only of knit and purl stitches.

Here’s the pattern.

If you want to get mentally ready for spring, you can do so with a crocheted lace shawl. It’s a lovely project where you can make good progress in just one weekend. The pattern is explained in writing and also illustrated in a crochet chart.

You can find the pattern here.
