  To the pattern

With any leftover yarn, you can let your color creations run free,

Because of the knitting technique, you don't need any glue or plastic for stabilization.

It is always a very welcome little gift with the advantage!!!!

Material:
Leftover yarn of any kind, even if it's only 5 g.
Knitting needles size 7
Silk ribbon

Pattern:
PDF format
The pattern is designed so that anyone can knit the basket.
All steps are described in detail and additionally documented with pictures.

Make the most of the cold snap and knit a last-minute project like this:

A poncho - last minute??? Oh yes, I crocheted this poncho in just 1 weekend - with thick yarn, of course:

Crochet pattern for a poncho with Möbius cowl collar (loop) - easy





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Wonderfully quick and easy to crochet...

.. decide while crocheting how
large the poncho should be – you simply stop crocheting when it
looks right or the yarn runs out.

The poncho and Möbius cowl are made with thick gradient yarn, 100 g – 100 m,
and a size 8.0 crochet hook. Yarn required for both pieces approx. 700 g.

The PDF pattern includes the poncho and Möbius cowl and is illustrated, but it is not a crochet course in itself.

These crochet skills are needed:
chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, crocheting in rows, crocheting in rounds.

By the way: with a Möbius cowl, the pattern you make is mirrored,
i.e. one horizontal half looks like a right
outside, and the second half looks like a wrong-side pattern inside.
This creates sophisticated effects, depending on how the cowl is worn
and how the pattern falls.

Glasses case and hiking seat pad from this pattern bundle are an absolute last-minute gift:
