How about a pretty spring shawl in your mother’s favorite color?



The pattern and more information are available here

Mothers are often given things that basically mean all the work ends up falling on them. Vacuum cleaners, immersion blenders, other kitchen appliances, that kind of stuff. I always put on a brave face, but honestly, it doesn’t really make me happy. Of course it’s well meant, but what it really says is something like: "Mom, go vacuum." I’d much rather have something pretty that isn’t connected with work, or something that brings me personal well-being. Daughters and sons, if you’re reading this, think it over!
So my suggestion: A pretty bracelet, perhaps?




Or maybe a bath mitt?



Both are knitted, both are quick to make.

"Hearts" tray crochet patternThe "Hearts" tray (size: 13 cm x 19 cm) is versatile and very practical. It can be used as a tray for your phone, glasses, or notebook; for your crochet supplies, so they always have their own place and are easy to find; or simply to protect the table or your phone from scratches. It is certainly suitable as a small present/gift for a birthday or Mother's Day.
