Patterns for Advanced Crafters: Find Fun Challenges

Dear users, dear authors,
here in this thread there is room for patterns beyond beginner level. Challenges for experienced crafters / advanced crafters are welcome.
Get started now.

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

How about Tunisian crochet, and with several colors too?

A great crochet technique; the potholder is worked in basic stitch and is a real eye-catcher.
In different colors, it’s an original kitchen decoration that’s also practical.


Potholder "Wild-Life"


The pattern includes 2 charts, for the brown and the pink potholder.

In addition to the Tunisian basic stitch (there is a practice section for it in the pattern), you will also crochet chains, single crochet stitches, and half double crochet stitches.

If you already have some crafting experience and a bit of technical know-how, you’ll have no trouble recreating this Jumping Jack Owl.


 
The owl is made of cardstock and measures approximately 22.5 x 27.5 cm. Detailed craft instructions, precise templates, and assembly diagrams will help you recreate it.

a beautiful mesh-pattern pullover 

This lovely model with 3/4 sleeves can be made in sizes 38-44,
it is knitted from slightly shiny cotton with size 3.5 needles,
and of course it will become a wonderful one-of-a-kind piece in your favorite color.

The pattern for it is written very clearly and is also
provided with pictures.

This eye-catcher is not only a triangular shawl, but also a poncho at the same time—just as you like.

The knitting is fun and never gets boring. The thin, lightweight cotton is also easy to work with in summer. All steps are well described in the pattern and supplemented with photos. 

However, I would recommend it only for advanced knitters.

Click here for the knitting pattern for the raglan cardigan with pockets



This cardigan has a wonderfully figure-hugging fit. Thanks to the stretchy pattern, it fits sizes 38 to 44. The cardigan is knitted with raglan shaping from the bottom up. The pockets are worked in directly and only need to be sewn down on one side.

All steps are explained and described in detail, also with photos. However, recommended only for advanced knitters.

Here you can get ready for fall and winter now.

Click here for the knitting pattern for the children’s jacket with pockets and a hood 



This colorful children’s jacket is just the thing for kids playing outside in the fall and winter (sizes 92 to 104). It’s cozy and warm, comfortable, and features pockets and a hood.

The jacket is knitted as a top-down raglan. The pockets are knitted right into the body of the jacket and only need to be sewn on from the inside on one side.

The pattern describes all steps in detail and includes photos. Recommended for advanced knitters.

It’s best to get prepared now so your child can wear the jacket in the fall. Plus, merino wool is on sale everywhere right now.

Elfenreigen is a great summer scarf/shawl.

The lace pattern spans 12 rows and requires a bit of concentration. It’s not particularly difficult, but it’s not something you can do while watching TV. The pattern is explained row by row. A chart is also included for those who prefer to knit from a chart.
You need 100g of lace yarn with a yardage of 800m. If you have more, it can easily be made larger.

For knitters who have at least a little experience with lace patterns, this lightweight lace hat is a great choice. An unusual lace pattern where you have to think a bit outside the box, because not all rounds have the same number of stitches. It is knitted with sock-weight yarn.

Here’s the pattern.

For the true experts among you, here’s another special treat: a double-knit scarf. The different motifs are shown in knitting charts. You should be familiar with the technique. When I say experts, I really mean experts.

You can find the pattern here.

The “Romantic Dream” summer scarf is no walk in the park. The pattern requires concentration, but there is a crochet chart available… The result, however, is well worth the effort.

Here’s the pattern.


Ayana Half-Moon Shawl—Beat Boredom While Crocheting!



-- to the pattern --

The Ayana shawl is crocheted from just over 150g of sock yarn and keeps crochet interesting—every row has a different pattern!

As always, the pattern is written in detail and includes many photos, a written description of each individual row, and a computer-generated crochet chart for those who prefer to work from one.
