Dear users, dear authors,

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

Inspired by Caribbean sunsets (or rather, how I imagine them), I created this knitted bag—you can find the pattern in my shop. The bag is knitted from thick cotton yarn—you’ll need two different colors. A simple slipped-stitch pattern creates a great effect.

You can find the pattern here.

Bring the sunshine into your kitchen with a colorful potholder! Got cotton yarn and knitting needles ready? Let's go!

Here is the pattern.

This triangular shawl brings back the sunshine. A detailed crochet chart is included in the pattern. The shawl starts at the tip. Have fun crocheting!

Enjoy sunny days with the “Sunny” shawl.
