Here is my contribution to this wonderful color campaign → crochet pattern Shirt "Sea of Flowers" is not only perfect for hot summer days—it is also crocheted in no time.

Required materials:

• for size 36/38, a 4-ply plied gradient yarn with a total yardage of approx. 700 m was used here. For each additional size
  I recommend planning for 100 m - 150 m more yarn. (Yarn consumption is
  of course dependent on width and length)
• any crochet hook that matches the yarn - here size 3



Here is my contribution from the 2017 color campaign; for this campaign, the specified colors were white, turquoise, and gray.

Whether in a dirndl look, as a simple tunic or as a dress, with this pattern you have lots of design options. It can be made in all sizes. Thanks to adjustable straps,
a good fit is ensured even after repeated washing.

Materials needed:

• For women’s size 38, I used approx. 1300 m of 4-ply yarn (so plan accordingly more for larger sizes)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn (sizes 3 + 3.5 were used here)
• possibly 4 buttons, 12 mm - 15 mm

And here is the post for the color challenge from January 2018; the specified colors were white, mint, and light gray.

You can easily make the tunic “Jade Pearl” yourself.
Whether with long sleeves for colder days, with 3/4 sleeves for spring/summer—
or as a dress, it’s up to you, and you can customize it individually to your
wishes.

With this pattern, you can make it in any size and length you like and use any yarn and hook size; the method is explained in detail.



Click here and you’ll go directly to the pattern:

Required materials (example size 36/38 ):

• 1700 m of 4-ply gradient yarn (50% cotton, 50% polyacrylic), No. 161 from Woll-Archiv MJ was used here. For each additional size, I recommend planning for approx. 300 m more yarn. (size 40–size 44 =
  approx. 2000 m, size 46/48 = approx. 2300 m, size 50/52 = approx. 2600 m ….. )
• Crochet hooks size 3.5 + size 4
• possibly beads for decoration

My contribution to this year’s color campaign is the
Beauty Cosmetic Set 




The set is crocheted from Lieblingsfarben No.2 by myboshi and feels pleasant on the skin thanks to the kapok content.

The cosmetic pads with holding loop are perfect for cleansing and caring for facial skin. Unlike conventional cotton pads, these can be used again and again—even in the shower!

The pads can always be kept close at hand in the pretty reversible basket, and when you’re on the go, the travel net keeps everything neatly together. The net can also be used as a laundry bag so that no pad gets lost in the washing machine.

As always, the pattern is written in a beginner-friendly way without abbreviations, so have fun shopping :-)

This set combines different techniques that complement each other well.

Here the question isn’t whether to knit or crochet, but “what should I start with first?”.

My contribution to the color challenge is my “Silk Dream”:
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/37788/gestricktes-dreieckstuch-seidentraeumchen

A dream in pink and white, it features different stitch patterns that are explained in detail.
You’ll need 200g of yarn with a length of 350m per 100g.

This is my contribution to the current color campaign Summer-2018
 

 
When I saw the selected colors, I thought of a lushly blooming shrub, and that is exactly the image I tried to capture in my flower ball. The ball the flowers are attached to consists of an openwork base shape - this gives the ball its lightness on the one hand, and on the other, the ball behind the flowers is reminiscent of foliage, which also always allows a certain amount of transparency. And the base shape is designed so that you do not have to think too much while gluing, because everything comes together all by itself.

So if you have some crafting experience and a little time and patience, you will be able to make this ball without any problems.

The ball is made of photo cardstock and is approx. 18 cm in diameter.

And another soul warmer, and another soul warmer, and another one...
... absolutely clear—you can never have enough of them!

What’s interesting about this shrug is the combination of the two patterns:
a delicate lace flower pattern contrasts with the sturdy woven pattern.
This variety is simply fun and looks excellent on top of that.
The edging is worked with a relief pattern, which is simple—yet very effective.

The shape of the soul warmer works entirely without decreases or increases...

You can use this cool and modern bag for many occasions -
whether for your daily shopping, as a beach bag, as an everyday companion, or as a shopper, this chic mesh bag is always an eye-catcher.

Of course, you can mix and match the motifs and strap options, e.g., make a bag with a heart motif and long straps, or the bag with the word "Love" as a shopping net with short handles.

Go to the pattern here

I made this gift bag for the Spring 2018 color challenge. The specified colors were light gray, mint, and natural—a perfect color combination for anyone who prefers softer shades.
 


The bag is made of cardstock and measures approximately 18 x 14 x 7.5 cm. It’s very easy to make and well-suited for beginners to recreate.

Summer is here! And we’re getting cozy on the patio, balcony, or in the garden—with the “Summertime” pillows



As a contribution to the Crazypatterns summer color event Summer 2018, I have these pretty and super cozy pillow covers with a delicate textured pattern for you.

The pattern explains step by step, with the help of lots of photos and a supporting crochet chart, how you can crochet these pretty pillow covers yourself, making it easy to follow even for crochet beginners.

To make each pillow cover, you’ll need:

approx. 400 g cotton yarn

size 5.0 mm crochet hook

3 white buttons, approx. 20 mm diameter

1 pillow insert in the right size (e.g., 40 x 40 cm)

and some white sewing thread / twine for sewing on the buttons

Bring summer into your home, too, and crochet yourself a set of “Summertime” pillow covers. You can find the pattern and more info here >>>

And here I’d like to share my entry for the Crazypatterns color challenge from Summer 2017 —the little baby shoes “Summer Breeze”



With their extra-soft sole and delicate little flowers, these little shoes are ideal for tiny feet on slightly cooler summer days.

If you find the little flower too feminine, just leave it out—and you’ll end up with a sporty little casual shoe!



The pattern is detailed , includes numerous illustrations , and features an additional crochet chart for the sole , making it easy to follow even for confident crochet beginners.

And since you only need about 20–30g of yarn for these little shoes, they’re a wonderful way to use up “medium-sized” leftover yarn —maybe you even have some suitable yarn left over from your last baby crochet project! :-)

So why not grab your scrap box right now and pick out a nice summer yarn? You can find the pattern here in my shop >>>

This colorful stick rattle was created as part of the current Summer 2018 Color Challenge . In white, pink, rose, and apple green, Pippa the clown is a true little girl’s dream, but she can also be crocheted in other colors, making her a suitable newborn gift for boys as well.

Click here for the pattern   

I used a cotton yarn with a length of 125 m/50 g. You’ll also need safety eyes (7.5 mm) and a bell inside the ball (25 mm), as well as stuffing and a size 3 crochet hook.

This rattle is also perfect for using up leftover yarn —maybe you’ve already crocheted a design from the color challenge and still have some yarn left over?

Have fun crocheting!
