Yellow and Orange: Holding on to the Summer Sun.

Dear users, dear authors,
still summer, the sun is still shining very strongly from the sky at times, but in the mornings it already takes a little longer until it gets light. So how about a few designs in yellow and orange to hold on to the summer sun?
Get started now.

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

Knitted shirt/pullover 'ALGARVE'




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

2-in-1 knitting pattern:
Sleeveless long shirt, great with leggings, and with sleeves, a cotton pullover in a simple lace pattern. Because of the pattern, this results in ONE SIZE for women’s sizes 38–44. Smaller sizes can be worn as “oversized.” Accordingly, weight gain or loss is not a problem.

Material:
300 g (without sleeves) / 550 g (pullover) Austermann Algarve (100% cotton;
50 g – 142 m) for needle size 2.5–3.5; Catania or Limone can also be used;
here: knitting needle 3.5.

The PDF pattern contains the images from the image gallery (see above); due to the simple cut, no additional images are included.

Basic knitting skills are enough; everything else is explained.

Using only 70 g of 6-ply sock yarn - shown here in autumn shades:


Knitting pattern for the ALL-SEASON BEANIE hat made from sock yarn




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

For this feather-light all-season beanie, we need knitting needles in various sizes (the brim with size 3.5 needles, the main part with size 6.0 needles, the decreases with 4.5 and 4.0) and a size 3.0 - 4.0 crochet hook for the decoration. 70 g of 6-ply sock yarn is enough, though one skein is usually 150 g. So you can definitely knit a small loop scarf or even 1 pair of socks up to shoe size 36/37 from the leftover yarn :-)

By the way: you can find a sock-knitting course for 6-ply sock yarn here:

Basic knitting skills (including knitting in the round, knitting stitches together through the back loop) are sufficient.
Crochet skills: chain stitches, slip stitches

One size – easy to knit using just under 50 g of Kid Silk (75% kid mohair, 25% silk, 25 g/225 m yardage).

For knitting beginners, I recommend suitably thin (lace) yarns without mohair.

Tintasola lace scarf - the sun as a scarf!



-- to the pattern --

The Tintasola scarf is an airy lace scarf with an easy-to-remember yet sophisticated-looking pattern. - It only requires chain stitches and double crochet, so it’s also perfect for beginners .
As always, the pattern is richly illustrated and includes a crochet chart for the pattern.

The scarf can easily be varied in length and width, e.g., narrow as a delicate scarf or wide as an airy stole.

What you need:

• 4-ply gradient yarn cake (50% cotton, 50% polyacrylic / approx. 190m/50g)
  • approx. 150g or 570m
• 1 crochet hook size 3.5
• 1 sewing needle/embroidery needle for weaving in the ends

This pretty girls’ sweater with a collar is something a little different and a colorful eye-catcher. It will grow with her for a while, too. At first it can be worn like a little dress/tunic, and later as a regular sweater. It fits sizes 92–104.

This orange-and-yellow market bag captures the vibrant colors of a sunset. It is crocheted (except for the floral border) in the Tunisian simple stitch, which is very easy to learn. The pattern explains this crochet technique step by step. It is very simple and poses no problem even for crochet beginners, especially if they have done a bit of knitting before. You can crochet the bag in any size you like. You do not have to worry about complicated color changes or increases and decreases. This lets you focus entirely on the new crochet technique.

Isn’t this dragon in the fiery colors of red and yellow a great bookmark? You’re sure to impress all fantasy fans and bookworms with it. Of course, you can also crochet it in other colors. Take a look through your leftover yarn to see if you have something suitable at home. I recommend thin cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook.
