The weekend is time to relax!
To really enjoy your coffee get-together, be sure to have a great table setting.
How about these placemats for coffee lovers ?



These chic pieces are crocheted using the mini C2C technique, which is described in great detail in the pattern.
For those who already know the technique, there’s a short version that includes only the chart and the written sequence of the squares.

So grab your crochet hook, yarn, and a cup of coffee, and get started! :) 

We’ve all been there, right? One minute you’re lying on the beach in the sun, and the next—it feels like—the Christmas tree is already up in the living room.

You’ll need: -
Yarn (e.g. cotton, 125 m/50 g) -

small bell - Safety eyes

Every baby needs warm feet now. It’s best to get the pattern right away and use up lots of leftovers with it. These little shoes also make a sweet gift for a birth, or just because.

The pieces of jewelry are quick to crochet and super comfortable to wear.

With this pattern, you can start decorating your home for fall. The decorative garlands are very easy to make and perfect for a weekend project.



The garlands are each about 80 cm long, but you can easily shorten or extend their number and length to fit any window or other surface. The leaves are cut out of photo cardstock and strung onto Perlon thread.

Summer is saying goodbye... High time to start on your fall decorations!

You can definitely make these sweet autumn flower children in one weekend! They are about 12 cm tall and make a wonderful eye-catcher on your fall-decorated seasonal table. You don't need to buy extra yarn for them, because you can crochet them using just a few leftover cotton yarn scraps you already have. I recommend mercerized cotton with a yardage of about 125m/50g for a 2.5 mm hook (such as Catania by Schachenmayr). You'll also need a little wire and craft stuffing. You can find more details in the product text of the respective pattern.
Just click on the corresponding image and you'll be there:

   

Pumpkin Girl, Fly Agaric Siblings, Chestnut Child—which pattern will you choose? Maybe all 3? That will definitely be lots of fun!

Here, 2 techniques come together CREATIVELY—and harmonize beautifully:
Tartan + Tapestry

Who says the tartan technique only shines in knitted fashion? — Not at all.
Crocheted pieces can also be wonderfully jazzed up!

The construction looks sophisticated, yet is so easy to make that even beginners will enjoy it!

A detailed step-by-step explanation guides you through the crochet pattern.
For clarity, the pattern includes 1 crochet chart .
In addition, a cutting template with an integrated diagram helps you through the crochet process.

The tartan technique is also described in detail and illustrated (16 images).
The tapestry technique is explained separately as well.

The scarf, when rolled out, has a size of about 34 x 105 cm.
However, it can be made smaller or larger as needed without much effort.
The included template and the gauge help with that!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

 

Are you looking for a small project for in between?
These fingerless mitts are perfect for that!

It also includes a knitting chart to help you work through the pattern repeat.

Also a lovely project for beginners who want to expand their skills!

Perfect, too, if you want to shrink your leftover yarn stash!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

 

"Peek-a-Boo" roughly translates as "peekaboo"
A lovely name for this style!

This sleeveless vest is held closed by a button, which also stabilizes the collar.
In the right quality, it can be worn all year round—and instantly spices up any boring outfit!
The "pearls" of the pattern used look as if they were wrapped.
This effect is created because the stitch groups are worked over two stitches
- simple, but not boring.

Once you've crocheted the pattern repeat, you'll get the hang of it -
even beginners will enjoy this pattern!

A detailed step-by-step explanation guides you through the crochet process.
For clarity, both a written-out pattern repeat,
and a chart in crochet chart form can be found in the pattern.
