St. Nicholas Day 2018: Would you like to make some crafts for the occasion?

Dear users, dear authors,
here you’ll find patterns for St. Nicholas Day, Advent and Christmas.
Get started right away—it’s fun!

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget to include a link, an image, and the usual information.

These little bags are perfect for St. Nicholas Day. You can crochet them in any size you like and then fill them with small St. Nicholas gifts. The bags can be reused every year.

They’re crocheted using colorful sock yarn and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. I used “Christmas Wonderland” by Woll Butt, which is interwoven with a fine gold thread. The pattern emerges naturally. Depending on the size of the bag, you’ll need 50–100 g of sock yarn.
You can use leftover yarn for the appliqués.

This St. Nicholas figure is a very special decoration because, after the Christmas season, you don’t have to store it away in the attic for a whole year! You can actually use it again at Easter!
Just turn it inside out: ... and just like that, you’ve got a cute Easter bunny!



This reversible doll isn’t hard to crochet and never fails to amaze! You’ll need cotton yarn in red, skin-tone, green, and brown, plus some white fluffy yarn (though you can also use another type of white yarn). You’ll also need a 2.5 mm crochet hook, craft stuffing, and—for the bunny’s eyes—I used black glass beads to sew on; but you can also embroider the eyes.

You can download the pattern here!

This table runner is guaranteed to be finished by St. Nicholas Day. The striking pattern practically crochets itself. It’s also well suited for beginners.

You’ll only need a small amount of yarn (medium-weight cotton), and you’re ready to go.

More Christmas doilies can be found in my shop.
