Even complete crochet beginners can make these fruity glass coasters!
All you need to crochet them is basic knowledge and a few leftover yarn scraps in matching colors. The best part: You can also use the coasters as glass lids. The hole in the middle fits a straw perfectly. This keeps leaves and insects from falling into your glass when you’re enjoying a cool drink outdoors.
If you crochet the coasters a bit larger (just add a few more rounds) and crochet a loop onto them, you can also use this pattern to make pretty pot holders.

Oops, clicked too soon! Here is the pattern for the coasters!

A lovely project for the Advent season. This baby blanket is easy to crochet. It’s made entirely of double crochet stitches. It also makes a wonderful Christmas gift for your mothers or grandmothers, since the blanket looks great on the sofa as a knee and leg warmer.

Here’s an Advent calendar that you can make quickly and easily, even without much crafting experience.



The calendar is made of cardstock; each star measures approximately 17.5 x 17 x 4.5 cm. The 6.5 x 6.5 x 4.5 cm compartments in the upper stars offer enough space for chocolates, artfully folded gift certificates or bills, small toys, or collectibles.

With these patterns, beginners can quickly and easily enjoy a wonderful sense of achievement, especially when their beloved animals are happy with the finished result, too :-)

Crochet pattern Cat Dream "Fat Catch"


This wonderful cushion doesn’t just invite four-legged friends to dream; decoratively, this "fat catch" is an original eye-catcher in the home and sooooo....... cuddly.

Only chain stitches and single crochet are needed to make it.
I used plush yarn and King Cotton by gründl; with hook sizes 3.5 and 6, the cushion works up pretty quickly.

Cat toy / Joe the Jute Mouse


Crocheted from jute yarn and made only with single crochet, Joe is extremely sturdy.
His stuffing consists of buttons and little bells, which adds an extra sound stimulus during play; I deliberately avoided small parts like eyes
.

The patterns are beginner-friendly and written without abbreviations.

You don’t need years of crafting experience for this Advent calendar either: Since the containers aren’t connected to each other, it’s no big deal if something doesn’t turn out perfectly on one—it’ll work out even better on the next one, and in the end, everything will look beautiful!



The calendar containers are made of cardstock, each measuring about 6 x 11.5 x 7 cm, and are easy to make; however, since there are 24 of them in total, you should get started early enough.
