Weekend projects: Get started now.

Dear users, dear designers,
how about a few last-minute patterns for Advent or St. Nicholas Day using leftover yarn? Or maybe a few Christmas gifts or warm winter clothing instead? Of course, we also have bestsellers and new arrivals. Shop now.
Have a lovely weekend and lots of fun crafting.

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

Isn't this a sweet llama? My granddaughter is actually a total horse fan, but ever since she got Pamina the alpaca lady, she drags her everywhere. But she really is sooo cuddly soft and has such a trusting look! You simply have to crochet her too; it will make a fantastic Christmas gift for cuddle fans!
Pamina is crocheted from teddy yarn (Phil Douce by Phildar). In the pattern, you'll get lots of tips on how to crochet with this yarn. For the muzzle, hooves, and ears I used thin chenille yarn (Katja Velvet Fine), and for the saddle, colorful leftover Catania cotton.
Pamina is not hard to crochet. She is crocheted entirely with single crochet stitches, and there are only a few increases and decreases.
Here is the pattern!

The door wreath with the little moose is an absolute last-minute project, because you can easily crochet it in one afternoon.
You'll need a 12 cm diameter Styrofoam wreath (available at craft stores), a bit of stuffing, and a few colorful leftover yarn scraps. For the wreath, I used sock yarn in Christmas colors; for the moose, Catania cotton from Schachemayr.

Do you need a little St. Nicholas gift box? You might like this one, and a few hours over the weekend are enough to make it. 


 
The St. Nicholas shoe is made of cardstock and measures approx. 20.5 x 11 x 8.5 cm. With a little crafting experience, it can be made quickly and easily.

Paulina, the mini doll, uses very little yarn and is quick to crochet.

The Ice Princess’s Coat

A little knitting project for the weekend: the Ice Princess’s coat. It doesn’t require much material or advanced crafting skills. We simply knit and purl stitches in rows. As a result, you’ll soon have an enchanting little coat for your daughters’ or granddaughters’ dolls. Maybe also as a St. Nicholas Day or Christmas gift ... my granddaughter is getting this exact one in the picture. I know she is a big fan of Elsa, so I designed it for her and the other little girls. Anyone who has young children or grandchildren will surely know who is meant by "Elsa".

You’ll find more information by clicking on the heading.

I hope you enjoy this knitting project. Yours, Ina

Princess Dress

I also have a lovely weekend recommendation for crochet enthusiasts: a long crocheted doll dress. You can make it from thin yarn scraps that you’re sure to find in your scrap basket. You can choose any colors you like—the dress looks great in any combination. It fastens at the back with snaps, so it always fits perfectly.

You’ll find all the details and more example photos by clicking on the headline.

Round Colorful Rug

You probably won’t finish this rug in one weekend. But if you’re not in the mood for complicated crafts and also have a well-stocked box of leftover yarn, you’ll definitely enjoy this project. You can use all the yarns you have. Just dig everything out, add a size 6 crochet hook, and you’re ready to get started. Round by round, this rug becomes more fun because each new color changes the rug’s color effect. It even gets a little addictive. In every round, you’re already looking forward to the next one.

Of course, the rug will be made non-slip on the back at the end, and I include the source for my secret product for that. You can put it in the kids’ room, the hallway, the bathroom ...

Everything else as always, when you click on the heading.

I wish you a lovely, relaxing weekend - yours, Ina

I just wanted to quickly remind you about this St. Nicholas card: Maybe you’ll find the time and inclination this weekend to make it yourself.



The card is made from cardstock and construction paper and measures approximately 21 x 10.5 cm. Although there are many small details, the card is still quick to make. Anyone who already has some experience with pop-up cards will be able to recreate this one with ease.

The decorations / coasters "Little Snowflakes"

With a diameter of approx. 10 cm, they are very well suited for the Christmas season and create a cozy atmosphere. They can be used beautifully on the festive table as coasters for candle holders or as door and window decorations, and of course as Christmas tree ornaments. Not much yarn is needed to make one snowflake, so they can be crocheted from yarn scraps. A lovely way to use up leftovers!
