Dear users, dear authors,
Christmas is over, but for all you busy little helpers there are plenty of occasions to make handmade items for.
How about warm winter clothing, chic and comfortable clothing for spring, or some spring decorations, colorful patterns for Shrovetide / Fasnacht / Carnival, or even cheerful patterns for Easter? The Easter bunnies and Easter chicks in the shop are already looking forward to seeing you. Of course, we have flowers, too.
Get started.

@Authors,
no quantity limit here in this thread. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

The “Spring Magic” scarf is versatile and can also be worn as a cowl.
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/25317/gestrickter-doppelloop-oder-schal-fruehlingszauber

You only need 2 x 100 g of sock-weight yarn; I knitted it with Baby Merino and Fine Merino Socks.
The stitch patterns are varied and suitable for beginners too.
They are explained in detail, some also with charts.



Nice and cozy yet cheerfully colorful is my “Spring Glow,” made with 2 x 100 g of sock-weight yarn.
The triangular shawl consists of various simple stitch patterns that are described in detail and partly also shown in charts.
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/36889/gestricktes-dreieckstuch-fruehlingsleuchten

You need 200 g of yarn with a yardage of approx. 400 m per 100 g and a 3.0 mm circular needle.
The finished shawl measures 196 cm x 68 cm.

"Witches' Night" is the name of this beautiful triangular shawl.
I kept the basic pattern relatively simple again, but the
edging is very elegant, shows up beautifully, and catches the eye right away.

The shawl can be made as large as you like; everything is explained in detail in the pattern.

You can follow a written crochet pattern, or work from a crochet chart .






Click here and you’ll go directly to the pattern:


The amount of material needed depends on the hook size and yarn weight and on whether you work more tightly or more loosely.
Amount used in the example here:
  • Red shawl = approx. 1150 m – A 3-ply gradient cake from Sauerbobbels was used (1.90 m x 0.65 m)
  • Petrol shawl = approx. 1100 m- 1200 m - A 4-ply gradient cake was used (50% PA/50% cotton) 2.00 m x 0.75 m
  • Crochet hook suitable for the yarn (here size 3.5)

How about this simple couple!
It’s a wonderful gift for Valentine’s Day, for a wedding, or simply as a decoration idea! To crochet the little dolls, you’ll need cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m/50 g!

The figures are crocheted using only single crochet stitches, so they’re also great for beginners!

Little Sheep Egg Cozy Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern 

What you’ll need:
  • approx. 15g of yarn (it’s best to use 100% cotton yarn, as this makes the egg cozies nice and sturdy. Of course, you can also use any other yarn) in white or brown, suitable for a 3mm crochet hook. Leftover yarn in green.
  • A darning needle and scissors
  • Some stuffing for the head
  • 3mm crochet hook.
  • Googly eyes and superglue
To give the sheep a better fleece look, I crochet with “crochet bobbles”. I explain these at the beginning of the pattern and illustrate everything with pictures. That way, you’ll understand this technique very quickly ;-). All the remaining steps are also illustrated and explained with plenty of pictures. Difficulty level: medium, so you should already have some crochet experience ;-) and not choose the sheep as your very first crochet project. The sheep egg cozies are a super cute eye-catcher on any breakfast table! They also make ideal gifts ;-)

Mini Sheep Keychain
Click here

These adorable mini sheep measure about 7 cm and are perfect as keychains, bag charms, or decorations. You can crochet them in any color, so each sheep becomes a one-of-a-kind creation! To create a better woolly texture, the sheep are crocheted with bobbles. I explain these in detail at the beginning of the pattern so you can crochet the body quickly. These mini keychains are perfect for gifting, especially now at Easter :-)! You should know how to:
  • Single crochet increases and decreases
  • Single crochet
  • How to make a magic ring
  • In general, these mini sheep should not be your first amigurumi project
This 17-page illustrated crochet pattern explains everything step by step. I also won’t leave you on your own when it comes to sewing the individual parts together ;-) What you’ll need:
  • A 2mm crochet hook
  • Scraps of yarn (approx. 6–7 g) in the color you want your sheep to be (white, cream, beige, brown, black...). This yarn must be suitable for a 2 mm crochet hook
  • Googly eyes and superglue
  • Stuffing
  • A darning needle and scissors
  • A small key ring (1.5 cm in diameter) or a thin piece of string to hang the little sheep up at the end

If Valentine’s Day is a welcome occasion for you to decorate and you’re looking for new and unusual decorating ideas, I’d like to introduce this decorative heart to you.



The heart is made of cardstock and measures approximately 21 x 22 x 4 cm. It’s not difficult to make, but you should already be comfortable using a craft knife.

This pink-and-white tunic with a heart-shaped lace pattern really brings out that spring feeling. It’s knitted to flatter the figure and, thanks to its great fit and extra stretch, fits sizes 38–42.

In the spring, it pairs perfectly with a shirt or bodysuit underneath, and in the summer, the tunic makes for a breezy top.

Difficulty level: medium

This vest is different because it has vertical stripes that make you look slimmer and taller. It’s easy to knit, and everything is explained well, including the stripes. Experienced beginners should be able to manage the pattern well.

The measurements refer to size 40/42.

The Christmas decorations will soon be put away, but it’s still the depths of winter... too early for spring decorations! The Snowflake Winter Children are just right for that:

These little dolls are about 12 cm tall. Thanks to a built-in wire, their arms and legs can be positioned however you like.
They’re quick to crochet using scraps of cotton, glitter, and fluffy yarn, and will soon be adorning your living space.
You can find more details about the materials and the pattern here!

Would you rather crochet something springlike already because you’re already tired of winter?
The first signs of spring are pussy willows. 
 
You can crochet such a sweet flower child in no time. Like the little snowflakes, it has movable arms and legs and will be about 12–15 cm tall.
This way to the pattern!
By the way, you can find even more flower children to crochet here!

Colorful Easter Eggs - this is something small and lovely for Easter. The simple Bruges lace crochet technique creates beautiful
spring freshness. An excellent window / door decoration for Easter or
also a small gift!
The Easter egg measures approx. 7 x 9 cm plus a loop of approx. 7 cm. Only a small amount of yarn is needed to make one Easter egg, so
these can be crocheted from leftover yarn. An ideal way to use up yarn scraps! :-)

February 14 is Valentine’s Day. And so Valentin gives his girlfriend Valentina a red heart to show her his love. And she? She thanks him with a big kiss.

Valentin and Valentina, the two cute bears, are each 19 cm tall when made using the specified materials.
The pattern includes step-by-step photos to make recreating them easier.
I recommend using cotton yarn to make the two of them, as it gives a lovely stitch definition and is ideal for stuffed animals because it is easy to care for.

You’ll need the following materials:
100 g of white cotton yarn (Valentina), 100 g of brown cotton yarn (Valentin), scraps of cotton yarn in red, light green, yellow, orange, and black; black size 10 thread (for embroidering the mouth);
a pair of 9 mm safety eyes in brown and blue; a size 3 crochet hook; stuffing; and scissors

Are you already looking for something for spring?



Crochet baskets can be used in many areas.

This pattern is 10 pages long, and if you have practice with single crochet and double crochet, it will be easy for you. The shell pattern is explained in detail with pictures.

My baskets are between 20 and 23 cm in size, since I used different yarns.

Depending on the yarn, you will need approx. 50–100 g of yarn (depending on the height of the basket). Also ideal for leftover yarn of any kind.

You can find the pattern here

The best part of Fasching is probably dressing up: slipping into a different role for a moment is fun and sometimes brings out unexpected acting talent. If you don’t have enough time to put together a full costume, this fox mask is a very quick alternative - just find the right size, print out the mask, cut it out, attach an elastic cord – and you’re done!  



If you happen to have an item or two of clothing in orange - whether it’s a dress, a sweater, or even just a pair of wrist warmers - you can combine it with black and/or white to create a stylish fox outfit.
