Spring, Valentine’s Day, Shrovetide / Carnival, and Easter: Get started now.

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 .

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 sweet baby pinafore dress in shades of pink is perfect for spring, but can also be worn in winter with a sweater underneath.

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.

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:

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 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.
