Accessories for your (European Championship) barbecue party!

Let’s start with DIY coasters made from Filzwolle uni. You can easily make them in the colors of your favorite team or national flag. These colorful accessories not only bring football spirit to the table, they are also super practical and quick to make.

Of course, you can also design your DIY coasters for glasses, bottles, and pots to match any other theme. There is something for everyone here. From fruit-shaped coasters to delicate coasters made from crochet yarn - you are sure to find the right designs in our free patterns.

The seat cushions are also a highlight - they not only provide comfort, but also bring good mood to the group with their bright colors. Made from high-quality Gründl Filzwolle uni, you can design them in the colors of your choice. The great thing: you can also take the seat cushion perfectly to the stadium.

We think garden decoration should not only look beautiful, but also be cozy. Especially when family and dear friends come to visit, you want them to feel comfortable and truly relax. Something that is not only extremely comfortable, but also brings plenty of good mood through great colors, is the granny square cushion made from Gründl cotton yarn Cotton Quick Batik. It is crocheted in one piece, then folded and the edges are crocheted together. In the free cushion pattern, you will find all important information on material requirements and needle size, as well as a detailed schematic and crochet chart.

The foundation of any table decoration is a tablecloth or a table runner. We especially love the second option for a garden party, because it creates a carefree charm with a colorful accent in the middle of the table. One DIY table runner we really like is our crocheted table runner made from Gründl Filzwolle uni. Its round shapes adapt uniquely to the organic forms of nature and create a wonderful composition with plenty of comfort. Of course, this table runner can be crocheted to match your color concept. Simply grab the balls in the shades of your choice - the color palette of Gründl Filzwolle uni is varied. Then crochet the individual shapes according to the pattern and felt them in the washing machine. Once they are dry, the shapes are sewn together. It is best to use the table shape as a guide, and you will have an individual table runner that could not fit better.

To make every single seat feel inviting, we can also warmly recommend our felted placemats. Their felted feel instantly upgrades any garden table. Simply knit rectangles from your favorite colors of Gründl Gründl Filzwolle uni and then felt them in the washing machine. The detailed pattern is, of course, also available as a free download.

Light does not only play an important role indoors - indirect light sources are also essential for a cozy atmosphere in the garden. Ah, that feeling when the sun slowly sets and night begins. When your favorite friends are sitting around you and the lights slowly start to glow. Pure romance. Are you ready for our most beautiful patterns for garden lanterns?

When this lantern glows, you can look forward to an extraordinary play of shadows. The mandala lantern delights with its delicate look and creates unique indirect lighting. Of course, it is also a real eye-catcher in daylight. Crocheted from the fine cotton yarn Cotton Quick uni, it brings lightness and a hint of festival mood to your garden party with many nuances. As table decoration or hanging in a tree - the DIY lantern made from cotton will enchant your guests in any position.

This DIY project instantly puts you in a good mood and is quick to make. It is also wonderful for crafting with children. What are we talking about? The colorful pompom garland. All you need are yarns in your favorite color, the Gründl Pompon Maker, and scissors. In our example, we used our pure merino wool Merino Mio because it creates wonderfully fluffy and voluminous pompoms. We connected the balls using the loops attached to the bobbles. It is best to take a look at our blog article all about pompoms - there you will find all the important information about colorful wool bobbles.

Animal guests are always warmly welcome. Said and done - for a barbecue party, we greet our busy crochet bee together with our lucky ladybird amigurumi. The two insects were crocheted from the shiny cotton yarn Cotton Quick uni and are very happy to sit in a flowerpot as plant picks. Then they sit opposite you and your guests and can keep an eye on everyone. Very well-mannered, these two crocheted animals. Maintaining eye contact is, after all, a sign of good manners.

Now you are ready for a wonderful barbecue party that will be unforgettable thanks especially to the charm of the DIY projects for the garden. Grab your calendar right away and invite all your favorite friends. Which summery knitting and crochet accessories will you choose? What would you like to surprise your guests with? We would so love to be a fly on the wall and part of the magical atmosphere. And because we can only dream of that, we would be very happy to receive a photo of your handmade garden decoration. Send it to us either by email at briefkasten@gruendl.com or via our social media channels such as Instagram or Facebook. We are already excited. :)

Chicly knitted. How beautiful and delicate can lanterns be? Do you like the DIY lanterns with color gradient as much as we do? Hard to believe but true: for one DIY lantern, you need only one ball of the colorful Gründl cotton yarn Cotton Quick Batik. Without changing colors and without knotting, you create a handmade lantern that looks wonderful with all its fantastic colors not only as decoration in the trees. The colorful accessory also looks excellent on the terrace, in the living room, or in the bedroom. For a magical mood and a hint of the Orient.

If you decide against lighting: we also love the crocheted mandala as a dreamcatcher. Stretched into a wooden frame and decorated with colorful tassels, the DIY dreamcatcher gives every barbecue party an unmistakable hippie vibe.

You surely have a few empty preserving jars at home, right? Perfect! Then the crochet for the garden party can begin. All you still need to do: choose your favorite colors of the cotton yarn Cotton Fun, buy Gründl yarn, grab a crochet hook, and download the free pattern for the crochet lantern. Then you can start crocheting for the garden. Once your lanterns made from Gründl cotton yarn Cotton Fun are finished, you can place small candle glasses or old jars inside, fill them with an electric tealight, and find a suitable place to hang them in the garden. The sight at dusk and at night will not only bring you incredible joy - your guests will probably not want to go home once they have seen the glowing crochet lanterns.
