20 DIY Oktoberfest Party Ideas To Celebrate At Home

More Party Ideas? September 9, by Shellie Wilson.

I have never actually attended an Okotberfest, or if I did I certainly don’t remember it.  Either way, hosting your own parties has become even more popular with the current lockdown situations and celebrating at home is a great way to control who you come into contact with, and let’s be honest, we really don’t need an excuse to party!

So what is Okotberfest?

The Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folkfest. It is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a 16 to 18-day folk festival running from mid- or late September to the first Sunday in October.

Oktoberfest is a great way to celebrate another October event. Whether you are planning a themed backyard BBQ or a complete Oktoberfest beer event, these tutorials and ideas for a DIY Oktoberfest are surely going to get you very excited. The main theme of course is Germany, beer, and blue and white check tablecloths, flags and banners, and beer? Did I mention the beer already? Have these 3 items and you can theme with ease.

Since beer is the main ingredient for an Oktoberfest party then make sure this is your main focus. Check out these Beer Balloons and these inflatable pretzels. and this amazing inflatable frothy beer drink holder.

An Easy Scarf to Use Up All Your Scraps

If you’ve been around here long, you know that I’m in a perpetual battle with my stash. I feel like I haven’t bought yarn in years unless I needed it for a specific project. I knit fairly a lot, and crochet some, too, but it feels like my stash never gets any smaller.

It’s not just the unused balls of yarn that are a problem. In fact, maybe a bigger issue is all the odd balls and leftover bits that seem to pile up without any effort. Even though I love scrappy projects (and knit a whole sweater dress with scraps earlier this year) it still feels like a never-ending quest to use up all the little bits.

So I’m always on the lookout for good patterns that are made to use of the extra bits of yarn. If they are super easy, too, that’s so much the better.

So it is with the Lalu Scarf by Sheena Stone. This any yarn, any gauge pattern is designed to use up whatever scraps you have on hand (assuming they’re mostly the same weight or can be held double to make the same weight). 

It’s a tube scarf worked in the round, and she specifically notes that she works it outside in, so the back of the scarf is on the outside as you knit. The needle tips are on the part of the circle farthest away from you as you knit.

It also has an attached I-cord edging, which sounds really time consuming but does give the edges a nice, finished look.

The way the colors are changed as you knit you don’t really need a lot of each color. It would probably be good if you had at least enough of a color to complete one round, but you can change colors more often than every round if you need to because you’re using all your tiny bits.

Grab the free pattern on Ravelry.
