In keeping with the upcoming spooky season, I have a ghost pot holder for you here. It’s double-knitted and therefore not suitable for beginners. You should have a bit of experience with this technique.
You’ll need cotton yarn in two different colors. I’d recommend using knitting needles that are slightly thinner than those suggested for your yarn. The ghost is shown in a knitting chart.

Dear Arni, I also wish you all the best and lots of joy with your baby. I still remember well how worried you were at the beginning, and now everything will be fine. I’m so happy for you!

Yesterday I went for a longer walk. Whew, was it cold! Time for winter accessories!

Knitted in a simple pattern using soft wool, it’s a project even daring beginners can tackle.

This wrap is also very relaxing to knit and ideal for the evening after work.

It is knitted mainly in brioche stitch. That makes it especially soft and gives it a lovely drape.

"Poesia" is a knitted scarf that’s especially well-suited for colorful sock yarns. It’s very relaxing to knit, and you can set it aside at any time without losing track of where you were in the pattern. This makes it perfect for spreading out over several evenings after work.

The scarf gets its special charm from the fact that it’s knitted diagonally, which really shows off the color gradients beautifully.

Oh, how exciting :-) I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart and hope both mother and baby are doing well!
Just imagine—I’m sitting here grinning from ear to ear, that’s how happy this news makes me :-)

If you have small gifts to wrap, you can also use an original little knitted pouch.

Here is the pattern for it.



These pouches are quick to make and a lot of fun. You can use up leftover colorful sock yarn. I just think they’re so cute.

At Christmastime it’s usually winter here, and that means it’s cold. That makes a really cozy, warm scarf a great gift idea. A crocheted scarf made from thick yarn that can be finished in one day—so it’s also perfect as a last-minute gift. The pattern is also suitable for beginners. You just need to know double crochet and chain stitches, that’s all.

This just made me think back to our Christmas celebrations. Somehow everything always went pretty much the same way. Father got a tie, Mother got a new apron, and we kids got hats. More or less like that, though sometimes there were variations :-)
The hats were very unpopular with me; on the way to school, as soon as I had disappeared around the corner, I always yanked them off my head. But that doesn’t have to mean anything—not all children are as stubborn as I was.

Here you go, a hat.



This knitted hat is wonderfully lightweight because it’s knitted from sock yarn. Maybe it’ll stay on the head :-)
The pattern comes in 4 different sizes—from children to adults.

I treated myself once last week, but it was only three tiny little balls. I’m not even sure they count. Other than that, I’ve been very disciplined lately. It seems to me that I’m using up more than I’m buying right now.

If you’re planning to make yourself invisible at night (although that’s not as easy as you might imagine), you can wrap yourself in a night-coloured shawl.

Here’s the pattern.



Dark grey, almost black, and very elegant! The shawl is a long, rectangular stole knitted lengthwise. It has a sophisticated lace pattern along the lower edge. You’ll need sock yarn — the amount depends on the size you want — and 4 mm knitting needles.
The pattern is written out in full, and there is also a knitting chart for the lace pattern.

Camouflage—the art of concealment—has many facets. It can be makeup, but it can also be clothing.
For anyone who wants to blend into the urban jungle, I recommend a scarf in city-inspired colors.

You’ll find the pattern here.



The scarf is knitted in a simple lace pattern. Cotton or viscose yarns work well, for example—I’d recommend something a bit thicker. It’s also quick to finish on 6mm needles. Camouflage for fashion-conscious city dwellers. Although, I don’t think you’ll go completely unnoticed with it.

Happy birthday from me, too!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it works out. If not, it’s my own fault!

Happy Birthday!

Hi Andrea,
if you’re talking about the “Cute as a Button” dirndl (that one caught my eye because it’s gray), it looks from the pictures as though the single crochets are always worked into the chain stitches of the previous round. So basically: single crochet into the chain stitch, 1 chain stitch, skip the single crochet from the previous round, and single crochet into the next chain stitch. Could that be right?

You can now find a double-knitted pot holder here. Perfect for Halloween, which is just around the corner, it features a ghost.

The pattern can be found here.



It’s knitted in cotton in two colors, ideally with one of them being white. The pot holder also has a crocheted border and a loop for hanging. That’s a matter of taste—you can do it, but you don’t have to.

I’ve got this terrible ghost as a new housemate now. To make it less scary, I put it on a potholder.

You can find the pattern here.



This potholder is knitted using the double-knitting technique, which means the colors on the front and back are exactly reversed. You should be familiar with this technique; the pattern does not include a tutorial on it. The ghost is shown in a knitting chart.
You’ll need cotton yarn in two different colors and knitting needles that are slightly thinner than those recommended for the yarn. If you like, you can also add a crocheted border all around, but it isn’t absolutely necessary.

We’ll be needing scarves again soon. This knitted lace scarf, made with thick yarn, is especially cozy. It’s a quick knitting project since it’s worked with thick needles.
The knitting chart helps with following along, but everything is also written out row by row.

The days are slowly getting shorter, and it’s often already cool in the mornings and evenings. Time to get ready for fall. A pair of wrist warmers is stylish and very useful in the transitional season.

Here’s the pattern.



If you have some sock yarn left over from a pair of socks—about 90 m is needed for these wrist warmers. They have a fun lace pattern (explained step by step with pictures) and are easy to knit.

With this triangular shawl, you can really let your mind wander. There are no hidden difficulties—it’s very relaxing to knit, and all you need is 1 skein of sock yarn. A wonderful knitting project for the weekend.

How about a hat in rainbow colors?

Take a look.



This hat is knitted from sock yarn using 3mm needles. It features a charming lace pattern that gets smaller and smaller from the bottom up until it disappears completely during the decreases.
The pattern is written out in full and also presented on a knitting chart. Two different sizes are included.

In delicate pastel colors, this triangular shawl looks very girly. Of course, you can also use any other color, just as you can use any yarn you like. The pattern is easy; you only need to pay a little attention at the edges. The shawl is knitted from the tip upward—that also means you can adjust the size however you like.

You can find the pattern here.

It’s knitted using sock yarn with 3.5 mm needles. Yarn usage depends on the desired length.

I’d like to join in with my own wishes. Happy birthday!

Maybe as pajamas in Antarctica? I probably won’t be going there anytime soon :-)
I’m still slowly knitting my blanket. In the meantime, I’ve finished “The Ghost”, and to relax I’ve started a very simple shawl.

If you prefer something a little bolder, you’ll love this crocheted scarf.

You can find it here.



Knitted with extra-thick yarn, it’s finished in no time, and the pattern is really just knit and purl stitches. Child’s play!

Imagine this: snow-covered trees, snow-white clouds, and snowflakes—the depths of winter. You can discover all of that on this knitted hat.

You can find the pattern here.



For this, you’ll need yarn with a yardage of 150 m per 50 g, one skein each of blue and white, and 3.5 mm knitting needles.
The pattern is available in 3 different sizes.

You definitely don’t need a gauge for this shawl, because it can be knitted with any yarn you like. The gauge doesn’t matter at all; you simply knit for as long as you want.

You can find the pattern here.



Counting is a bit of a thing. Basically, the zigzag edge has a set number of stitches. But you can spare yourself the counting by using a stitch marker. Very easy and perfect for knitting while watching TV!

This set includes two winter hats. What both hats have in common is that they’re inspired by snowy winter landscapes. One hat (the one with the trees) is knitted in two colors, while the other uses three colors.

Click here for the set.

This set, consisting of a cowl and matching hat, is available as a value bundle. Both items are also available separately, but together they’re cheaper.

You can find the set here.



Both are knitted from sock yarn using 3mm needles. I can’t guarantee quick results, but it’s an interesting pattern.

When it's raining outside and the wind is whistling around the corners, it's especially cozy at home. What could be nicer than a nap on the sofa?

Here is the pillow to go with it.



It is knitted from cotton in two different colors using a slipped-stitch pattern. It looks more complicated than it is—you only need one color at a time in each row.
The pattern is written out row by row and shown in a knitting chart. And that bit about the nap was a rhetorical question :-)

If this keeps up, we’ll soon need a hat in the mornings and evenings. A wise woman plans ahead!

Knitted from sock yarn, it’s ideal for the in-between season. It features a charming lace pattern, presented both in written form and as a knitting chart. Not necessarily suitable for beginners; you should have a bit of practice with lace patterns. The pattern is available in two sizes.

I’m currently working on a Halloween ghost, but I’m putting off Christmas for now.
