My Quick Sheet Pan Gingerbread – The Recipe

Oh—wow!! Andrea, you did a great job—it looks just like mine does when it’s still on the baking sheet. Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, ours was all eaten up today. That means I’ll have to bake something again tomorrow. :-)

You’ll find knitting patterns for cute baby clothes at this stand.

Clothing is always very popular for babies, especially when it’s hand-knitted. There’s so much love in it, and the joy of giving it as a gift is great for everyone. The baby clothes you’ll find here grow along a little, so the work is really worth it.

Let yourself be inspired. I hope you have lots of fun with it.


This sweet little baby dress looks adorable when worn, as many users have already written to me. It fits up to 18 months and is easy to knit.

To the knitting pattern




This little dress with the sweet knitted-in hearts also grows along — even up to 3 years. 

To the knitting pattern




Every baby first needs a warm blanket — preferably made from soft merino wool. They’ll feel comfortable and safe in it. When you knit this blanket, you put your love — your heart — right into it in a visible way. The baby is sure to feel it.

To the knitting pattern




So that the baby or toddler stays nice and warm on the head, throat, and neck all at once, this hat is simply brilliant. To make it easy to put on and take off without any crying, it has buttons at the front. And knitting it is very easy.

To the knitting pattern




This baby set — knitted from sock yarn — consists of a jacket with the matching hat and pull-on pants. The pattern is made up of knit and purl stitches and looks pretty on both sides. Good knitting experience with patterns is recommended here.

All pieces fit at least up to 12 months. My granddaughter was still wearing the pants at 1.5 years old. The pants and the jacket are also available as separate patterns.

To the knitting pattern for the baby set

 


These summer pants — which can also be knitted with long legs — fit babies from 3 months and up to about 1.5 years. Easy to knit with a perfect fit.

Nostalgic, colorful, decorative and practical - or simply as a good-luck charm to enjoy.
Maybe you’ll find the idea here that you still need for someone dear to you.


A funny little ghost as a companion - on a keychain, in the car, or as a gift tag. It’s something different and puts you in a good mood. Very easy to make.

To the crochet pattern




Lucky beetles as oven mitts - guaranteed not everyone has these. They look lovely in any kitchen and always spread good cheer. Very easy to crochet, even for beginners.

To the crochet pattern




A small pouch for 10 tissues - it fits anywhere and is sure to be a joy to give as a gift. Leftover yarn can be used here, and different versions can be crocheted. Very easy to make.

A tissue box cover that can be crocheted in your favorite colors - my friends always loved it. It is very easy to make and always turns out beautifully. The hearts and butterflies on it are a lovely eye-catcher.

A little bear or an owl as a door guard - an absolute hit with children, but not only with them. A must-have for working from home! This makes it easy to signal in a loving way whether visitors are welcome or not.

The owl or the little bear is available as an individual pattern or as a value bundle. They are very easy to make, even for beginners with crochet experience.

Of course, little gnomes are also a must at a Christmas market. These gnomes can be crocheted in different sizes - then filled and given as gifts. For example, they can stand on the table as egg cups and egg cozies, along with the gnome house as a bread roll basket. There are so many ideas. And children are guaranteed to know what they can fill them with.

Note: The gnome house (storage basket) and the gnomes are also available separately as patterns.

At this booth you'll find a few ideas for toys that toddlers especially will be delighted with.


I can especially recommend the bag that fits perfectly on a Puky, tricycle, or balance bike. It gives a gift like that an extra special touch. The bag was a wish from my granddaughter, and it has proven to be very sturdy. Lots of treasures have already been carried in it.

To the crochet pattern

 


You can also crochet a kindergarten bag yourself. This one also has a reinforced bottom and even an adjustable strap. It can come along on walks or outings, too. This was another wish from my granddaughter. She loves bags!

To the crochet pattern




Food for the play kitchen is a great idea, and it is sure to get lots of play. Here you'll find the basic supply to start with, so the dolls will be well fed, too. They can choose from toast, butter, noodles, a fried egg, and various vegetables. Ideal for leftover yarn and also for beginners.

To the crochet pattern




A bag is absolutely needed for the pretend shop, too. And you can fill it right away with lemons and carrots. Maybe the little shopkeepers have sold out and need to restock? All the pieces are easy for beginners to crochet as well.

A teddy bear for a baby or toddler that even beginners can easily knit themselves. With the pattern, it works out great.

Of course, this little bear also has perfectly matching clothing - a sleeping bag / swaddle bag with a sweater. This clothing also fits other bears or dolls measuring approx. 35-40 cm.

To the knitting pattern




These striped pants fit teddy bears measuring 40 cm. They're very easy to knit, and there's even room at the back for the little tail to go through.

The little sleeping animals or dolls - 20 cm tall - naturally need a sleeping bag too, so they don't get cold at night. Here you can knit two different models right away. Both are very easy to make.

Especially for teddy bears measuring 25-30 cm, there are a few pretty designs


Sporty summer clothes, ideal for leftover yarn - also for beginners

To the knitting pattern




A cute little raglan sweater - quickly knitted from leftover yarn - raglan from the bottom up

To the knitting pattern




A warm onesie so the teddy bear (or doll) doesn't get cold. Easy to knit and easy for toddlers to put on and take off. Two different yarn weights are described.

Your jackets look great with the ears on them. That must have been a lot of work with the snaps. They really have to hold up to a lot, especially on kids’ jackets. Matching outfits for the grandkids—that’s a lovely idea. Is one of them a girl?

Ines
Your little winter fellow is so cute. Did you design it yourself? Definitely a sweet idea
—and I like the yarn, too. Though I’d better just take a quick peek… I’m still on a diet and want to make it into a second year. Let’s see how long I can stick with it.


Now I’ve somehow gotten motivated to finish knitting my sweater—that long-term UFO—before November is over. I’m sure I’ll finish the first sleeve today. Then I just have the second sleeve and the collar left. I should definitely be able to finish that over the weekend. I’m really looking forward to finally wearing it.

Have a creative and wonderful day, everyone!

Are you already in the Christmas spirit?

Yes, that’s right, Josefa. :-)

We’ve had candles and an aroma lamp going all through November and are doing our best to create a cozy atmosphere.

I’m not quite in the Christmas spirit yet, even though some decorations have already made their way here and there.

If everything works out, I’ll get to see my granddaughters shortly after Christmas. But that’s not set in stone yet. That would be the highlight for me. It’s also not clear yet whether my friend will be able to come. It depends on whether she can move into the vacation rental.

We’ll just take things as they come and make the best of it. That just makes me look forward to next year even more.

Do you still have all your cups in the cupboard?

Wow, Andrea, you really have quite a collection.
As soon as I have time, I’ll dig out mine. There are soooo many! Even though I’m not a cup collector, I’ve ended up with quite a few. That’s why we have breakfast with different tableware every day. It definitely never gets boring.

My Quick Sheet Pan Gingerbread – The Recipe

Dear friends, thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback. I’m so glad you like the recipe. Give it a try—it tastes absolutely delicious.

Andrea, just try using regular flour. I can’t guarantee that it will turn out like mine, but it’s worth a try.

Ruth, the cake keeps for quite a while. I store it in a cool place in a shallow cake container. That said, I have to admit that in our house, it’s usually gone within two weeks at the latest. This time, it won’t even last a week. 

Another variation <\/u><\/strong>would be to place whole nuts on top (pressing them in slightly) and bake them with it. I always cut it into small pieces. The sheet gingerbread is more like a cake, so it’s not as flat as regular gingerbread.

My Quick Sheet Pan Gingerbread – The Recipe

For many years now, the first thing I’ve baked during Advent has been my quick sheet pan gingerbread. It’s ready in a flash and can be eaten right away. You can also substitute some of the ingredients to suit your own taste. I’ll list the alternatives here.


First, the ingredients:
  • 350 g whole-grain spelt flour
  • 200 g honey (I mix 100 g honey with 100 g birch sugar)
  • 200 g ground hazelnuts (I toast them in a pan before grinding)
  • 5 tsp gingerbread spice (or 3 tsp gingerbread spice and 2 tsp ground cloves)
  • 1 packet of cream of tartar baking powder
  • a little vanilla
  • 1/4 liter milk (I use oat milk)
  • 150 g melted butter (I use coconut oil)
  • 4 eggs

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients together, then pour onto a baking sheet (greased or lined with parchment paper). The batter is relatively soft.


Baking:

Bake at 180 degrees on the convection setting for about 15–20 minutes. Depending on your oven, you may need to bake it 5 minutes longer.

After baking, let it cool slightly, then spread with chocolate coating.


Here are a few photos:




Here it is, fresh out of the oven



Here it is with the chocolate glaze already on top.



I hope you and your loved ones enjoy it!

December Projects + November Projects Part 3: the Crazypatterns Crafting Group

Ruth, I just admired your little finger puppets in another thread. They’re absolutely enchanting and, as always with you, very well done. I never cease to admire your dexterity with these little crochet projects. For me, something like this is a real challenge.

YES—I’ll post the gingerbread recipe in a separate thread today. You can even vary the ingredients a bit to suit your own needs or taste. So you can look forward to it for the first Sunday of Advent.

I’m so happy that so many doll fans are gathered here. I’d asked for my little star for my birthday last year, and my husband gave her to me as a gift. He also named her “Little Star.” :-) And now I’m really enjoying knitting clothes for her. I first discovered her in a photo by Marion. Designing doll or teddy bear clothes is my absolute favorite thing to do. Baby clothes are great, too—that’s why I have a 60-cm-tall doll. Since I don’t have any baby grandchildren anymore, I’m dressing her up now. Maybe one of my granddaughters will have a doll that needs clothes someday. Right now, both of them have other interests.

Andrea, you might have the sweater design from the same designer that my doll is from. I’m just really taken with it, and I’ll knit it by summer at the latest. And I also bought myself a crocheted baby doll. As you can see, my dolls are getting some new siblings. :)

Once I’ve made a bit more progress on my sweater, I’ll post some photos. Right now, the sleeve still needs to grow a bit.

After I finish my sweater (or even before I’m done), I’ll make a little baby doll dress for my little star. I already have it in mind… and I’m still thinking about the colors of the yarn.

Children are always delighted when we make clothing for their favorites—their teddy bears and dolls. A new model has just moved into my shop: overalls for teddy bears measuring 25–30 cm. 

The overalls have no buttons, so they are very easy to put on and take off. They are knitted top-down in the round, and every  step is explained clearly, making them a joy to recreate.

The pattern includes information for two different yarn weights.

December Projects + November Projects Part 3: the Crazypatterns Crafting Group

Marlene , I really like the pattern on your shawl. I’m curious to see what it looks like when it’s finished.

Oh, Andrea , your little doll is so cute. You did a great job on the hat. It’s a fantastic pattern, and the color somehow matches the sweater too. By the way, the sweater looks great and really looks like it was handmade.

My little star feels all cozy and comfortable in her new onesie now. She always sits next to me and watches what I’m writing here (yes, even the pattern for it). My husband is always amazed at how fast I knit. To me, it’s completely normal. Yesterday and today, for example, I finished knitting the upper front piece of my sweater. Tonight I’ll start on the first sleeve. 

It’s “unloved” yarn because I don’t like working with acrylic. The yarn has been sitting in the closet for so long. I only found it recently—it was tucked way in the back. But since I love the colors, I got the idea to knit some outfits for my teddy bears and dolls. I still have a few scraps left—we’ll see what I do with them.

Yes, my dears, you’ll get the gingerbread recipe in a separate thread—most likely tomorrow. I’ll dig it out. It’s super delicious and ready to eat right away. We’ve been enjoying this daily treat since last weekend. Especially when I’m short on time, this gingerbread is a hit.

Now I wish you all a lovely evening and hope you have fun with whatever you’re doing.

Warm regards,
Monika

10+: Trends for 2021

Colorful clothing is always on trend, especially for children. This little skirt is very popular and also easy to knit. It fits girls ages 3–4.

Go to the knitting pattern




In the cooler seasons, people love wearing a scarf. Here, a scarf is wonderfully combined with a collar. This keeps the neck warm even with larger necklines. 

The scarf-collar is very easy to knit and is definitely practical. Of course, it also makes a great gift idea.

Go to the knitting pattern




Something that is definitely always on trend for children is warm leggings—and also knitting with sock yarn. Leggings are needed from fall through spring. This ensures that little ones don’t get cold while playing outside and can move comfortably.

The pattern explains every individual step, and the leggings fit ages 3–5.

The Most Beautiful Christmas Patterns 2020

To the crochet pattern



A poinsettia needs a matching pot. With this pot cover, it can even be given as a gift. This turns a simple little hostess gift into something special, handmade with love.

The star appliqué can also be used as table decoration or as a tree ornament.
All pieces are also very easy for beginners with basic knowledge to make.

There is also a separate pattern for the crocheted stars.

And if you want to crochet your own tinsel and various garlands for the Christmas tree, there’s a pattern for that too. The stars are included here as well.

This is a very easy way to crochet creative Christmas decorations and ribbons for gift packages.

December Projects + November Projects Part 3: the Crazypatterns Crafting Group

Oh, there’s really a lot going on here again! I can’t even keep up anymore. ;-)

Ines,
your door wreath looks very pretty. It’s really something completely different ... as if made by angel hands, and it reminds me of sparkling snow .. and Christmas.

Ina,
I’m already very excited to see your November project. You’ll surely show it to us when it’s finished, right?

Your knitted blanket looks absolutely amazing. That must be really hard on the wrists with those thick needles. That’s why I prefer knitting with thinner needles, 4.5 at most. Otherwise I’m sure I would have tried making a blanket like that too. My husband’s cardigan last year was really enough for me in that regard.

Here’s how things look with me:
The onesie for my little star is finished, and now she won’t have to be cold anymore. So I was able to knit up almost another ball of unloved yarn. There’s still enough left for a hat, which will be coming soon too.

Take a look, this is how she looks in it:

 

Now I’ll get back to knitting my sweater for a while. But that will probably move along with me into December. 

At the weekend I finally baked my quick sheet-pan gingerbread again. More than 2/3 of it has already been polished off.

Winter Walk

Dear Andrea,
thanks again for the wonderful glimpses into your natural world in Norway. It actually reminds me a bit of the pictures I’ve seen of Canada.

Here, it’s sunny and cold. In the morning, there’s frost on the roofs, and the trees have shed all their leaves. Just typical November, I guess.

But somehow, every season has its own special charm. At least that’s how I feel.

Warm regards from southern Germany (so, quite far away)
from Monika

Baked Apple Turnovers

Andrea,
I think I posted it here once before. But now you’ve given me the idea to start a separate thread for it. I’ll dig out the recipe and post it here.

I love this sheet pan gingerbread because it’s super quick to make and tastes just as delicious.

Actually, I need to bake it right now so I can show you a photo.

November Projects Part 2: the Crazypatterns Crafting Group

Ruth, I feel exactly the same way as you do. How many times have I knitted well past 1 a.m. because I just wanted to knit one more row… and then it turned into many.

Yes, my husband loves colors. And he’s always happy to receive something I’ve knitted myself. Especially since he often gets cold feet when he sits at the computer for a long time.

Yesterday I worked on my sweater a bit more, and just now I started on the onesie for the baby doll. It’s going to be totally cute, too.

I wish you all a creative and wonderful weekend.

Warm regards,
Monika

Have a great weekend, everyone: First Sunday of Advent on November 29, 2020

I also wish everyone here a lovely, cozy weekend. Time sure flew by—it’s already the first Sunday of Advent in just one week. I hadn’t really realized that yet.

Well, in any case, I’ll be baking gingerbread next week. And we’ve been sitting by candlelight all through November. It gets dark so early, so that really sets a cozy mood. Add a hot cup of spiced tea, and let the knitting needles clatter away.

Have a wonderful time, everyone, and enjoy whatever brings you joy.

Babies and toddlers need to be dressed cozy and warm right now. It also has to be comfortable so they can move freely while playing.

Warm leggings made from sock yarn are just the thing. They can even be machine-washed and are quick and easy to knit, too. 

Both models are easy to make if you have knitting experience. And both will grow with the child for a while.

25+: Get creative now

Socks are a very popular knitting project. And when knitted with sock yarn, they always have a unique, colorful pattern.

Even if you’ve never knitted socks before, you can give it a try now with the mowi heel. It’s really ingeniously simple, and you can surprise the whole family with socks for Christmas.

So the doll’s mommy can dress in a matching outfit too, there is also a colorful little skirt for her. It fits girls aged 3–4 years. By the way, the doll clothes were knitted from the leftover yarn from this skirt.

November Projects Part 2: the Crazypatterns Crafting Group

Dear Ina,
thank you for your lovely post, as always, and for your kind words about my teddy bears. :) Yes, I think the colors are a great fit for the bears, too.
I’m a little envious of the yarn you’re using for your rug. It’s one of my favorite types of yarn. Your rug looks like it’s hand-knotted. I really love it, and it would look great in our home too. Did you crochet it, and what stitches did you use?

Dear Ines and dear Ruth,
thank you for your feedback on my teddy bears.

There’s a specific reason why I love teddy bears so much. A teddy bear was, so to speak, my first great love, back when I was still a baby. I spent a lot of time in the hospital during my first year of life, and my parents put a teddy bear in my bed. The first thing I could say was that “Bööh” sound it made when you turned it over. That love has stayed with me to this day. My love for soft, movable dolls came later. By the way, I played with teddy bears and dolls for a very long time. I even had my first boyfriend back then.
Now you’ve gotten a little glimpse into my personal life. :)

And another part is finished. The socks for my husband, who can look forward to wearing them today. Here I used a new technique that makes the socks fit even better and prevents them from stretching out.

Baked Apple Turnovers

Marion, your apple turnovers turned out great and look just as good as Andrea’s. You guys are really making me crave more treats. I think I’ll try my hand at a sheet of gingerbread next.
