Dear Marlies,

how wonderful that it’s your birthday and you can make yourself comfortable. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart, and may this new year of your life be one of your most beautiful. May you enjoy good health, have plenty of time for life’s little pleasures, and may every day bring you happiness.

It’s so nice to have you here. We’d really miss you otherwise! :))



Warm regards from Monika

Even doll children absolutely need a sun hat. With this pattern, you can crochet several dolls at once and give a doll mom a delightful surprise… maybe even in her Easter basket.

All you need is a few scraps of cotton yarn, and you can get started right away.

A gift that’s always welcome is a cloth like this with a heart—whether as a washcloth, potholder, or dishcloth. Even knitting beginners can achieve a great result here. It’s also a lovely idea for Mother’s Day, by the way—or for someone dear to your heart.

I’d also like to wish you all a healthy and wonderful 2024!
My approach is simply to make the most of every moment. I don’t have any specific plans. At my age, I enjoy every moment that I’m healthy and can take pleasure in crafting.

Thanks, Inge!

I, too, wish you all a healthy and happy 2024! Let’s just make the best of it.

Love, Monika

Thank you, Alexander and the entire CP team, for your inspiring wishes and for being there for all of us. It’s a joy to be a part of this community.

I also wish everyone here a healthy, happy, creative, and joy-filled 2024.

A washcloth with a peace dove makes an unusual and lovely gift. Of course, the pattern can also be used to knit dishcloths or potholders.

I’m sure a bigger teddy bear has now come forward to say that he needs a sweater too. Maybe he was forgotten at Christmas?

You can knit this top-down raglan sweater for him afterwards, and all you need is some leftover yarn. The sweater also fits babies or dolls that are about 60 cm tall.

You can knit this warm winter jumpsuit for dolls of various sizes so they can stay nice and warm all winter long. With top-down raglan construction and a hood with a fur trim, it’s a real eye-catcher and will delight every doll mom.

The doll mom has surely mentioned at Christmas what she’s still missing. How about surprising her with a cuddly soft sleeping bag made of merino wool?

The sleeping bag also fits newborns of about 50 cm just as well. You’ll certainly enjoy imagining, while you’re knitting, how the baby or doll will sleep in it.

To the knitting pattern




Children’s clothing can also be knitted from bobbel cotton, for example a cardigan with a matching hat. The cardigan fits toddlers from 1.5 to about 2.5 years old. The colorful stripes made from leftover yarn create a pretty contrast.

I’ve had this problem before, too, and I ended up using a different email address for a while. After a few weeks, I switched back to my original email, and everything has been arriving and working fine ever since.

Your best bet is to contact support. Maybe they’ll have a solution.

You’ll have fun knitting this cute little pinafore dress for a baby. It’ll make Mom happy, too, because it grows with the baby and will still fit even at age 3. A real all-rounder.

The dress features a knitted-in heart pattern, which makes it a pretty eye-catcher.

Wow, it looks so cozy over there with all of you. Then I’d like to show you a little bit of my Christmas decorations, too. They’re pretty simple, but still nice.

A small project that’s quick to finish and perfect for beginners is this set of “Lucky Beetle” pot holders. They also make a great lucky gift for the New Year.

This colorful cardigan is one of my granddaughter’s favorite pieces. The pockets and hood are very practical and make the cardigan something special. It’s knitted from soft merino wool using a top-down raglan construction. Good knitting skills and experience are required for this project.

Dear Ellen,
yes, of course, I also mean that you’ll enjoy it for a very long time to come. The best gifts are usually the ones we give ourselves.

I’m sure you’ll show us one or two of your creations here too, won’t you? A sewing machine really is a magical tool—somehow. 

Wishing you lots of joy, including while celebrating, and warm regards
Monika

Dear Ina,

thank you for this truly useful and lovely reminder. I think it makes a lot of sense, and it’s a wonderful way to turn old T-shirts and even bedding into handkerchiefs.

I’ll definitely give it a try. And yes, I even still have some cloth handkerchiefs, but only a few.

Best regards
Monika

Dear Ellen,
you’ve given yourself a lovely gift, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it very much over the next few days.

Best regards again,
Monika

May this new year bring you nothing but good things and make your wishes come true.

Sometimes a collar, sometimes a scarf—this collar+scarf is incredibly versatile. I like to wear it under sweaters with a wider neckline. That way, my throat and neck always stay nice and warm.

It’s very easy to knit if you’ve knitted before. It’s also a wonderful way to use up a leftover skein.

Sock yarn is wonderful for knitting children’s clothing, such as these leggings. They fit children ages 3 and up. My granddaughter was still wearing them at age 5—now her younger sister is enjoying them.

The leggings are easy to knit, in one piece with no seams. Both kids and parents love them, because when playing outside, the little ones are always perfectly warm and have full freedom of movement. Since sock yarn washes well, it checks all the boxes.

Dear Inge, I, too, hope you’ll be able to go home very soon. Until then, make sure you’re well taken care of and give yourself this break. It seems your body needs it.

It’s a good thing the suspicion wasn’t confirmed.

My grandchildren used to hang this bag on their Puky, tricycle, and balance bike. It served them well for many years and was very much loved. Since it’s very sturdily made—with a double bottom—it could even be passed on to other children.

A particularly lovely project for experienced crocheters. Every toddler will be delighted with it.
