With this sweet baby set—consisting of a pinafore dress, head/hairband, and little shoes, your baby will look adorable this spring. The little dress grows with the baby for a while, from approx. 3–18 months.

I recommend the little dress and headband for advanced or experienced knitters. The shoes are very easy—even beginners with crochet experience can make them successfully.

The baby needs a cuddly warm sleeping bag like this in every season. This one is knitted from merino wool using a stitch technique that creates an insulating layer of air. The baby can be changed in it while sleeping, because the sleeping bag can be unbuttoned all over.

By the way, it grows with the baby from approx. 3 - 12 months.

Easy to knit, even for beginners with some knitting experience.

Thanks, Mel. Well, I don’t knit around the clock—it’s usually an evening-long activity, plus 1–2 hours during the day. Little things like this just get done quickly.

Now the second pair of pants is finished—the red-and-yellow ones that my granddaughter will get. Here are both pairs together. I like them both:



And here’s what my little star looks like in the red-and-yellow set (which Linja got for her doll for her birthday):



And I’ve also finished a little doll sock—here it is:



The sock fits my little star perfectly.

And I’ve finished something else to give as a gift. My sister-in-law had asked for a crocheted cover for a jar that’s meant to hold flowers. Here’s what it looks like now that it’s finished:

The colorful spring meadow with egg cozies, egg outfits, floral decorations, placemats, and coasters has been bringing spring into my home for several weeks now.

Here you can crochet with lots of colorful leftover yarn and bring creative ideas to life with the different examples of egg clothing.

The decorations are fun to crochet. Very well suited for beginners with basic skills.

Mel, how about a really cute little animal? You’ve already designed a few. Maybe you could come up with something else. Mohair is nice and cozy and goes great with amigurumi. A pillowcase would also look really nice made from mohair...

Thanks, Ida and Sandra!
Ida, your embroidery already looks great… I’m guessing it’s a flower or a butterfly?
It’s great to have you here now.

I’m almost done with the second pair of doll pants. The red-and-yellow set needs to be mailed by Friday at the latest so it arrives in time for Linja’s birthday. Her doll will definitely look cute in them. I’ll show it here again once it’s completely finished.

I’ve also already finished a little sock for Sternchen. That’s totally cute, too.

I’m knitting doll clothes for my granddaughter, whose birthday is next week. I need to mail them by Friday at the latest.

After that, I’ll start on a sleeping bag for the doll.

These cute door guards can be used in very creative ways. Children absolutely love them, because at last unwanted guests are politely asked to stay outside.

The door guards—the bear and the owl—are incorruptible when put on duty by the room’s occupant. 

When crocheting, you can let your creativity run free here, both in the color design and in the little details. Since Easter is coming soon, how about putting a guard owl or a guard bear in the nest this time? Your children will cheer!

Easy for beginners with crochet experience to make.

Note: Both guards are also available individually as patterns in my shop.

Hi Ida,

it’s nice to hear from you again. I kind of missed you.
Creativity can take different forms. It doesn’t always have to be knitting that fulfills you. It’s great that you’re now active in other ways and rediscovering old hobbies.

I’m also into a variety of things and really enjoy painting. I haven’t done that in a long time because I’m enjoying knitting the most right now.

By the way… taking nature photos outdoors can be artistic, too. Nature provides us with the best subjects.

We’re having typical April weather here, but luckily it’s not as stormy as it was yesterday. So I’m using the time to do some crafts and write up a pattern in my cozy, warm living room.

Today we’re having lentil stew and leftovers from the nut-chocolate cake from the weekend.

I wish everyone here a pleasant week!

Best regards, Monika

Thanks, Ruth, that’s cool! I didn’t know that either.

Marion, the pants are actually already finished—except for weaving in the ends. Yes, they’re knitted without a gusset. I tried it, and it fits the doll perfectly.

Now I’m starting the second pair of pants, which my granddaughter will get for her birthday. That one will be a red-and-yellow combination.

Hi landlady, it’s great to have you join us here. Your dragonfly pattern looks very pretty.

My photos sometimes shift around here, too. My tip: pay attention to where the cursor is when you upload them. That’s exactly where the photos will appear.

I always leave a paragraph, or one blank line, between two paragraphs and place the photo there. I’m sure you’ll manage it too.

Marion, your hat looks very cute!
Claudia, brewing your own beer, that’s really interesting; I’d never heard of that before.

I’ve started making the trousers for Sternchen.

Oh Sandra, that’s such a cute photo of Anton. Wow, he’s gotten so big. :)
Well, maybe he’ll leave Grandma’s bun alone.

Wow, Sandra, your grandma turned out great! I really like it. It seems to me that you’re getting even better with every figure.

Claudia, your owls in eggs turned out absolutely adorable. The recipients are sure to be delighted. A really pretty decoration.

Marlene, the start of your tablecloth is already looking very nice. You’ve still got quite a bit ahead of you. I can’t wait to see the finished tablecloth.

And last night I knitted a hat for my little one that fits perfectly. Here’s what it looks like now:



Now I’m working on a matching pair of pants for her. :)

I wish everyone here a wonderful weekend and plenty of time for handicrafts.

I’m going to be busy writing patterns now and knitting a hat for my doll’s Schlüttli.

Since the weather isn’t going to be that great, I’ll be making myself comfortable in the living room. I’m also planning to bake a delicious nut cake.

So, the Schlüttli for my little star is now finished. It looks totally sweet. 
Now I’m going to knit a hat to go with it.

Yes, I agree with the previous posters. Cotton Merino works well for this.

I knit and crochet almost exclusively with Drops yarn and love it. I rarely use anything else.

For small crocheted items like amigurumi or doll clothes, I like to use Drops’ recycled cotton. 

How about a feminine eye-catcher—a triangular shawl that is also a poncho. The pretty lace pattern with waves in between is great to knit, and it definitely won’t get boring.
