Edith, the Hutzelsocken turned out really pretty—a great color combination.

Sandra, you make such beautiful things. The butterfly is enchanting!

Marion, I’m amazed at how easy it is to make gifts. Kids love simple cuddly toys like these.

I’m currently knitting my second sock, but every now and then I’m back in bed in between. After many years, it caught up with me too two days ago, but actually only very mildly. I’m just more tired than usual, so I’m giving my body the rest it needs.

As soon as I finish the pair of socks, I’ll show them to you.

Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

Happy birthday and may all your wishes come true.

You can knit these cute baby pants now and think of spring or summer when you dress the baby in them. They fit from size 62 and grow with the baby for a while.

Well suited for advanced beginners. The pants can be worn in any season, for example with tights underneath. The legs can also be knitted longer, so the length is variable.

Those look really pretty, too, Edith!

Thank you so much, Edith! :)

Your baby shoes are absolutely adorable! They’d be just the thing for triplets.

Both are quick to knit from leftover yarn and are sure to bring lots of joy to the doll or teddy mom.

A sleeping bag for a baby to snuggle into—this makes knitting especially enjoyable right now. The sleeping bag fits from 3 to 12 months and was knitted with a pattern that keeps the baby especially warm—like a blanket.

Here, the baby can even keep sleeping while being changed, because the sleeping bag doesn’t need to be taken off.

Thank you so much, Marion! :)

The pattern is simple, that’s true. But I actually had to reknit a small section of the pattern to be able to write it down. I couldn’t figure it out anymore.
It just happened that way while I was knitting ... like so many things with me.

I wish you all a cozy, soft day of knitting, crocheting, or crafting.
I’m going to get back to knitting my own socks now and use up another ball of unloved stash yarn.

Warm regards
Monika

Happy Birthday, Anja! I hope you have a birthday just the way you want it, with everything that goes with it for you.

Best wishes

Happy Birthday, Wollratte! Enjoy being pampered and showered with gifts today.

I wish all users and authors a cozy weekend for snuggling up and doing crafts. May the snow (or rain) stay light, and may you all be—or stay—healthy.

I’ll be using this weekend to knit and catch up on some things that have been left undone.

Now I can also show you my new January project. It’s a reversible pillow knitted with two different patterns. Here’s what it looks like:

Wow, Sandra, your door wreath turned out absolutely lovely. 

Great, Edith, that you’re here with us now too! :)
As you can see, you’re in good company.
Your socks look great!

Greetings from snow-covered southeastern Bavaria!
Monika

Josefa, that’s a great idea—like most of yours. :-)

So, the first pair of baby socks is now finished with the new heel I designed. I’ve already had Paula try them on, and they fit perfectly. That means our new addition to the family will have warm feet right away.

Here’s what they look like:



The next pair of socks for myself is already on the needles. I’m sure they’ll fit just as well.
I’ll show them to you when they’re done.

Hi Edith :)
I also prefer knitting small things, but when I need something for myself, it can be something big now and then. 

I only recently got back into knitting socks and am now working out a simple heel solution. Today I knitted my first baby socks this way, and they look really great. I find that knitting socks with a set of double-pointed needles really puts a lot of strain on my wrists. That’s less of an issue for me with larger projects. What I really like here is the Crasy Trio. It’s much easier to work with.

I already managed to stick to "yarn dieting" - as it’s called here - for a few months last year. Then I didn’t have enough of a certain color in my stash for a new project .... well, and then I was a goner again. But now I’ve decided to keep it up again for a few months and reduce my stash a lot. The monthly threads here really help me with that. Maybe you’d like to join in sometime too. I’ve already managed to finish lots of UFOs (unfinished projects) that way. It really is motivating when you’re not doing it alone.;-)

Here is the January thread - take a look, Edith:
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/forum/topic/99012/januar-projekte-durchstarten-mit-den-beliebten-titel-highlights

Writing stitch patterns or patterns does require quite a bit of patience and, above all, time. I actually started doing it so that later on I’d be able to knit or crochet my designs again myself. And that really does help me a lot. Well, and then I ended up here.....

Best regards
Monika

@Strigg-Grossmami

You seem to be a real sock fan, wow!
I think it’s great that you’re knitting socks for the homeless shelter. They’ll definitely be gratefully received and put to good use there.

I went through my closets the other day... oh my, there’s yarn stashed everywhere. I’m not going to buy any more yarn for several months now. Otherwise, I’ll definitely need a new apartment at some point... *grins*

Best, Monika

Interesting idea, CreatOwl, the double-face socks. I really like the colors.

Wollbärli, those little socks are a hit! They’re going to bring a lot of joy—I’m absolutely sure of it. 

Dear Andrea, I wish you all the best for the year ahead—lots of creative ideas, always plenty of yarn, and encounters that fill your heart.

This cuddly little bear was designed especially for babies and toddlers and is very easy to knit—even for beginners. Basic skills are required.

Leftover cotton yarn can also be used very well here.

To the knitting pattern and more

Note: There is also special "protective clothing" for the baby bear, so the bear doesn't have to be washed as often.

How about a ladybug potholder in the kitchen? It’s very easy to crochet and guaranteed to be a special eye-catcher.

To the crochet pattern

These two—the cute little bear and the owl—serve an important function: as door guards. They show very clearly whether the person behind the door wants visitors or not.
They are especially popular with children.

Very easy to crochet, also suitable for advanced beginners.

Go to the crochet pattern for the value set: Guard Bear and Guard Owl

Note: Both patterns are also available separately in my shop.

Tip: With a thicker yarn than specified, the pants will also fit small babies.

Claudia, I think your Christmas tree is absolutely fantastic, too! I’ve never seen anything like it before.

Bears and dolls need a warm sweater too. Here is a whole set consisting of a raglan sweater in two different sizes and a sleeping bag.

I designed these clothes to fit the knitted baby sleepy teddy, and you can also find the very easy pattern for it in my shop.

But the pieces also fit other teddy bears and dolls measuring 35–40 cm.

This children’s sweater is knitted from cuddly-soft sock yarn. It has a collar and a button placket, so it always fits perfectly around the neck.

The orange sleeve cuffs and collar give the sweater that special flair.
The measurements in the pattern fit approx. sizes 92–104.

Suitable for beginners with knitting experience.

Oh wow, Marion, you did a great job on that! :)
Do you cut it off at the front and knit it on, or how do you do it?

Mel, I think your socks are great too—the pattern really appeals to me.

I still have so much sock yarn that I’m all set. Solid colors and multicolored ones, too.
You can also knit cotton socks for summer.

Oh dear, that almost sounds like a child whose teddy bear needs to be mended over and over again. Well, you’re sure to make this man very happy.

I’m currently tinkering with a heel that’s really easy to knit, and I get new flashes of inspiration every day. Knitting socks isn’t really my thing, but now—and with the Crasy Trio—it’s actually really quick and easy.

I’ve already finished the first pair of socks for my husband, and they fit great. Here’s what they look like:



Now I’ve got some kids’ socks on the needles, and then I’ll knit some for myself. And some for the baby, too. Then I’ll have a pattern for all sizes.

I’ll keep you posted on how it goes...

Best, Monika

Lots of love for your birthday, Daniela, and may this day shower you with gifts.

I’m still tinkering with the socks that have a simple heel, and every day I come up with a new idea that I put into practice. On the side, I’m going to keep crocheting a UFO—a little bear.

Ugh, I really don’t like mending at all. I’d much rather knit it again from scratch.
