Veronika, it’s amazing how fast the mail gets to you guys. Great! I’m curious to see what you’ll pick out.

Cotton is especially perfect for children’s clothing in summer. Here are a few models that are very popular.


Raglan dress with colorful stripes - fits from about age 2 and grows with the child.

To the knitting pattern



The same model can be knitted for a doll (50-58 cm) using the leftovers.

For the big sister (3-4 years), this skirt with colorful stripes can be knitted to match.

To the knitting pattern



Using the leftovers, you can make this cute clothing set to match for a doll (45-50 cm).

And for the baby doll (43-50 cm) or a newborn, this pretty summer outfit can be knitted, also using thin cotton.

Also made from thin cotton is this Schlüttli with a matching hat - suitable for dolls 43-50 cm or small newborns.

Josefa, thank you so much for the link. That’s great!
Yes, of course it’s understandable that there are limits to linking there.
Since the swap events will surely continue, the thread will gradually fill up nicely.

I think this is helpful, since this is already the third swap package in circulation (and more are likely to be started), and this way the creations that have come out of them are all gathered in one thread. Searching for the individual threads is quite a hassle, since they’re spread out over a longer period of time.

Veronika and Ines thought this was a good idea—Ruth has already posted there, too—so I’ve opened this thread.

During the holidays, you can dress a little doll (35–40 cm) for a doll mommy with this sweet set consisting of pants (with or without feet), a raglan sweater, and a hat.

How about this pretty little raglan dress for a doll (45–55 cm), which is great for knitting with leftover yarn.

Go to the knitting pattern




This colorful spring clothing set for the same doll size is also great for knitting with leftover yarn and will make a doll mommy happy.

Go to the knitting pattern




To go with it, you can knit this little skirt for the doll mommy (3–4 years). I knitted the doll clothes from the leftover yarn from the skirt.

And here is another sweet summer outfit for dolls 43–50 cm or preemies. The top is knitted raglan from the top down.

What could be more fitting for Pentecost than a dove of peace! :)
You can knit this one as a washcloth, dishcloth, or pot holder. It’s very simple—just knit and purl stitches.

Thank you, Veronika and Ines. The thread—our showcase—is now open:

https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/forum/topic/163080/tauschpaket-diese-werke-sind-daraus-entstanden#c_163081

If any of you still remember what you knitted with the swap yarn, you can show off your creations there.

I’ll just go ahead and start. From the swap package I received in early 2022, I made this slipover for my six-year-old granddaughter.

Part 2 of the swap package creations:
Swap Package - These Are the Creations That Came from It, Part 2


*******************************

Here you can enjoy a very special kind of window-shopping stroll. There are only creations to see that were made from the yarn in Ina's (Schnuckelina) swap packages.

To everyone who took part in one of these swaps:
Here you can show your results - the yarn should come from one of the swap packages.

All participants' thanks go especially to Ina (Schnuckelina), who set these joy-filled packages on their way. Each package brings great joy to its recipients, because it is full of all kinds of colorful yarns. A true land of plenty for us yarn addicts.

Here you can now see the beautiful things that were conjured up from the swap yarn.

This tissue box cover is crocheted with a relief pattern, giving it a pretty 3D texture. It’s decorated with butterflies and hearts on top, which make it something special. A decorative item like this always makes a great gift.

Go to the crochet pattern




You can also crochet a small tissue pouch to go with it, which holds 10 Tempo tissues. It’s eco-friendly and looks nice on any table. The pattern includes various designs, many of them with relief patterns.

I’ve already admired your Nougat bear in the gallery. The heart-shaped nose is especially cute.

Oh, how lovely, Ines—what wonderful treasures you’ve picked out for yourself. There are even two skeins from me in there—the purple and orange ones in the front right. I simply had too many of those, since I mainly reserve them for doll clothes or double-faced projects.

I’ve already been thinking about whether we should start a separate thread for our projects made with the swap yarn. Because, to be honest, later on I won’t remember which package each skein came from. That way, we’d have a sort of showcase for our projects made from the “Freu” packages.

What do you think?

Josefa could then pin this thread to the top—just like they do in the Handicraft Group and the Bakery. Then no one would have to search for it for a long time.

Dear Susanne,

I, too, wish you all the best and everything wonderful for your birthday and for the year ahead. May it bring you happiness and give you plenty of time for the beautiful things in life.



Warm regards,
Monika

One pattern - several sizes - for a raglan sweater for teddy bears and dolls from 25 to 50 cm.
A great project for doll moms to use up leftover yarn

If you haven’t knitted the socks with the simple mowi heel yet, you absolutely have to give them a try. Four sizes are explained step by step—you’ll be knitting with the CraSyTrio, meaning three needles.

If you have a single skein left over, why not knit this round collar / shoulder warmer? It’s perfect for cooler days in any season and is very easy to knit.

This colorful little summer skirt for 3- to 4-year-olds has already made many little girls happy. Experienced knitters can knit it up easily. You can also use up colorful leftover yarn here

This convertible pinafore skirt is also very popular. It fits from age 1.5 for quite a long time, and depending on the child’s build, even up to age 5. The skirt has little hearts knitted into it.

To the knitting pattern

It turned out really cute, Inge. It’ll definitely be fun to play with. I’d even kiss that one. ;-)

That’s wonderful, Andrea—I’m so happy for you. That little spot on your balcony looks really cozy. That’s the good life. :)

Sending you warm regards from the Southeast—I’m sitting in the garden right now.

Dear Ines,

your package is actually arriving today! I just saw it.
That was super fast—from Friday to today, considering the distance. My package took longer than that.

I hope you enjoy it and I’m excited to see what you pick out.

Warm regards from Monika

Wow, Ines, your sweater is absolutely gorgeous—the color, the cut, and the pattern. A real showstopper! I especially love that you’re showing yourself wearing it. :)) It looks great on you.

Ines, the big yarn package will be with you on Tuesday. You can already look forward to it! :))

I wish all of you here a wonderful spring weekend!

Wow, Christina, you’ve been so busy—I’m amazed at everything you’ve made!! :))
You’ve done a fantastic job with everything; even the peace dove looks great.

Marlene, I’m also excited to see your new project.

I’ll have an outfit for Juna’s doll finished by tomorrow. By now, I can knit the pieces in my sleep. I’ll also design something for my little Lara soon. The clothes from the Little Quadruplets fit her too, if I knit them with slightly thicker yarn. Only her head is bigger. By the way, she’ll be getting a little dress, too.

Have a wonderful spring weekend, everyone.

That’s so funny, Marlies, that your friend is interested in the little dresses. It’s so nice, now that we’re this age, to make up for what we didn’t have back then—at least not the way we do today.

This colorful striped raglan dress made of cotton fits little girls from age 2. It grows with them and then fits as a tunic.

You can knit the matching look from the leftovers—the same little dress for the doll (45–50 cm).

Thanks for the good wishes! I, too, wish everyone here a wonderful weekend with nice weather.

If the weather is nice, I’ll be in the garden—with my knitting, of course.

Yeah, Marlies, those are sure to be adorable little things. I could really use at least five extra pairs of hands right now. ;-)

Sabine, thanks for the info. Yeah, it feels really nice, too. I’m going to make doll clothes out of it.

Oh my gosh, that little mouse is so cute, Andrea! I just love little toys like that, but... crocheting? I wouldn’t feel like doing that with such thin yarn. You did a great job with it. It would be an ideal toy for toddlers to take with them.

Marlies, babies need a diaper, of course. I’m already working on the pattern. For the second diaper, I ordered snaps (1.9 cm in diameter) because they’re easier to sew on. They should be easy to fasten, too. They’re coming on Monday, and then I’ll be done with the diapers.

Today I got some yarn from my swap group (no—I never have enough... smile). I really liked the color (mint); it’s for the babies—a cotton-acrylic blend—and feels great. 200 m/50 g—I’ll be able to make quite a few things with that. Photo coming up shortly.

Beautiful photos, Marlene. Nature provides us with wonderful subjects.

I’m now in the final stretch for Juna’s birthday. I still have quite a bit to finish.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and enjoy whatever you have planned.

I’ve now finished a diaper with Velcro fasteners. Here’s what little Merle looks like wearing it:



Wow, Ina! What a lovely collection you have! It must be a dream come true for your granddaughter. They all look great in their colorful outfits.

Yes, Ines, the luggage scale is really great—it gives you the exact weight. This time, I weighed everything I kept. Then I weighed the yarn I was passing on and put it in. It actually ended up being a little more. That’s why a weight buffer like this is so useful. For me, the yarn package is like a traveling yarn shop. :-)

Ina, I also wish you and everyone here a wonderful weekend with plenty of time for what you love. It’s raining today, so I can work on the computer again. When the weather’s nice, I prefer to be outside.
Of course, I’ll show you my projects—maybe even here, if I can still remember whether the yarn is from this package. With three packages, I’ve lost track. ;-)

Sabine, which yarn is the Timona? The little purple skeins, maybe? I can’t tell from the photo. Now I’ve already distributed everything among my stash… and would have to search for it first.

With this pattern, you can completely dress a small 35–40 cm doll and even choose between different variations. The sweater is knitted top-down with raglan shaping.

Knit a dove of peace as a symbol of the peace we all wish for. You can use it as a washcloth, dishcloth, or potholder, depending on the yarn weight you choose.

For the little ones on a tricycle, Puky, or balance bike, you can crochet this bag to hang on it. It fits perfectly and can carry lots of treasures. A very lovely project for advanced crocheters that is fun to make.

Dear Steffi, well, you can look forward to the package, because there are even more fine yarns inside. Let it be a surprise.

Veronika, I also keep coming across yarn that absolutely wants to come to me, usually in my swap group. By now I know that quite a few of them then want to move on here in the big swap package. In any case, you can look forward to the live show (great way to put it). For me, it was a real treat.

Andrea, you have something to look forward to, too—there’s definitely something in there for you. And each person adds something new, after all.

Oh wow, Petra, that one looks pretty big and healthy. We haven’t seen ours yet this year, but he’s been eating quite well. Tonight will be the first night he doesn’t get any food. Now he can find enough on his own in nature.

Dear yarn-swap enthusiasts,

Today the huge yarn package finally arrived at my place. Unfortunately, it was torn along the side edges. As far as I can tell, though, the contents are complete.

What a joy! It was like Christmas and a birthday all in one. First I unpacked the whole package and looked through everything, thinking about what I could make with it. And this is what ended up staying with me (I put the little blue ball in front back in, because the yarn is too thin for me).



Yes, it’s almost 1000 grams. Luckily I have enough stash and was even able to put a little more in. What I think is really great this time is that the contents only weigh about 4.5 kg. That leaves a buffer, and no one has to pay for more than 5 kg. Super helpful. Until now, I didn’t even know we had a digital luggage scale. Luckily my husband remembered. That makes it possible to prepare a package like this accordingly so there are no surprises at the post office.

I’m going to knit some of the felting wool into dreys or swings for squirrels. But also something else: little felted baskets for our motorhome. My husband came up with the idea; he once saw it online in another RV. From the little purple ball of yarn I’ll either knit hats for the two girls or a sweater for Linja. It’s baby merino and therefore nice and soft. Yarn for the doll clothes is included too—the little colorful balls on the right. I’m already looking forward to working up the yarn.

Thank you, dear Ina, for getting this lovely package on its way.

Tomorrow it will be on its way to you, Ines. You can already look forward to it. It will probably be with you early next week.

I find it interesting that the package is traveling all across Germany. From the northeast to the west, then to the southeast (where we are) and then back to the northeast ... anyway, up and down... exciting.

A hairband like this with an openwork pattern can be knitted very quickly from colorful scraps. Great for summer.

Wow, that’s a masterpiece, Tanja! I’m sure it tastes as delicious as it looks.

Today, two diapers were finished for Juna’s little doll baby. Patterns will follow soon. Now all that’s left is to sew on the Velcro fasteners.

Oh Marion, the new hat looks great—it really suits your Finn.

I finished two diapers for the little ones today. Here’s a photo. I crocheted them using some leftover yarn. They’re for Juna’s little doll baby—I have the same one. That way, I can always keep the supply stocked. Once the Velcro fasteners are attached, I’ll post a photo with a model.

To the knitting patternSocks are, of course, the most common project for sock yarn. You’ll enjoy knitting these socks because they’re worked on 3 needles using the mowi heel. It’s really easy, even if you’ve never knitted socks before. The pattern includes 4 sizes with step-by-step instructions.

Josefa, I’ll try it right away—I’ll check the box and see what happens today.

Thanks, Josefa!

I’m just writing a quick note—without checking the box for replies—so the flood of emails in my inbox will stop.

I’m just writing a quick post here—without checking the box for replies—so I won’t get flooded with emails anymore. I’ve already written to support.

I’m just writing a quick post here—without checking the box for replies—so I won’t get flooded with emails anymore. I’ve already written to Support.

Starting today, I’ve been flooded with countless—yes, dozens—of emails from the forum. They’re coming from three threads that I replied to and checked the box to be notified when new posts are made there.

But… only one person actually posted! And I’m getting 20–30 emails as notifications.

And now this evening, I received about 50 emails for these three threads, even though there aren’t any new posts at all.

Please pass this along to the IT team so they can fix it.

I’m not going to check any more boxes for now.

Ruth, I admire you for these tiny little things you design. That looks very pretty again. Yes, of course the little guy has to go underwater too. Those fashion dolls never appealed to me. I need something to cuddle—it’s always been that way. It’s nice that we’re now making up for what we didn’t have as kids. I feel the same way.

Marlene, I’m curious to see what your bag looks like when it’s finished.

I’ll show you the finished diaper for Juna’s little doll baby later. Of course, she’ll need at least two of those. Another jacket is already in the works, too. After all, I now have five tiny babies, and they all need their own.

For this peace dove, you only need to knit knit and purl stitches. A chart shows you the layout. You should have some basic knowledge.
