There is also a knitting pattern for a jacket and hat set for these little dolls. The jacket is knitted as a top-down raglan, just like the sweater in the previous pattern.

Of course, a sleeping bag is a must for such a little baby doll, too. This one fits dolls up to 40 cm tall.

Andrea and Marlies, yeah, you’re right. I also think they look really lively in their own pretty clothes. I’m having so much fun with the little rascals. Luckily, they’re all easy to take care of... ;-)

Andrea—yes, she’s such a sweetheart, the twin sister of your Laura. It’s really so much fun with the babies.

Petra, Paula’s winter suit is made from a yarn that gradually changes colors. I found it really exciting to knit with. Unfortunately, the size didn’t quite work out, so I ended up knitting the cuffs on the sleeves and the hood with a similar yarn.

Marion, the rest of the babies are sitting in the rocking chair and in their little bassinet. I’ll post a group photo soon—I promise.

Marlies, it really makes a huge difference how they’re dressed. It changes everything. As I said, a group photo of all of them is coming soon.

Wow, Marlies! You’re really outdoing yourself and working like crazy! You’ve made that so cute.
I’m in the garden right now and just finished the first diaper. I’ll start on the second one today. Juna will definitely need more than one for her doll baby. What will she do when one is full (pruuuust....)? 

Dear Ina, they definitely soften up. And with the oatmeal, you don’t need to pour out the water the next morning. The oatmeal absorbs it completely.

You’ll figure out your favorite version—the one that tastes best to you or to all of you. We experimented for a long time, too, before settling on this mixture.

Best regards from Monika

Oh Marlies, this has turned out so adorable again. You’ve made such a cute little baby with Rieke.

So, now my “daycare” is full. Baby No. 10 moved in over the weekend and has already settled in nicely. The little one (far left) is named Lara and is a real ray of sunshine—she spreads pure joy. Sternchen is also thrilled about her new little sister.

Here’s a photo taken after her arrival—together with Sternchen, Manuel, and Paula



And here I’ve already changed her clothes.

Andrea, my Lara has been here since Saturday, too. So Sternchen is thrilled to have this sweet little sister. Yes, I’ve named her Lara—it just seems to suit her so well. She’s such a ray of sunshine. I just have to look at her and I’m instantly in a good mood.

Here’s a photo from right after she arrived—together with Sternchen, Manuel, and Paula



And here I’ve already changed her clothes.

I’m really looking forward to the package, too—it should arrive at my place in the next few days.

You’ve done a really great job again, Inge. Awesome outfit with a matching bag.

With this knitting pattern, you can now dress a small 35–40 cm doll from head to toe. For the pants and hat, you can choose from several variations. For example, pants with feet attached—or with cuffs.

It's best to get started right away and give a little baby doll a new outfit (or the doll of a little doll mommy). Colorful leftover yarn can be used very nicely here.

With this knitting pattern, you can now knit a complete clothing set for small dolls measuring 35–40 cm. You can even choose from several variations, for example pants with or without feet, and a hat with or without a pom-pom.

It’s best to get started right away and give your doll (or a little doll mom’s doll) a new outfit. Also a great project for colorful leftover yarn.

Oh, that looks great, Sylvi, what you've picked out there. I'm really looking forward to the package! Of course, I'll report back on my finds.

Dear Ina,

we have been eating muesli in the morning for a very long time, containing the following ingredients:

sprouted buckwheat
sprouted sunflower seeds
soaked in the evening and drained in the morning
- chopped walnuts
then one tablespoon of our own mix of dry ingredients, consisting of:
- chia seeds
- briefly ground flaxseed
- psyllium husks

For the two of us, we then add chopped fruit, for example:
- apple, banana, orange, or seasonal fruit from the garden

Then we top it up with a little water and let it soak for 10 minutes.
Sometimes we add puffed amaranth on top.
We also mix in 2 tablespoons of homemade yogurt.

This has been what suits our bodies best for quite some time, and our gut is happy about it too.

One more tip about the oats, if you don’t want to give them up. It can also be enough to soak the oats overnight.

We do the sprouting in a sprouting jar. We also sprout other sprouts in it and then eat them in salads or on bread.

If you have any more questions about it, I’ll be happy to answer.

On the subject of an alkaline diet:

Grains, especially if they are not whole grains, as well as sugar, are the foods that make the body the most acidic.

Vegetables and fruit are the main alkaline foods. That makes up 3/4 of our diet.

Petra, yours looks great, too. The color combination is really something—I like it, too.

Marlies, that cake looks delicious. Great that it worked out. Learned something new again.

Oh Petra, that must be pretty time-consuming if you always have to sit right in front of it. I can’t imagine that’s much fun in the hot summer, though. There are definitely cozier places to knit.

I had a really delicious cake on the table today. It’s a “vegan cheese-cherry cake” that isn’t baked—it just has to chill in the fridge for 4 hours. I’m totally blown away by how delicious it tastes! It’s also raw vegan, so it’s a really healthy treat. Since we and our guests enjoyed it so much, I’ll definitely be making it more often. Here’s what it looked like on the table:

Dear Petra,

I wish you all the best on your birthday—many happy moments, joy, laughter, delicious food, and wonderful gifts.



Warmly
Monika

Wow, Andrea, you have a beautiful garden on your balcony. It definitely feels much cozier now. We also have lots of plants on our balcony, including vegetables.

Wow, Inge, your bears are getting better and better. This one is particularly beautiful. You can really tell it’s genuine handiwork.

Marlies, they all look super delicious. I would have loved to try the stracciatella cake with sour cherries, too. Hmmmm.

Washcloths and dishcloths are also a great way to use up leftovers. The peace dove is an eye-catching and especially beautiful symbol that also makes a lovely gift.

If you prefer something simpler, you can use this pattern to knit 6 different washcloths. Each one has a different design. Very easy, and suitable for beginners too.

Doll clothes, toys, or other small items—which I’d like to showcase here—are perfect for using up scraps. Colorful scraps are all you need for these projects.


This raglan doll dress (45–50 cm) is knitted from the scraps of an identical dress.

See the knitting pattern




For this raglan sweater, I used various leftover yarn. With this pattern, you can dress teddy bears or dolls of different sizes—whether they’re 25–30 cm or 40–50 cm tall.

To go with it, you can knit these overalls for dolls (43–50 cm). They even fit newborns.

A jumpsuit always looks cute; this one fits dolls or teddy bears that are 40–50 cm tall.

There’s also a jumpsuit made from leftover yarn for small teddy bears and dolls measuring 25–35 cm.

I knitted this colorful outfit set from the leftover yarn from a little skirt I made for the doll’s mom, for a doll measuring 45–50 cm.

This cute summer outfit also requires very little yarn. It fits dolls measuring 40–50 cm and even small newborns.

Every baby doll absolutely needs a colorful diaper—preferably lots of them. This is a great way to crochet lots of small leftover yarn, and they’re sure to bring a lot of joy. It’s quick and easy.

Little baby shoes are also easy to crochet from leftover yarn. Very simple to make.

Toddlers who play with a toy store will surely love this little shopping bag, filled with lemons and carrots. Very easy to make.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. The photos look great—awesome perspective.

Yes, Andrea, I’m more than happy to keep my fingers crossed for you. I hope you have a great time dancing!

Yes, that’s right, Andrea. We’ve already accumulated quite a collection. There’s still plenty more to come, because I never run out of ideas.

Dear Svenja,

All the best and everything wonderful on your birthday. Today you’re the star of the show, and you deserve to enjoy it to the fullest. Let everyone celebrate and spoil you.



Warm regards,
Monika

Dear binel,

today is your birthday—and you have a reason to celebrate. Let yourself be pampered and showered with gifts—with everything that brings you joy.



Best wishes,
Monika

That looks great, Petra. I’d be at my wits’ end with those dress-up dolls. I really don’t like fiddly little projects like that.

Marlies, of course we’d be happy to do that. My husband also prefers the red buttons because they add a splash of color. So we’ll go with the red ones. :)

Juna—or rather, her mom—has made a request. She’d like a shoulder bag just like Linja’s, with her name on it, for kindergarten and outings. Linja isn’t giving hers up, of course, so I’ll have to make another one. It’s quite a lot of work… phew. She won’t get it for her birthday, but later this summer, once it’s finished. I’ve already picked out colors for this labor-intensive project. The yarn for the diapers is already set aside too, because Juna loves changing diapers. Well, that’s going to be fun with the two of them. They’re playing so sweetly with their babies right now and carrying them in front of their tummies. There are still teddy bears inside for the moment, but soon they’ll both have the baby dolls. So that they both have almost the same baby, I’ll probably give Merlin to Linja too.

Yes, Marion, that fits very well. If you knit Mäxchen’s clothes with thinner yarn, it’ll definitely work out. The sweater’s a little loose on him, but it still looks fine. And the hat was a bit tight on Sternchen anyway. The pants were a bit short on Sternchen, so they fit great. But he’ll be getting his own clothes, too. The color worked well here, too—better than it would have for a girl.

Yes, Petra, I like that one best, too. This one fits my 50-cm-tall Tommi best. The 58-cm-tall Rosalie fits in it, too, but it’s a little tight on her. The great thing about raglan is that you can really play around with the size.

It’s finished in this form for now. I’m going to knit a hood onto it. I’ve just placed the buttons here for now—they still need to be sewn on. I can’t decide between red and orange… I think both look good.

Petra, I’m really interested in your chickpea bread. Do you have the recipe for it that you can share with us?

Oh Marlies, that’s too bad. Maybe you’ll still be able to make it on the grill.

On Sunday, I’m going to make a vegan no-bake cherry cake for our guests. If I manage to pull it off, I’ll show it to you here.

Thank you, and I hope everyone has a lovely, relaxing, and happy weekend, too. We’re having friends over on Sunday. I’m going to try making a new cake—let’s see how it turns out.

The peace dove is really trending right now. It looks especially lovely on a washcloth, dishcloth, or potholder. At the same time, you’re making a statement for peace in the world.

The pattern shows you how it’s done; you only need knit and purl stitches.

A great project for leftover yarn is doll clothes. For small baby dolls measuring 35–40 cm, this cute jacket with a matching hat can be knitted. The jacket is worked raglan from the top down.

Looking for a special gift for dear people? Then knit them this guest towel with lettering. You can see right away that it comes from the heart. With the pattern, it’s easy to make.

Andrea, I’ll definitely take a photo of my kindergarten group. By the way, I actually used to be a daycare provider for two little girls when my son was still little. That way, I could be at home for him, and he also felt like he had little siblings. It was a really wonderful time—I enjoyed it.

So mine are called:
Sternchen, Manuel, Tommi, Rosalie, Lena, Paula, then the quadruplets: Tim and Tina, Merle and Merlin.

Wow! Oh my gosh, that’s already 10!!! 

The photo will be coming soon, once they’re all sitting there fully dressed by me. 

Thanks, Inge and Ruth :))

Yeah, of course my husband has room—our couch is big. And most of them sit together in the rocking chair. It’s pretty funny with the “daycare.” But it’s quite possible that the little newcomer will be adopted by one of my granddaughters. We’ll see when they’re here. But for now, I’m really done. I’m going to steer clear of all the dolls—especially the ones that are so incredibly cute.

Oh, Andrea, it’s really lovely to be understood here. Yes, my doll-mum heart really is big. I just couldn’t leave the little one standing there all alone in the swap section. It was pure coincidence that I found her, too... I’m already excited.

No, I don’t need an extension yet. There’s always room for a little one like that. They have a corner of the sofa all to themselves, and the rest sit in the rocking chair. Our landlord was here the other day and just grinned... just between us, he still reads old Mickey Mouse comics... I’m always happy when I meet people who’ve kept the child inside them alive.

Good night, my dears

No, Marlies, I’m not so sure anymore. I think I need to stay away from anything that even remotely looks like cute doll babies. I just discovered a little sister for Sternchen in my swap group. Then she’ll get to look after two of them (at least for now).... Or maybe.... I’ll pass her on to my granddaughter. We’ll see...

Thanks, dear Ina! :)

Andrea, I really don’t want to say this… but guess what? I just spotted your Laura in my swap group… and adopted her without hesitation. So now Sternchen will soon get to be a big sister and look after a little brother and a little sister. I think she’ll like that. So, another one to dress up. (Not that I have anything else to do… grin).

Marlene, that sounds interesting. Is that a sample piece where you explained that?

I’m still working on the jacket for Tommi. Just one more sleeve and the hood, and it’ll be done—to match the pants.



By the way, Manuel arrived today—Sternchen’s little brother. I’ve started a separate thread for that—if anyone wants to check it out:
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/forum/topic/162470/sternchens-bruederchen-manuel-ist-da

Dear doll moms,

when I saw the little guy, it was love at first sight, and I just couldn’t resist… Manuel arrived today, so now Sternchen has a little brother who’s a perfect match for her. The two of them are already inseparable.

This is how Manuel arrived at my place (his hat had already been swapped out).



Of course, I changed his clothes right away. I actually found some clothes that fit him perfectly.



And here he’s getting to know Sternchen—the two of them are a perfect match.



Manuel is curiously taking in the world around him, and he’s sure to bring us a lot of joy. By the way, my husband was also amazed at how lifelike he looks.

Marlies, I’ll be looking specifically for yarn for my babies in the new swap package. I’ve accumulated so many clothes for them now that I’ve filled two whole drawers. Still, there aren’t enough options yet. When Juna comes over, she’s in her element—she’s totally into dressing and undressing dolls right now. That’s why she’s getting a baby doll with lots of clothes for her 3rd birthday.

Inge, I can totally imagine you forming a loving bond with your teddy bears—after all, you practically gave birth to them. I’ve been a teddy bear lover since I was a baby, and I still am today. I’ve only recently gotten into dolls, because back in the day, there weren’t any cute, soft dolls like there are now. They were always too stiff for me.

It’s so nice when we keep the child in us alive, no matter how. The main thing is that it brings us joy.

That’s the cutest teddy bear of all, Inge. It looks so adorable and cuddly. I wouldn’t want to part with it either.

This pattern shows you 6 different designs for dishcloths or washcloths. They can all be knitted very easily while doing something else.

A little skirt for 3- to 4-year-olds that can be knitted very easily from colorful cotton.

This children's slipover made from sock yarn is the perfect clothing for the transition season, when it’s neither cold nor warm outside. Advanced knitters will find it easy to knit. The size fits 6- to 7-year-olds. The slipover can be knitted for girls or boys.

This vest (size 40/42) has a slimming effect because it has vertical stripes and is slightly fitted at the waist. I knitted it in bouclé cotton, but any other yarn of the same weight can be used.

A scarf—or even a loop scarf—knitted from fine lace yarn or gradient yarn with a pattern that can be extended as desired. It offers many ways to wear it and is ideal for cool summer evenings.

I’d also like to send you some belated birthday wishes, omari. May the sun shine on you often in the coming year—both inside and out.

Oh Marlies, everything looks absolutely adorable. Your Rieke is going to need a whole closet soon. You’ve crocheted everything so beautifully.

Oh, I’m so happy, dear Ina, and I’m already so excited to see what beautiful things are inside again. I’ll be happy to share updates here and show photos.

Oh Andrea, those two are sooo adorable and are a perfect match. Your Kruemel looks really happy. I’m so happy for you. It’s so nice that your little one has a sibling now, too.

The baby bug is going around—yes, that’s so sweet of you to say. Today my Sternchen got a little brother; I’ll post about that later in a separate thread. They’re such a cute pair, too. And now my “kindergarten” is complete. I’m determined to keep it that way. ;-)
