The socks with the brilliantly simple mowi heel and knitting with 3 needles have already delighted many users. Just give it a try. You can do it too, even if you’ve never knitted socks before.

Many users are also delighted with this colorful little skirt. It fits 4-year-olds and is easy to knit.

Wow, Ina, I’m going to do that too. Thanks for the great tip!

I make counting rows while knitting easier by marking every 10th row with a piece of yarn, for example here on the sleeves.

Thanks, Josefa! :)
I also wish you and all the visitors here a lovely, cozy weekend. Right now, I’m really enjoying dressing up my granddaughters’ little dolls. I still have a few ideas waiting to be put into action.

These dishcloths/washcloths are knitted from scraps of recycled cotton. The pattern includes 6 different designs, so everyone can easily identify their own washcloth. Also well-suited for beginners.

To the knitting pattern




This popular gift for toddlers with a play shop can also be crocheted using recycled yarn. The bag can then be filled right away with lemons and carrots. All the pieces are very easy to crochet.

This mini sleeping bag for small cuddly toys—teddy bears, dolls, and others—can also be knitted quickly and easily from various scraps. Every toddler will love it and will be much more eager to go to bed. Here you’ll find a pattern for 2 different models.

There are also a few designs for adults that are very popular in my shop:

For the older siblings (3-5 years), of course, there are also leggings made from sock yarn. The ideal clothing for winter, keeping them nice and warm outdoors too.

These leggings are also very popular and easy to make. They fit from 1.5 years to at least 3 years.

One of the most popular designs in my shop is this convertible pinafore dress, which actually fits for several years—from 1.5 years onward.

Go to the knitting pattern




If you’re looking for a gift for a toddler that’s very easy to crochet and fun to make, this would be a lovely idea. It’s a bag for a pretend grocery store, filled with lots of lemons and carrots.

Go to the crochet pattern

Petra, I have those stitch markers too, but I only use them for crochet projects. They’re too thick for me otherwise. Loops made of yarn work better. Tell me how you’re getting along with them.

I have to say, it’s really fun to see all the beautiful swap yarns that are making their way around here. Let’s see what lovely things arrive at Ina’s.

In any case, I’m always in. That much is certain.

Yes, very cute and something completely different for a change.

Inge, that’s so cute. I’d totally mistake it for a teddy bear. Very cuddly, anyway.

These are the overall Top 3 in my shop:


Top 1 – Socks with the simple mowi heel and 3 needles – knitting pattern (see above)


Top 2 – Colorful skirt for girls aged 3–4 – knitting pattern (see above)


Top 3 – Convertible pinafore skirt, fits from age 1.5 for quite a long time – knitting pattern

The current Top 3 in my shop

Top 1 - Socks with the ingeniously simple mowi heel, knitted with 3 needles - knitting pattern




Top 2 - Knitting pattern for dishcloths / washcloths in 6 different patterns




Top 3 - Knitting pattern for a colorful skirt for 3- to 4-year-olds

Yes, Petra, the revisions really do take that long—I’ve experienced that myself.
Did you find a hedgehog nest? The hedgehogs are already awake here, too, and we’ve started feeding them. We haven’t actually seen them yet, though.

I’d also classify this timeless men’s vest as retro. With its rustic cable pattern, it’s suitable for young and old alike. The pattern is for size 48/50. The pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters.

To the knitting pattern

Petra, you always have such great ideas for turning simple things into gifts. Spring on the wall—just amazing! Did you use glass tubes for that?

Steffi, your cat is a real hit. Your furry friends have some serious competition now. Do you think she’ll stay “in one piece”? (By the way, I sent you a PM.)

Andrea, I hope you have a relaxing start to your workday. You really don’t have an easy job. You certainly have my utmost respect for that.

I’m going to get back to dressing the little baby dolls. Once I’ve dressed one completely, I’ll post a photo.

Wow, Petra, you’ve picked out some lovely treasures there. I like them, too. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with them.

Yes, Andrea, that’s how we admire each other. I really admire your delicate little crochet projects. I just don’t have the patience for that. You always do it so precisely.

Christina, your little jacket turned out very pretty. It’s wonderful that little Selina brings you so much joy. You really need to enjoy this time—it goes by so fast. Fingers crossed.

Marlene, your Easter decoration looks interesting. What is it, exactly? I can’t quite make it out.

These 6 cloths are each knitted in a different pattern using knit and purl stitches. They’re perfect as dishcloths or washcloths, and of course they also make a nice gift idea.

Even beginners can easily knit these cloths.

Go to the knitting pattern

Your teddy bear is so cute, Inge. He’ll be the best friend of a child who will love him.

Sandra, I also like the two flower pieces better than the egg.
You always come up with such lovely ideas. The clown basket turned out really cute. Great idea!
The tunic is knitted from light beige mottled wool. Unfortunately, it doesn’t show up very well in the photo.

Well, I’ve learned something new again—and at almost 68 years old. I’ve never seen one like that before.

Dear Silvimaus,

for your birthday, I wish you lots of joy and everything on your wish list. May this new year of your life be a good one for you.



Warm
regards, Monika

Happy birthday from me too, and a joyful year ahead!



Best wishes
Monika

For babies and toddlers, these patterns are a truly heartfelt gift. That’s because little hearts are knitted into each one. They make perfect gifts for a newborn or for a child’s first few birthdays.

For those who prefer crocheting:
Of course, a baby also needs warm little booties. These are guaranteed to be crocheted with love, as you can see from the little heart.

This tissue box with butterflies and hearts is sure to be well received for Mother’s Day and birthdays too. It’s very easy to crochet and only requires a few colorful scraps.

And this small pouch for 10 tissues, which is an accessory for your handbag. It’s also very eco-friendly.

I can confirm all of this and use these techniques myself. For example, the garter stitch pattern in this little pinafore dress.



I also like to use garter stitch for the cuffs on jackets. That way, you don’t have to knit them on later, and the jacket holds its shape well. In the following example, the top button placket and the cuffs on the sleeves and legs are all knitted in garter stitch.

If you haven’t knitted the socks with the brilliantly simple mowi heel yet, you absolutely have to give it a try. Then knitting socks is sure to be fun for you. With 3 needles, the CraSyTrio, it’s even easier to do.

Now in the transitional season, a shoulder warmer like this is simply indispensable. It also looks very pretty as a cowl under other garments. Best of all, it’s very easy to knit.

Wow, Julia, you’ve picked out some lovely yarn. I really like a few of them, too. And I’m excited to see what you’ll show us here once you’ve turned it into something.

It’s really exciting to watch the package transform again and again.

Have a wonderful, peaceful week, everyone.

Steffi, your sweater looks really nice now. You absolutely have to finish knitting it. You’re going to love it.

Anja, I’m looking forward to seeing your crocheted wrap jacket when it’s done. The colors are very pretty.

And here’s a photo of the tunic I’ve started. It still needs a little work...



Have a wonderful sunny Sunday, everyone!

Warm regards from Monika

Ruth, I also think that sweater looks great on you. It looks really fluffy. However, if it’s made of synthetic material, I wouldn’t be able to wear it. I’m allergic to that.

Hey there, everyone, I’m back again. I just took a quick look at all the lovely things you’ve been making. Wow, that’s quite a lot. I just haven’t had a chance to catch up on the posts here lately. Now I’ll be sticking around for a while. I do miss this group, after all.

Marlene, your tulip is a lovely idea. And they turned out really pretty. Those kinds of fiddly little projects aren’t really my thing either. Your new tablecloth looks great in the photo.

Petra, your doll’s hat has a really pretty pattern. One of your photos gave me the idea that it would also work well for the waistband of a little skirt. And the ball for your grandson turned out great, too. Oh, and you knitted a second hat—that one’s great, too.

Christina, your dinosaur scarves are a real pop of color. Kids love stuff like that.
Both dishcloths look fantastic. Each one is a work of art in its own right.

Tina, your baby mobile with the balloons is a very special idea for a baby shower.

Andrea, your bunnies turned out absolutely adorable. If they’re your own design, I’d say you could write patterns with all your great ideas.

Sandra, you always have such lovely ideas, too. Anton still seems to love the fire department. A great idea for Carnival—and a very original one at that. All the pieces look fantastic. Your cutlery pouches, too.

Steffi, your craft projects are amazing!! You do such a great job and have so much patience. I’m amazed! What do your four-legged friends think of the new competition? Maybe a new love interest for your cat?

Oh, Ines, it’s so wonderful that you get to be a grandma. Enjoy it, because the time when they’re this little goes by so fast. Your rug is absolutely amazing!! Awesome! I think it’s really beautiful even without the fringes.

Anja, I’d like to congratulate you on your silver wedding anniversary! I had that pleasure 5 years ago—it’s already been 30 years. Back then, a lot of people told us it wouldn’t work out. And look how well it turned out—and still is going!
You want to know how to stick to a “wool diet” for so long? It’s simple—just close your eyes and go for it whenever there’s a wool sale somewhere. Don’t look left or right while you’re at it. And then… think about the huge stash you have at home. But honestly—I have more now than I did before. ;-) That’s just how it is with the yo-yo effect and wool addiction. I own it.

Ruth, you’re always coming up with something new. I’m amazed again!! These are such pretty little bags.

Okay, now I’m done—at least with all the photos—and I’ve read a lot, too.

In the meantime, I’ve gotten quite a bit done. Maybe you’ve already seen the bunny washcloths in the gallery. Here’s the second one. I’m giving them to my grandkids for Easter.




And right now I’m in the middle of knitting something simple—namely, the tunic that Marion also knitted. I’m already looking forward to wearing it. I’ll take a photo tomorrow.

I’ve finished the slipover for Linja, which she’ll get for her birthday.



I also have a sweater for the little baby doll on my needles… I’m working on a variety of projects again.

Oh no, Ina, that doesn’t look good. Maybe it can still be repaired—or you could build a new storm-proof one. I’m sure you have some ideas about what the replacement could look like.

Everything here stayed intact, thankfully. But the storm isn’t over yet—it’s set to hit again on Sunday.

The nice thing is that spring is slowly arriving. Colorful little flowers are popping up everywhere, and the temperatures are pleasant—at least enough to get a taste of what’s to come. The pigeons are already starting to build their nests around here. And the hedgehogs are probably waking up these days, too, and would love some food.

This cozy newborn jacket is knitted in a country style. It has a hood and a pretty heart lace pattern. The jacket fits up to approx. 4 months, and later it will fit a doll.

Andrea, you’re knitting??? That’s a real highlight! The fluffy yarn actually inspired you to knit. Awesome! I haven’t tried that with fluffy yarn yet. Crocheting with it was a disaster.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend with yarn and needles—or whatever else you enjoy doing.

Yeah, Petra, writing patterns is a bit of a struggle for me, too... I have to somehow motivate myself to do it. Knitting and designing are definitely more fun. ;-)

Oh dear, Ina, that doesn’t sound so good—the storm where you are. You folks up north really aren’t having it easy right now. It was pretty rough here in the south yesterday, but luckily everything turned out okay.

I always follow along to see where the package is and what kinds of treasures you’re finding in it. So exciting!

Have a peaceful weekend and snuggle up in your home.

Very nice! I especially like the blue skirt at the bottom with the pretty lace trim.

If you’re looking for a colorful and very simple leftover yarn project, then these dishcloths and washcloths are just the thing. They’re quick to knit and make great gifts, too.

To the knitting pattern




Small dolls up to 36 cm are a favorite among many toddlers. Of course, they also need a warm sleeping bag, since they come to bed with the kids at night.

You can knit this one quickly and easily from leftover yarn, and you’re sure to have fun doing it.

To the knitting pattern




And I have an idea for those very small, colorful scraps, too. This diaper fits dolls that are 43–50 cm tall and can be crocheted in no time. Toddlers love them and will definitely need several of them.

To the crochet pattern

Yeah, I agree, Inge. You should write patterns. Your designs are always so beautiful. This one is no exception.

Dear Gauga,

I’d also like to extend my warmest congratulations on your very special birthday and wish you all the best, good health, and plenty of happy moments.



Warm regards,

Petra, your teddy bears are really cute. I once tried crocheting one out of plush yarn and couldn’t get the hang of it at all.

Now I’m also curious to see how this unfolds and what will eventually arrive at Ina’s.

Dear Stephanie,

belated happy birthday and all the best for the year ahead.

Very beautiful pictures—thanks for sharing. They really put me in a springtime mood. Andrea, your sunrise photos remind me of your gorgeous photos from Norway. The sky there was simply one of a kind.
