Every soccer fan simply must have the soccer mascot Tooorsten!
Crochet him in your team’s colors or in the colors of Germany—whatever you like.

Tooorsten isn’t hard to crochet, since he’s essentially made up of hexagons and pentagons. Sewing the pieces together requires a bit of patience, but you’ll get a detailed plan showing how the individual parts fit together.
Tooorsten can be crocheted from leftover yarn. You’ll need 20 g each of black and white cotton yarn (I used Catania by Schachenmayr, LL 50 g / 125 m) and scraps in your team’s colors.

You can download the crochet pattern right here!

Crocheted bookmarks are always a hit with bookworms, especially when they’re original and match the theme of the book.

Crochet pattern for a granny square. 

Whether for a pillow, a blanket, or as an appliqué, a granny square is quick to crochet and also the ideal crochet project for on the go. 

Whether colorful in many colors or, as here, in one main color, there are many possibilities.

The pattern is explained in writing round by round and also shown as a crochet chart. I crocheted my granny square with a cotton yarn with 125 m yardage.

Knitting pattern for a hat in 8 sizes.

Winter still has us firmly in its grip, so why not knit another new hat?

For the small hats, 50 grams of yarn is enough; for the large hats, you’ll need about 1.5 skeins. I used yarn with a yardage between 108 and 130 m per 50 g and size 3.5 knitting needles.

The hat is knitted with a set of double-pointed needles, and the interlaced pattern is explained in detail with pictures.

Here you’ll find the pattern for the hat, which fits head circumferences of approximately 30–55 cm.
