Top 3 - The decorative tissue box with butterflies and hearts

You can use this to prettily hide those ugly tissue boxes. That way they can even sit on the dining table, because you need tissues everywhere, even while eating sometimes.

The box also makes a lovely gift idea, and you can use up lots of leftover yarn.

1. Colorful Bunnies
Quickly crocheted from leftover yarn and versatile to use, especially at Easter: as a lucky charm, bag charm, keychain, table decoration, for the Easter bouquet, as a plant stake, and so on and so on...

2. Cuddly Kitten
The black-and-white kitten becomes especially cuddly when you crochet it with fluffy yarn. But you can also use regular acrylic yarn.

3. Crocheted Shells
If you don’t have any real shells as decoration, just crochet some for yourself. Advantage: You can choose the colors, shapes, and sizes of your shells yourself. With this pattern, you can crochet 3 different models, all from leftover yarn!

1. Elegant Tablecloth
Elegant tablecloth (size: diameter approx. 40 cm) brings a cozy atmosphere to your home.

2. Colorful Easter EggsColorful Easter eggs – something small and beautiful for Easter. The simple Bruges lace crochet technique creates a lovely
spring freshness. An excellent window/door decoration for Easter or
also as a small gift! The Easter egg measures approx. 7 x 9 cm plus a loop of approx. 7 cm. Only a small amount of yarn is needed to make one Easter egg,
so these can be crocheted from leftover yarn. Ideal use for leftover yarn! :-)

3. Door / Window Wreath “Flower Wreath”A hand-crocheted flower/decorative wreath is a special eye-catcher in any home. A decorative piece for any door or entryway
suitable for every season, especially Easter. The wreaths shown (without decorative ribbon) measure approx. 20 cm x 17.5 cm. Have fun crocheting!

From 3rd place to 1st place:

3rd place

Dragon Tail Goban

Even beginners can make this simple knit-purl pattern.



2nd place

Midori Tablecloth

The approx. 64 cm tablecloth is suitable for advanced crocheters and is an ornament for any round table.


1st place

Crochet Doily

This illustrated pattern is suitable for advanced crocheters and only needs 35 g of yarn for a 2–2.5 mm crochet hook to become a small decoration on your table or dresser.

There’s been a change in my Top 3 since yesterday

So I’ll start today with No. 3



My Granny No. 5 has moved up to 3rd place.

A Granny is very versatile—it can be used as a blanket, a pillow, or an appliqué. This Granny matches the size of my other Grannies in my shop and rounds out the series. The pattern includes a crochet chart, and each round is described in writing. Lots of pictures illustrate the individual steps.



The knitted scarf “Night in Toronto” takes second place 

A great pattern worked in knit and purl stitches. The pattern is written in detail, so even beginners can manage it well with a little practice. I used a Rowan yarn with a length of 165 m. I used 300 grams.



My booties are still the frontrunners 

They’re knitted with a set of double-pointed needles, and the edging is crocheted at the end. Basic knowledge of knitting with double-pointed needles and of knit and purl stitches is required. Crochet skills: single crochet, chain stitches, and post double crochet.

These are my TOP 3 from January

 
Unchallenged in 1st place are my house socks/sneakers. Knitted very quickly and easily without a heel!
You can find the pattern here!

No. 2 is the value set for these cute cat socks in adult and children's sizes!
 Here’s the pattern for the cat shoes!

No. 3, finally, is my popular socks without a heel!

In 1st place is Rudolph - The Red-Nosed Moose. Admittedly a little out of season right now, but after Christmas is somehow before Christmas, too, and if you tend to need a bit longer to make something, you can go ahead and start now. Then Rudolph will either be finished before Christmas, or you can simply crochet him without the red nose as a moose :)

Here’s Rudolph

2nd place goes to the crinkle cloth in the Giraffe Glückskind design.

Here’s the crinkle cloth

And last but not least: 3rd place goes to the perennial favorite Mathilde the Unicorn - to crochet as a music box or cuddly toy:

Here’s the unicorn

All my patterns are suitable for ambitious beginners and I used a cotton yarn with a yardage of 125m/50g and a size 3 crochet hook for each one.

For more info, just take a look in my Shop or at the individual patterns!

Maritime door wreaths are my TOP 3

All patterns are beginner-friendly, written without abbreviations, and suitable for beginners. You’ll find exact material details in the patterns—just click on the respective image.

They are crocheted with chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet stitches, as well as half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet stitches.

TOP 1

welcome.

TOP 3
Crochet pattern “MOIN” / classically crocheted


MOIN - In Northern Germany, saying MOIN MOIN is already too much chatter—how about a short MOIN to greet your guests?
The pattern also includes the instructions for the knots.

Top 1
The heating pad cover in a hippo look is still No. 1 in my shop, and for good reason:
1.) The hippo is super cute :D

2.) The cover can be used not only for heating pads, but also for all kinds of little things, gifts, gift cards, etc.

3.) It can also be made into a stylish comfort blanket

4.) The crochet pattern is perfect for beginners, as it is described in great detail and includes pictures.
So: Grab your hook, get out your cotton yarn, buy the pattern, and get started ;)

Top 2

The super cozy knitted sweater takes second place because:
1.) the knitting pattern is super easy to follow 
2.) you can make a great sweater in no time from just 450g of yarn
3.) you don’t need to sew on the sleeves or knit them separately, because they’re included right away. 
You only knit 2 pieces and sew the edges together afterward.
 So, now grab the pattern, get yourself a size 7 circular knitting needle and fluffy yarn, and get started!

Top 3

Third place goes to the value pack of “Hippo and Koala” heat pad covers.
I’ve already explained above why the hippo is so great. But the koala is just as cute, and the two of them together make for double the crocheting fun!

For the covers, I used cotton yarn and a size 3 crochet hook. You’ll find out what else you need in the pattern description! 

Top 1 - Cloverleaf Egg Cozy
a must-have for all unicorn fans

Top 2 - Nassima Summer Scarf

The patterns are, as always, written in a beginner-friendly way, i.e. with lots of informative photos and detailed descriptions, so you can easily crochet these items yourself.

The number 1 item in my shop is this beautiful triangular shawl
It is airy and light, yet elegant and wonderfully soft for snuggling up and feeling good. It is easy to crochet—making it absolutely suitable for beginners and an absolute classic.

Here is the pattern



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

Second place goes to the sweet and versatile little wings
You can use these lovely wings / angel wings as tree decorations, gift tags, decorations for an Advent wreath, table decor, keychains, etc.

The wings are quick to crochet and look very beautiful from both sides (the back looks almost like stockinette stitch).

You will receive a detailed PDF pattern with text and numerous step-by-step photos, so it is also doable for beginners.

Here is the pattern



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

Third place belongs to these sweet little angels
These pretty ornaments are used not only at Christmas time (e.g., as tree decorations, gift tags, decorations for an Advent wreath or table decor) but also throughout the year as
little guardian angels, lucky charms, keychains, for the car, etc.
 
Here is the pattern

My snowflakes  are still in 3rd place .



The 18 snowflake templates are designed for tissue paper or similarly thin paper. The finished snowflakes are about 20 cm in size and are cut from folded squares of paper. The instructions use drawings and descriptions to explain how it all works, and they also include a folding guide.

At No. 2 are still these 10 little folding boxes (decorated here for Valentine’s Day). They’re all glued in just one spot, are quick and easy to make, and are therefore perfect even for crafting beginners. 



You can make them in advance and, when folded flat, store them in a very space-saving way.

My No. 1 is still my Advent calendar.



The Advent calendar is made of photo cardstock and measures approximately 28 x 4.5 x 32 cm. The individual boxes measure approximately 4.5 x 4.5 x 7.8 cm, are glued in just one spot, and are otherwise held together with three tabs. The calendar is very easy to make and is also suitable for beginners.
