Of course, there is also a cover for the large tissue box—with decorations made of butterflies and hearts. It’s a real classic and can be used in many different ways. In different color combinations, for example, to match your décor.

Tip for the environmentally conscious: Instead of napkins, simply place this pretty box on the dining table. It’s always a hit with us, because then a tissue is quickly at hand, too.

My husband came up with the idea of crocheting these earpads for his headphones, and he’s still very happy with them. They’re much more comfortable on the ears than the usual foam ones. That would make an ideal Father’s Day gift.

Very easy and quick to crochet if you know the basics and can crochet in the round.

Is Mom one of those people who’s always cold? Then she’ll surely love a microwavable heat pack in a pretty cover. It heats up in the microwave in just a few minutes and stays wonderfully warm for a long time.

The heart-shaped cover measures about 20 x 20 cm. The front features a bobble stitch pattern, while the back consists entirely of single crochet stitches. This allows you to control how much heat is released.
The popcorn stitch is explained in detail in the pattern. It’s very simple, and the increases and decreases are quite regular, so even beginners with a little crochet experience can easily make this pillow. It’s crocheted using cotton yarn (e.g., potholder yarn or Catania Grande).

This is just a small door wreath (12 cm in diameter) that you can crochet from some leftover yarn and that fits anywhere. The base is a small Styrofoam wreath that’s crocheted over with white cotton yarn. Then it’s decorated with little hearts, tiny roses, and pearls in shades of pink. Isn’t that a lovely little surprise for Mother’s Day? Click here for the pattern!

Is Dad a soccer fan? Then he’ll definitely love the soccer mascot Tooorsten!

You can crochet him in the colors of Germany, as shown in the picture, or in the colors of Dad’s favorite soccer club. Tooorsten isn’t hard to crochet. He’s essentially made up of hexagons and pentagons. The pattern explains in detail—with plenty of pictures—how to sew them together.

Want a smaller mascot? Then crochet the little soccer panda keychain, Pauli.

Pauli can also be crocheted in Dad’s favorite club colors or in the colors of Germany. All you need is a few pieces of leftover yarn. Find the pattern here: Crochet Soccer Panda Pauli!

Mom is sure to love a few pretty decor ideas for the bathroom, too!

First up is the original cotton ball dispenser, Wolli the Bunny. The cotton balls are stored inside his belly, and you can easily fill him up through the zippered opening at his neck. To remove a cotton ball, simply pluck off his little tail (the cotton ball). A new one pops right out immediately. Isn’t that a cute idea?
Crochet Wolli to match the colors in your bathroom! You can find the pattern here: Wolli Cotton Ball Dispenser!



The blue tissue box cover featuring ocean waves, seashells, and crabs is an ideal and practical decorative element for any bathroom. It neatly hides those often unsightly cardboard boxes.
You can crochet the box in any size you like.
Here is the pattern: Crochet a Tissue Box Cover.

Especially for these special days, a handmade gift is
something truly SPECIAL!
Anyone who loves hand-knitted socks can never get enough of them.

Crochet Pattern: Heart Pendant

What’s a must-have for Mother’s Day? A handmade heart—crocheted here with care and anticipation—and then given as a gift with lots of love. For example, you could secretly sprinkle it with your mom’s favorite perfume in the bathroom; then it would make the perfect scented pendant for her closet.

You only need a little material for the heart—you’re sure to find it in your scrap bin. Small effort, big impact ;-)

I hope you have lots of fun with this project—Yours, Ina

Knitted Wrist Warmers

Here’s another wonderful idea for Mother’s Day: hand-knitted wrist warmers. They’re very trendy right now and will always be a staple in spring and fall. They look really cool with a leather jacket and are very practical. You’ll always have just the right amount of dexterity for whatever you’re doing—and your hands will stay warm. You can also just wear them at home while using the computer when it’s a little chilly and you just want to pamper your hands a bit.

The knitting pattern is also suitable for beginners who already know how to knit with a set of double-pointed needles and want to try their hand at a cable pattern. I’ll explain and show you everything in detail. You’ll find more examples, information, and the pattern by clicking on the title.

I hope you enjoy this project—Ina

Felt Boots with Turn-Down Cuff

Now here’s something for the dads! Namely, beautiful, thick, warm felt boots. Anyone who has a pair can count themselves lucky. They’re ultra-comfortable, nothing pinches, and they don’t absorb odors. They feel wonderfully soft underfoot and keep your feet pleasantly warm. You can knit them in any size using my pattern. So you could make something practical not just for dads, but for the whole family and friends. The washing machine takes care of the felting process quite easily. The pattern explains how to do it all, from start to finish. Feel free to read through the 206 reviews. You’ll definitely want to give it a try yourself. But be careful—it’s a little addictive.
