Dear users, dear authors,
If you’d like to download the best patterns for fall, Halloween, winter, Advent and Christmas right now, you can get started right here in this thread. Have fun.

@Authors,
No quantity limit.
Don’t forget the link and image, as well as the usual information.

Rudolph - The Red Nosed Moose is actually an ordinary moose, but at Christmas time he shows up with a red nose :)
If you know that you tend to take a little longer to work through a pattern, you could start now, and you’ll definitely be finished in time.

The floppy animal can be filled with various elements—for example, with rattles, crinkle foil, or little bells , and there’s even room inside for the mechanism for a music box.


   Here’s the pattern

The pattern is suitable for ambitious beginners and I’m happy to answer any questions. 

I crocheted it with a cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m/50 g and a size 3 crochet hook . For more info, see here.

Have fun crocheting!

A few ideas for Halloween:

A spooky decoration for Halloween is, of course, a must! If you work with lighting effects, it’s especially impressive!


This great skull lantern is made from an empty jam jar that has been crocheted around with black yarn. You can fill it with candy and bring it as a gift to a Halloween party. Once the candy has been eaten, place an LED light inside and you’ll have a wonderfully spooky lantern!
You can find the pattern here!




The glowing eyes of the little bats are the LED lights of a string of lights. The bats are very quick and easy to crochet. Attached to a string of lights, they make a great window decoration. But they also look great hung up individually or as a mobile.
Here’s the pattern for the bats!




For a children’s Halloween party, you can crochet these cute ghost finger puppets or the little witch as table decorations and give them to the children at the end as a small keepsake. They are quick to crochet and lots of fun!
Here are the two ghosts!

And here’s the pattern for the little witch!





The ghost bookmark is also quick and super easy to crochet, and it makes a great keepsake from the spooky party. On the long dark evenings that follow in winter, you can curl up in bed with a book of scary stories. And if you fall asleep over it, the next day you’ll always know where you left off!

If you’d like to have a beautiful, handmade crocheted nativity scene for Christmas, you might want to start now in the summer. There are 3 patterns for it in my shop. You can crochet all the figures using leftover yarn you already have.

 1. Holy Family, ox, donkey, poinsettia


2. Shepherds, sheep, angel of the Annunciation


3. Three Wise Men with their pack animals

It’s best to crochet yourself a whole basket of these fun Advent Knobblys right away!
Because once people see them, they’ll want them :-)

As always, the Knobblys are described in detail and illustrated with plenty of photos.

Crochet pattern: Advent Knobblys

In fall, it gets gloomy outside again, so a beautiful fall door wreath like this is just what you need!
With its warm colors and cute autumn motifs, it creates a wonderful atmosphere ...

The Fall Door Wreath crochet pattern is very detailed and includes lots of step-by-step photos!

 Colorful piles of leaves are typical for fall. Nothing special, really, but two super-sweet hedgehogs live in this pile of leaves!

During the day, the two snuggle up cozily in their den, and at night they go in search of tasty snails and really fill their bellies once more before winter comes.

Don’t worry, they don’t prick, because they are crocheted from cotton and sock yarn!
If you’d like to have a cute hedgehog decoration this fall too, all you need are a few cotton and sock yarn scraps and my detailed pattern. 

Here’s the pattern and all the details

Start the Advent calendar for the kids now with these cute gnomes. The crowning touch on Christmas Eve is the gnome house. The gnomes can be crocheted in different sizes, and lots of little treats fit inside. The gnome house can then be filled with a larger gift.

It's best to start now. Even beginners with crochet experience will enjoy this. 
And another advantage: You can use up lots of leftover yarn for gnomes. ;-)

Here is the crochet pattern for the value set Gnome Family with Gnome House

The gnomes and the house are also available individually.

Fall is sure to come. And then it will be leggings season again for small children. They keep them nice and warm and are also really comfortable, just the right thing for playing outside.

These leggings are easy to knit if you have knitting experience and the basic skills mentioned. There are no seams.

With this decorative wrapping, the poinsettia (potted flower) looks even more beautiful. It’s very easy to crochet, even for beginners with some crocheting experience.

It also makes a great gift. The pattern for the scatter decorations is included.

This balaclava keeps babies and toddlers nice and warm around the neck and head. To make it easier to put on and take off, it buttons up at the front.

Easy to knit, even for beginners with some knitting experience.

This poncho made from soft sock yarn is super practical and comfortable. If it gets a little cooler, just slip it on. Your hands stay free, so heat doesn’t build up. By the way, the poncho is also very useful on cool summer evenings and easy to take along. It fits into practically any handbag.

Easy to knit, even for beginners with knitting experience.

Klemmi the Window Elf



When windows slam shut in the fall or winter, “Klemmi” the Window Elf comes to the rescue!

This little helper not only fits perfectly into the window slot, but also protects the frames from damage caused by hard objects that people usually stick into the slot (like wooden spoons or similar items).
Thanks to the loop on his foot, he can be conveniently hung on the window handle, so he’s always within reach.

If you can’t bring yourself to clip him into the window, here’s a little tip: He also feels right at home on door wreaths, incorporated into window decorations, or on the Christmas tree ;)
