If these cute egg cozies don’t bring you luck, then I don’t know what will...

These lucky piggy egg cozies are very easy to crochet, even for beginners. All you need is a bit of leftover yarn (I recommend cotton, such as Catania by Schachenmayr) in pink, black, white, and green, 3.0 mm and 2.0 mm crochet hooks, and some stuffing.

Quickly download the pattern here and you’re ready to go!

These fruit-shaped glass coasters are really super easy and quick to crochet. The trick is just finding the right colors—then they look almost like real fruit slices. In the garden, they can also be used as drink covers, because the hole in the middle fits a straw perfectly.

If you’d prefer fruit-shaped pot holders instead of coasters, just crochet a few more rounds and add a loop at the end. The pattern explains how to do this. Then you’ll have great matching pot holders (see the melon on the right in the picture)

The pattern is available here!

The reversible cowl Sofia is knitted using only knit and purl stitches.
You only need one skein of Sofia by Lanartus, so it's a quick project for in between.

These matching wrist warmers are very easy to knit. All you need is a few scraps of merino wool, and you’ll have warm hands all winter long. I even wear them sometimes while doing needlework.

A lovely project for beginners with basic skills.

This cozy poncho sweater is just the thing for beginner knitters who might be tired of knitting scarves and want to try something a little bigger.
The simple shape and the thicker yarn make it a relaxed and quick project. I’ve explained and illustrated every step in detail. Any yarn works for this!
One size (36–46); adjusting it to larger sizes is just as easy.

Robby the Seal



Click here for the pattern


Especially as a beginner, sewing individual pieces onto amigurumi is often difficult—so Robby the Seal is designed so that only the two front flippers need to be sewn on. The rest is crocheted in one piece. 

Want to get started right away? No problem, grab some yarn and a crochet hook in the right size and off you go. Whether you use thick or thin yarn, Robby will turn out larger or smaller accordingly.
As with most amigurumi, basic crochet skills are enough to be able to follow Robby’s pattern easily.

Have fun crocheting him!

This beautiful, soft triangular shawl with a lace pattern is wonderfully airy and light. It is crocheted from the side and is nearly symmetrical.
The pattern is super easy to work and really fun. Since you crochet almost exclusively under chain-stitch arches, it’s perfect to crochet on the side while chatting over coffee or watching TV. In the pattern
everything is explained in great detail, with step-by-step photos, text, and a crochet chart.

Very well suited for beginners.

Here’s the pattern
