Victor the scarecrow is a wonderful fall decoration for your flower bench! Victor is about 35 cm tall and can be placed in a flowerpot with a stick. His hair, arms, and legs are made from natural raffia; the rest is crocheted from colorful cotton yarn (preferably leftover yarn). You’ll find the exact quantities in the pattern’s product text.

Oh dear, the little fly agaric baby has fallen over! It’s still quite clumsy and unsteady on its feet. Good thing its big sister is nearby and immediately helps it up comfortingly and takes it in her arms. Now the two of them set off together and go looking for (other) mushrooms in the forest :)

You can easily crochet these two little mushroom children from leftover yarn in white, red, and apricot, and then you’ll have a beautiful decoration for fall. The large mushroom child has bendable arms and legs because they have chenille wire inside. This lets it take on different positions, and you can recreate real little scenes.

This tea light holder beautifully combines a very decorative, delicate autumn leaf with a tea light container. I used leather paper for the holder, but it can also be made from photo cardstock.



The tea light holder is approximately 16 x 19 cm in size, very easy to make, and also ideal for beginners who can handle a craft knife well.

A tissue box cover decorated with butterflies and hearts is a must-have in every home. I’ve given it as a gift many times, and it has brought a lot of joy.

You can crochet it in any color combination you like—it’s also a great way to use up leftover yarn.

Easy to crochet, even for beginners (with basic skills).

A big hit—especially with children—is this door decoration with a very special and popular function. The bear and the owl clearly show whether the room may be entered or not.

Also very useful if there are toddlers in the house, because then, for example, bathroom keys are off-limits.

Easy to crochet, fun to make, and you’re sure to score points with your family at Christmas.

Note: Both patterns are also available individually.

If you want to give a potted poinsettia as a gift, you can use this pattern to crochet the perfect gift wrapping. This gives you a completely unique and personally crocheted extra that’s sure to be admired.

Easy to crochet and quick to finish. The star-shaped scatter decorations are included in the pattern. You can use them perfectly as table decorations or hang them on the Christmas tree.

This sweet little gnome keeps your window open even when there’s a draft. Thanks to the practical hanging loop on his feet, he can easily be hung on the window handle when not in use.
If you don’t have the heart to wedge him into your window gap, you can of course also use him as decoration for door wreaths, gift tags...!
He is crocheted from cotton yarn (125m-50g). With the help of the very detailed written and illustrated pattern, experienced beginners can crochet a sweet little gnome too!

The Akiba basket set is both decorative and functional.

Akiba consists of three baskets in different sizes, all in autumnal colors.

On Halloween, the evening before All Saints' Day, many spooky figures are up to mischief. Little ghosts fly around, cheerfully carved pumpkins stand in front of houses, and spiders busily build their webs.

With this crochet pattern, you can crochet covers for various jars.

The 9-page pattern guides you row by row to the finished project. For this pattern, I chose a pickle jar with a circumference of 30 cm and a height of about 11.5 cm. This pattern is also suitable for experienced beginners, as it only uses single crochet, chain stitches, double crochet, treble crochet, and slip stitches. It includes both a crochet chart and written instructions for each row, stitch by stitch.
