You should be familiar with single crochet, chain stitches, slip stitches, and double crochet.

Socks are always needed. If you haven’t felt like knitting any so far, the mowi heel might just change that in a flash. It’s actually really easy.

Four different sizes are described step by step, so you can knit these socks with ease. I used the CraSy Trio (3 needles) here. But you can also knit them with a standard set of double-pointed needles.

Kids like to be warm and comfortable. Warm leggings, for example made from sock yarn, are simply ideal for that. If you have a little knitting experience, it’s really easy. Everything is explained clearly.

Of course, you can mix and match the motifs and handle variations, for example by making a bag with a heart motif and long handles, or the bag with the “Love” lettering as a shopping net with short handles.
In my shop, you can of course also purchase the patterns for the bags individually.

My bracelets made from PET bottles are quick and unusual gifts — they’re super comfortable to wear because they’re very light and flexible.
Here I’ll show you a special method for making these stylish bangles quickly and easily with just a few materials.

Thanks to the flexible and lightweight material, the bangles are very comfortable to wear. The bangles are washable at 30 degrees in a laundry bag.

All you need is an old PET bottle and some wool — and in no time at all, you’ll have a truly unique piece of jewelry. Also great as a gift or a little something to bring along.

Here I have an excellent Christmas gift that will definitely keep your child busy for a while!




The Mila doll is about 25.6 cm tall and only needs to be printed out, glued onto sturdier paper, and cut out. For the starter set, you can also download my summer and autumn collection right away. You can craft even more clothes together with your child! All you need for that is paper, colored pencils, scissors, and a little imagination and drawing talent. 

The cozy “Zandvoort” winter hat is a great Christmas gift for the whole family! The pattern is easy to follow and even explains the two-color knitting technique step by step :) A lovely project to bring joy to a loved one!

The Ocean Breeze Back Scrubber Shower Strap makes a lovely gift, also for men from the “I already have everything” and “I don’t need anything” crowd ;-)

The back scrubber shower strap is a very practical aid for daily personal care—not at all just for people with limited physical mobility, but for anyone who likes comfort. Plus, the back scrubber is a lovely eye-catcher in the bathroom and can be crocheted in colors to match the decor.

The pattern is also perfect for beginners, because it only uses chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches worked in continuous rounds. So super easy!



You can find the pattern for the back scrubber shower strap here

A loving little extra gift for people who are dear to you is the little guardian angel with the big heart.

The angel also works beautifully as a gift tag, keychain, bag charm, and even as a Christmas tree ornament.

The pattern includes not only the threading diagram, but also a detailed pattern with step-by-step photos, so you can easily make the angel yourself.
