The “Heart Within a Heart” is meant to say: “I always carry you in my heart.” It’s easy to crochet on the go, since it’s not difficult and you only need a little yarn. Use it as a decoration for a romantically set table—for example, on Valentine’s Day (with a cutlery pouch and coaster)—or give it as a small gift “just because” to a loved one.

The nostalgic “Coffee Cup” pot holder isn’t hard to crochet. You just need to know how to do single crochet and double crochet. The bobble stitch pattern for the white dots is explained in detail in the pattern.
The pot holder is crocheted in double layers so you can slip your hand inside. (If you’re less patient, just crochet a single layer.)

When I'm on the go, I take knitting projects with me that only need 1–2 skeins of yarn and are small enough to fit in a handbag or a belt pouch. Because I admit it: even on a walk along the beach, I have my knitting with me—you never know when an unexpected opportunity might come up, e.g. while enjoying a coffee or sitting in a beach chair, on a park bench, or on the train or in the car, to knit a few more rows... You know me—small projects usually means for me: ARM WARMERS and WRIST WARMERS!
So here are a few inspirations for you:


FEATHERS & LINES - Delicate mitts with a very varied pattern progression, because after all, even small projects shouldn't get boring! All yarns in sock-yarn weight are suitable; my favorites here are relatively smooth merino yarns, which show off the patterns beautifully! They are a charming accessory for special moments.
You can find the knitting pattern here: Arm Warmers FEATHERS AND LINES


  
The LOTUS arm warmers - they wrap around the hand like a calyx - and the best part: these arm warmers can be worn inside out or right side out, because the patterns are beautiful on both sides and each has its very own look and effect. So you get, as it were, 2 designs in one!
And here is the knitting pattern: Arm Warmers LOTUS


  
And finally, the HIGHLAND MITTS arm warmers - with a rustic Celtic cable pattern on the top and a simple rib pattern on the underside that ensures a perfect fit. The pattern includes 2 versions: one with a wide fold-over cuff and a knitted-on thumb—which is also suitable for men's hands—and a more delicate version with a thumb hole. Made from ultra-soft alpaca yarn, a dream for your hands!
The knitting pattern for 3 sizes is available here: HIGHLAND MITTS

So, now you're spoiled for choice—or you can knit all 3 designs right away; after all, you can never have enough arm warmers!
In any case, happy knitting,
Annette

Crochet pattern for egg cozy hens - so beautifully retro
Who doesn't remember these cute egg cozy hens, the kind Grandma often used to have. I made them with bulky yarn and modified them a bit, and I'm completely in love with the sweet feathered friends. 
They are quick and easy to make and also make a wonderful gift or little souvenir.
