Shop now and get started right away.

@Authors,
you can present your three current Top 3 and the overall Top 3 here, so up to 6 patterns in total. You can find these by sorting accordingly on your shop page using the small gray arrow. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

My all-time Top 3 - NOW WITH 20% BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT:

The pattern for the cute baby bodysuit, perfect for all summer babies and, thanks to raglan sleeves, relatively easy to knit. The pattern explains step by step how it’s done. It can be knitted with myboshi Lieblingsfarben No 2 or a similar yarn and circular knitting needles. Options for snap fasteners and classic buttons are described and can be chosen individually.


The unicorn dish sponge was my first pattern on Crazypatterns. The design is still very popular and is great to crochet during the warmer season. For it, you’ll need dish sponge yarn in your desired color, a matching crochet hook, and a little basic crochet knowledge. My pattern explains the rest. A great gift and, right now, certainly a lovely little token of appreciation.

The same goes for the flip-flop dish scrubbies, which you can crochet from dish sponge yarn or cotton. They’re finished in no time and make a great summer project.

My current TOP 3 - also with 20% BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT

The knitted Manta sofa blanket, which is finished super quickly and is simply fun to make. If you feel like a quick sense of achievement with thick needles and bulky yarn, this project is just right for you. The pattern is text-based, but includes photos for the special pattern. The blanket can also be knitted as a baby blanket.

And last but not least the pattern for the super cute little seahorses. The amigurumi are quick to crochet, don’t need safety eyes, and are therefore also great for small children to play with. They are crocheted with myboshi No 2 or another yarn of your choice with a suitable crochet hook size. You’ll also need a little stuffing and some basic crochet knowledge.

Currently & overall popular in the Schneckenkind shop are:

1. Tom the Bunny     



At 30 cm, he’s the perfect size for cuddling.


2. Cuddle Blanket: Bunny

No. 1 is the crocheted-around lantern in a little flower pattern.



With this, you can crochet around jars of different sizes using all kinds of materials, giving you lovely decorations for outdoors, while you can also create atmospheric candle jars for indoors.

In 2nd place is the mobile in the Mathilde Unicorn design.



Here you get the pattern for the little unicorn as well as for hearts and stars in three different sizes each, and you can use it to delight new parents at the birth of their baby.

3rd place goes to the large value set Mathilde Unicorn. Included are the patterns for the mobile, for a music box, a crinkle cloth, and a teething ring.

Here are my current Top 3:

1. Doll fashion from the "Swing" series
--> 7 models that can be combined wonderfully, crochet pattern


2. Doll fashion skirt with flounce and top
--> 2-piece, consisting of a skirt with variable length and a top, both close at the back, crochet pattern


3. Doll fashion "Basic" series
- 7 models, knitting patterns

And here are my all-time Top 3:

1. Rustico Basket
--> sturdy and keeps its shape thanks to the incorporated clothesline


2. Felted boots with roll collar
--> in all sizes, the roll collar is knitted on, the washing machine takes care of the felting


3. Felted moccasins
--> perfect for spring, summer, and fall, in all sizes and colors, also great as guest slippers

I hope you enjoy browsing my shop and making these popular patterns.

Warm regards from Ina

Overall favorites are

1st place also goes to the crocheted lantern in a floral pattern.



2nd place goes to Rudolph - The Red-Nosed Moose. It may not be his season just yet, but if you need a bit longer for a project, it's best to start now so he'll definitely be finished by Christmas. And without a red nose, he also works wonderfully as a stuffed animal and music box outside the Christmas season too.



3rd place goes to the crinkle cloth in the Giraffe Glückskind design. In neutral colors, it makes a lovely gift for a new baby, whether a boy or a girl, and without crinkle foil it can also be crocheted as a cuddly cloth.

My current top 3

1. The colorful summer skirt for 3–4-year-old girls. Just the right garment in lightweight cotton, and fun to knit.

2. The strappy skirt that grows with your child from 1.5 to 5 years old - easy to knit, with a pretty little heart pattern.

3. The adjustable strappy dress - fits from about 6 months to 3 years, also has knitted-in hearts, and is easy to knit.
