Authors’ Top 3 // August 2020 Edition

Dear users, dear authors,
Want to check out some great pattern highlights that you can try out right away? Then you’re definitely in the right thread. Let’s get started.

@Authors,
you can showcase your current Top 3 and the overall Top 3 here—up to 6 patterns in total. You’ll find the respective Top 3 lists by sorting them on your shop page using the small gray arrow. Don’t forget to include links, images, and other details.

Yoga Pillow LUNA
Mega-popular in the shop: Yoga Pillow LUNA!
The crescent-shaped yoga pillow consists of an insert and a cover with a zipper. The pattern includes beginner-friendly instructions (even 2!) for sewing in the zipper.

LUNA also makes a great gift for yogis ;)

Here is the pattern



Diaper Bag MIKA
Another popular highlight at the moment is MIKA, the diaper bag. MIKA is the perfect companion for "out and about with baby". There is enough room for diapers, wet wipes, a disposable changing pad, and care items in a zippered compartment. Nothing falls out!

But the best thing about this diaper bag is the wet wipe compartment with slats, which lets you pull out the wipes one by one and prevents them from drying out.

Here is the pattern







Panty PIPPA Sizes 98-158

Perfect for underneath and an all-time seller is Panty PIPPA: quick to sew from jersey scraps, perfect under a skirt or for warmth as the chilly season begins ;).

On top of that, PIPPA is super comfortable and easy to sew.

Here is the pattern

Top 2 - The grow-with-me pinafore dress for toddlers from 1.5 to 5 years

Yes, you read that right. You knit a little pinafore dress and it really does fit for that long. That's because it can transform. And on top of that, it's easy to knit. That makes it truly enjoyable.

The little dress has hearts knitted in knit and purl stitches, which looks especially cute.

Top 3 - The shoulder warmer + cowl - ideal for beginners

One of your current favorites is the crochet pattern for Theo the Duck


Theo is crocheted using one skein of cotton yarn (e.g. Schachenmayr Catania) in the main color, a scrap of orange cotton yarn, and a piece of black cotton yarn. Using Catania and a 3 mm crochet hook, Theo turns out to be about 18 cm tall.

To crochet your own Theo the duck, you should be familiar with the following techniques:
single crochet, slip stitch, magic ring, increases, decreases, and working in the back loop.

1. Colorful Fruit Crate

 2. Basket with Vegetables

3. Door Wreath Heart with Doves

You can crochet all three projects using leftover yarn you already have, because you need less than 1 skein of each color. 

Nothing has changed among the patterns that have been popular overall in the long run. They are still:
1. Colorful Bunnies

2. Baby Kitten

 3. Crocheted Shells

You can also make wonderful use of your leftover yarn for these. Even for the kitten, you can get by with less than 1 skein each of black and white.

Hello everyone,

these are the most popular patterns overall from my shop. They have already been made many times, so there are also lots of reviews, giving you plenty of information before you buy the pattern. Just click on the headings to find out more.

I hope you have lots of fun making them. Yours, Ina

Place 1 - the Rustico Basket

--> has already been made over 4000 times and has nearly 300 reviews
The special thing about it is that we crochet around a clothesline using several different yarns at the same time. This creates an interesting color effect because a different color is always on the outside. The size and shape can be adapted to your wishes.



Place 2 - Felted Boots with a Turtleneck Cuff

--> has already been made 3500 times and reviewed 233 times.
You can make them in all sizes and colors. First we knit the shoe, and the washing machine takes care of the felting. Then we knit a color-coordinated turtleneck cuff separately. We sew it onto the felted shoe. Then we make the shoes non-slip. I show you a few variations. Felted shoes are the best solution for slippers because they are breathable, warm, and adapt to every foot.



Place 3 - Swing Doll Clothing Series

--> has already been made 2400 times and reviewed almost 200 times
You get a total of 6 crochet patterns for the different models and 1 hand-sewing pattern. All the models can be combined beautifully. Ideal for leftover yarn. This set has already made many doll moms happy.

The current top 3 from my shop:

3rd place: Triangle Shawl "Dewdrop"
The triangle shawl "Dewdrop" consists of 2 patterns that alternate throughout, adding a bit of variety while crocheting. The shawl can be made as large as you like. With just 750 m, you’ll get a lovely neckerchief; with 1000 m or more, you can create a huge shawl to snuggle into.




2nd place: Asymmetrical Shawl "Elsa"
This triangle shawl stands out with its asymmetrical shape and a small,
delicate cable pattern along its straight edge. A great project for
evenings in front of the TV, and also for beginners who want to practice a few stitches
without having to think too hard.




1st place: Flower Rita - Keychain/ Bag Charm
A little flower that’s quick to make, uses up scraps, and spreads lots of cheer. What more do you need?!

The overall top 3 in my shop:

Place 3: Pentagonal Shawl "Summer Evening Breeze"
Summer is slowly coming to an end, and the late-summer evenings are usually already a bit cooler. The "Summer Evening Breeze" is perfect for those cooler evenings. Thanks to its shape, it drapes beautifully around the shoulders and provides wonderful warmth even on these days, so you can keep enjoying the sunset.



Place 2: Triangular Shawl "Cloud Greeting"
This triangular shawl is a little classic in my shop. It consists of a pattern that repeats continuously and is ideal as a TV project. But be careful: only suitable for fans of front and back post double crochet. ;-)



Place 1: Triangular Shawl "Apple Blossom Dream"
I was inspired to create this shawl by my parents-in-law’s apple tree, as you can see in the pattern from the names of the stitch patterns. The shawl consists of a total of 4 stitch patterns, which can be combined with each other in any way after one repeat, creating a truly individual shawl.
