Winter 2020 / New Year’s Eve 2020

Dear users, dear authors,
Want to see the highlights for winter and New Year's Eve ? Then this is the thread for you. Shop now.

@Authors,
there's no limit on the number of posts in this thread. Don't forget to include links, pictures, info, etc.

The lovely thing about winter is that you can always snuggle up somewhere—at home on the sofa, for example, in a blanket, or in a cozy shawl. For when you're out and about, there are cool hats, beanies, loops, scarves, etc. I'd like to show you a few designs here. Maybe something will be exactly your style :-) With one click on the name, you'll get to the detailed product description with more pictures.



The cozy shawl "Caresse" is knitted in a mix of patterns and materials. As the name suggests, it is cuddly soft. With a little knitting experience, the shawl is also suitable for beginners.




Long-distance travel is rather difficult at the moment, but with the Beanie "Kiwi Love" you can at least knit yourself in your mind to the other side of the world ;-) The beanie is knitted in double-face and can be worn on both sides. The size can be easily adjusted.





On New Year's Eve, people usually think about their wishes for the coming year. If you're wishing for love and energy, you can now make that wish come true yourself—with the Beanie "Love & Energy" and the Loop "Love & Energy". Both are knitted in double-face and are easy to adjust in size. In my shop you'll also find a value set for beanie and loop together.




This reversible hat is totally cute for the little ones! The Beanie "Hearts" is also knitted in double-face and can be adjusted to different sizes. 




To match the heart hat, knitted from the same yarn, you'll find the Loop "My first love" in my shop. Knitted in double-face—super sweet and cozy!




With the Beanie "Mariposa" knitted in your child's favorite colors, you can make a girl beam! The knitting technique here is double-face too, so the hat can be worn on both sides.




A winter must-have for all ballerina fans is this Loop "Dancing Ballerina". This loop is also knitted in double-face, which makes it wonderfully cozy and warm around the neck. The good wishes "DANCE - LOVE - SING - LIVE" are included too :-)

Sonja wishes you lots of fun choosing and crafting

Ohhhh ... winter!
Every crochet fan definitely needs:

1 soft cuddle pillow for cozy hours on the couch -
with Dieter, the cuddly ray, you get a pillow and a stuffed animal all in one!



On top of that, you definitely need lots of huuuuge snuggle shawls to really cuddle up in! Whether Ruhrpott Sunrise or Wuchtbrumme - these shawls not only have cool names, they can also be crocheted endlessly large :-)



If your ears are still cold after that, the stylish Olivia headbands (with a twist and in a knit-look style) are a great choice!
These warm ear protectors are actually crocheted ♥




And once you’re sitting on the sofa all nice and warm and snuggled up, you can comfortably crochet lots of little gifts for your loved ones over a cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa :-)

For example, cute little gifts for New Year’s Eve, like the matching Knobblys!
Whether on a bag, backpack, or car mirror - these magical little round-headed cuties love to dangle anywhere ♥
The adorable lucky pigs are also quick to make and simply a New Year’s Eve tradition ;-)

Are you invited to a New Year’s Eve party? Usually you somehow contribute to the drinks. If you want to wrap the bottles nicely and in a way that suits the occasion, I have a few ideas for you here:

Snowman Bottle Cover

Lucky Pig Bottle Cover
The crocheted bottle covers turn your drink bottle into a very special gift, because they can be used again and again as wrapping or decoration.

Speaking of lucky pigs:

These sweet little pigs are each crocheted around a Kinder Surprise egg capsule, so they can hold a small (sweet?) surprise in their belly. With a nice wish or saying for the new year written on a slip of paper, they also make very pretty table decorations and little favors for the guests.You can find the crochet pattern for the lucky pigs here!

Super warm, cozy, and something for everyone! Whether with a hat, headband, or cowl—my accessories keep you warm and look absolutely fantastic too! What more could a woman want? On your needles, get set, go!

Babies and toddlers are the best to knit for in winter. It’s fun (also as a gift) and finishes up quickly. Here are a few knitting patterns for designs that also give you ideas for Christmas gifts.

The baby sleeping bag - fits up to at least 12 months




The baby jacket with hat - from 3-12 months - in a pretty knit-and-purl pattern




The matching harem pants in the same pattern (also available as a value set)




The first baby jacket (up to 4 months) with hood and pretty heart lace pattern




The baby jacket with hood (from 4 - 12 months) - easy to knit




The cardigan made from gradient-cake cotton with hat for 1-2-year-olds - easy to knit




These baby leggings made from sock yarn are especially comfortable and wonderfully warm (fits from 3-18 months)




These leggings for toddlers will also grow with them for a while - fits from 1.5 to 3 years




And after that, these leggings made from sock yarn will fit - from 3-5 years




This colorful cardigan (top-down raglan) made from merino wool with pockets and a hood also grows with them (sizes 92-104)




Of course, hats are a winter must-have too - this pull-on hat for babies is easy to put on and take off thanks to the front buttons and replaces a scarf.




This collar hat for toddlers is knitted in a similar style.




And here’s another children’s sweater made from sock yarn, soft and warm - fits sizes 86 to 98

To the knitting patternEven the men of the house like to stay warm, even if they don't always like to admit it. A lovely vest with a cable pattern like this is timeless and goes with everything. And it’s sure to be gladly received. Also an idea for Christmas.

And for the ladies, a warm merino knitted jacket is always comfortable to wear. This one is knitted top-down raglan and has built-in pockets. It has a nice close fit and is still nicely stretchy thanks to the waffle pattern. (Size 40/42).

To the knitting pattern




A poncho like this made from sock yarn is very comfortable to wear and quick to throw on.




Wrist warmers—here with a mock cable pattern—keep your hands warm




For a warm throat and neck, there are 3 different models, all of which can also be knitted by beginners (with basic skills).

The collar scarf made from sock yarn or leftover yarn




The versatile cotton collar scarf with buttons




The very easy-to-knit round collar and shoulder warmer




What absolutely shouldn’t be missing are warm socks. You’ll do wonderfully with the mowi heel, even if you haven’t liked knitting heels before.

To the knitting pattern




Of course your head needs to stay nice and warm too. This cabled headband is an eye-catcher and something special. It can also be worn as a loop scarf.

To the knitting pattern




If you prefer to wear a hat with a loop scarf, that’s possible too. Beautifully colorful and wonderfully warm.

To the knitting pattern




For men, there is a hat with a scarf collar that can’t slip out of place.

A winter decoration without snowflakes is hard to imagine. Luckily, there are countless ways to make your own snowflakes—in many techniques and sizes.


 
These snowflakes measure approx. 14 cm in diameter. They are made from strips of photo cardstock that are slotted together in a specific way and glued to each other.

In the pattern, I explain how to assemble the simplest snowflake and how you can decorate it afterward. Of course, you’ll also get templates for the strips with all the necessary cuts.

Here you’ll find decorative items for winter/Christmas

The crochet patterns are described in detail and include pictures, so even beginners who have the required crochet skills can manage them. You’ll find information about the required materials and skills in the item description. 


With Günther and Werner Snowman, winter will be especially wonderful


Use the two of them to decorate your apartment/house in an original way, or even as a gift for e.g. money hidden in the pot. 


The simple cowl


Ideal if you don’t want to wrap cowls/loops around your neck multiple times. The crochet pattern is designed so you can crochet it with your favorite yarn. 


Snowman door wreath, without a Styrofoam ring


This snowman is very flexible when it comes to making it, because it is crocheted without a Styrofoam ring and is still very sturdy so that it keeps its shape. Another advantage is that you can use any yarn for it, and it won’t go “thud” if the door happens to slam shut. 


Santa/reindeer/snowman, or would you prefer a gingerbread man? Then this crochet pattern is ideal.

Use this enchanting winter/Christmas decoration as a gift tag, or hang it in a window so it brings a smile to people’s faces, 


The enchanting angel


Angels are simply part of the darker season; put a flower or a tealight in your angel’s hand and enjoy it every day. 

Ladybug keychain/gift tag


Give the ladybugs as lucky charms for the coming year on New Year’s Eve, or use one as a gift tag at Christmas. 

To give the kids’ room a wintery touch, you could make this colorful window decoration .



The window decoration is made of photo cardstock and tracing paper and measures approximately 50 x 56 cm. The design has very few small details, so it’s quick and easy to cut out.

Let it sparkle!

The best way to get through the cold and sometimes gloomy season is with beautiful, warm accessories that invite you to snuggle up and lift your spirits. The following three children’s designs definitely fall into this category—they are wonderfully soft and cozy and each tell a whole story. The beanie and both cowls are knitted in double knitting, so they can be worn on either side.
