@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

Knitting children’s clothing is a lot of fun. And often, small projects like these can be finished quickly. Here are a few ideas for little girls—from babies to toddlers. The links will take you to more info and photos.

This sweet pinafore dress fits from 6 to 18 months and is easy to knit, provided you have knitting experience. Everything is explained and shown in detail.

This pinafore dress also fits babies as young as 6 months. However, it grows with them for longer, up to 3 years, because it can be transformed. It has knitted-in little hearts and is also easy to make.

For 3- to 4-year-olds who already like to dress themselves, this colorful skirt is simply ideal. It has an elastic waistband at the top and is therefore very comfortable. Knitting it is a joy, not least because of all the colorful variety.

If you’d like to start a new project right away this weekend without buying yarn first, why not think of something lovely to make from leftover yarn? Bookmarks are an ideal project for that. You only need a little yarn for them, they’re quick to finish, and afterward you’ll have an original, personal gift for a bookworm.
Here are a few examples:

For animal lovers:
Fox Bookmark


For fairy-tale lovers:
 Frog King Bookmark


For fantasy fans:
Dragon Bookmark


For the weekend, I’d like to introduce you to my great patterns here, which are also perfect for beginners.

First, there are the “fun Christmas baubles” as decorations or to give as gifts



Triceratops “Nelly” is always looking for someone to cuddle with





Or the lovely “Christmas mice”, which also make great gifts for St. Nicholas Day or Christmas.

Knitting pattern for a collar - as an alternative to a loop scarf or scarf

Knitted from 150 grams of yarn - here with needle size 5.5 - this collar is easy to finish in a weekend. You need to know knit and purl stitches. 



You’ll need a little longer for this knitted scarf

It is suitable for beginners, because the pattern is knitted with knit and purl stitches. The pattern includes written row-by-row instructions, and I have also included a knitting chart. 



Crochet pattern for a headband

This headband can easily be adjusted for all sizes. The pattern is worked over one row, and you should be familiar with single crochet, chain stitches, half double crochet, and double crochet. 

Anja Cowl

The Anja cowl works up quickly because it is made with treble crochet stitches.
The Anja cowl pattern also includes instructions for a triangular shawl.

Scarf with Spirals Yayoi

Something for individualists: the Yayoi scarf with spirals looks great in a solid color, too.

If you spontaneously feel like doing some crafting on the weekend, you definitely MUST have the yarn and the right needles—otherwise, unfortunately, nothing will work. So here are my suggestions, where I think you all have everything at home and can get started right away.

I hope you have lots of fun looking and making them.
Best wishes and have a lovely weekend, Ina

Crochet pattern Doorstop “Sandbag”

You can crochet it using my recommended yarn or your leftover yarns. It weighs 4 kg and reliably holds any door open or closed. My grandson Oskar likes to practice “weightlifting” with it—and he also thinks it’s Santa’s sack and that something for him is hidden inside :-)





Knitting pattern “Universal Cowl for the Whole Family”



This would be perfect for fall weather. A warm cowl protects your neck and looks fashionable too. You can knit it for yourself, the kids, your husband, or a friend. You’re sure to find 100 g for the kids’ cowl or 200 g for an adult cowl in your yarn stash. The beautiful pattern, and with colorful yarns the color gradient, develops all by itself.





Turtleneck Sweater for Small Dolls

This is also a lovely weekend craft project, and you only need 20 g of yarn for it. We knit a top-down raglan sweater with a set of double-pointed needles. The doll moms are sure to be happy about it, and the kids will certainly be much more willing to put on their own turtleneck sweaters if their doll is wearing one too. The length of the sweater is variable, as the cable continues evenly downward.

Bonscher, knitted

A small, lovely loop scarf that’s quick to make. It can be worn two ways, making it very versatile.
With the point facing down, I like to wear it under jackets and coats with collars and necklines so that my chest stays warm, too.
Since it’s so quick to knit, you’ll definitely want several in different colors.
In my opinion, it’s also “suitable for men.”

The little sleeping owl made from fluffy sponge yarn is a lovely eye-catcher in your decor—and it can also be used as a practical little sponge for bathing, showering, or washing dishes.

And the sleeping owl can be crocheted in a weekend, even by ambitious beginners with a bit of practice.
