Knitting pattern for a collar - a beautiful and warm alternative to an infinity scarf or a scarf

Knitted with knit and purl stitches and a thick yarn, this collar is easy to recreate.



Knitting pattern for an infinity scarf - a cable look without a cable needle

This design is knitted with circular needles and worn double. The pattern is created using only knit and purl stitches. 

Crocheting nativity figures is a contemplative and creative activity during the Advent season. Here you can really let your creativity run free and use up small colorful bits of leftover yarn at the same time.
One figure each day—and then you'll have a beautiful, unique nativity scene. By the way, these nativity figures also won't mind if little children want to play with them! You can decide for yourself how many figures you want to crochet.

It's best to start with the
Holy Family
This set includes the patterns for Mary, Joseph, the Christ Child in the manger, the poinsettia, as well as the ox and donkey.
That gives you a basic set of figures to display. If you still have time and feel like it, you can expand the nativity scene however you like, e.g. with the
Shepherd scene.
Here you get the patterns for the Angel of the Annunciation, 3 different shepherds, and 2 different sheep.

And later you can add the

 Three Wise Men
as well: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar with their gifts and their pack animals—camel, elephant, and horse.

The nativity figures are about 10 cm tall. For each figure, I noted which yarn and how much of it I used. That way you can compare it with your stash and choose a suitable yarn. This is how your very own, one-of-a-kind nativity scene is created, and it is sure to find many admirers.
I hope you have lots of fun crocheting. It's best to get started today!

The little snowman is a super quick project for the weekend:

I find it relaxing when you can really lose yourself in your knitting. With the projects featured here, I can do just that, because watching the pattern take shape as I knit is so beautiful. Maybe you’ll find a design that suits your taste, too.




Knitting pattern for the “Flamingo Love” pot holders - these two flamingos like it hot :-) The pot holders are knitted in double knitting, so both sides look equally beautiful. Knitted in your favorite colors - or to match your decor - they’re not only useful helpers, but also a great eye-catcher in the kitchen! 




Knitting pattern for the “Winter Dream” cowl - The cowl is knitted in double knitting using cozy yarn. It’s absolutely adorable to look at, and also very soft and warm around the neck.




Knitting pattern for the “Breakfast for You” mini bread basket - this mini bread basket for one person is also a great weekend project. Whether for yourself or as a gift - this colorful little basket spreads cheer on the breakfast table. The base is crocheted in rounds, and the rest is knitted in double knitting.


Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Sonja

Babies and toddlers need to be dressed cozy and warm right now. It also has to be comfortable so they can move freely while playing.

Warm leggings made from sock yarn are just the thing. They can even be machine-washed and are quick and easy to knit, too. 

Both models are easy to make if you have knitting experience. And both will grow with the child for a while.

Especially in this dark time of year, when it gets dark early outside and is already quite cold, you can get cozy in the warm living room with a relaxing handicraft project.
