Knitting Pattern for a Collar - as an alternative to an infinity scarf or scarf

Knitted with thick needles, this collar is easy to knit in a weekend. You should know how to knit and purl, and have some experience with a circular needle. 



Crochet Pattern for a Headband

A small weekend project using one ball of yarn is a headband. The size of this one can be easily adjusted to fit your desired head circumference. You should know how to make single crochet, chain stitches, half double crochet, and double crochet. 



Knitting Pattern for a Beanie in 8 sizes - head circumference 33 cm - 55 cm

This model fits the whole family. And there’s still time for a few Christmas gifts. Knitted with a set of double-pointed needles, the pattern is well described in the instructions with pictures.

Knitting doll clothes is always a lot of fun. Especially when we imagine the doll moms’ eyes lighting up as they receive them as gifts.


This cute clothing set fits dolls approximately 43–50 cm tall and can easily be knitted over a weekend. The sweater is worked top-down with raglan increases, and everything is explained very clearly.

This pretty clothing set also fits dolls of the same size. It knits up beautifully using colorful scraps.

With this cute romper, no teddy (25–30 cm) has to be cold anymore. It is knitted top-down with raglan increases and is easy to put on and take off because it has no buttons.

Here are my projects for Advent weekend that will beautifully decorate your room or table:

What could be nicer at Christmas time than little angels you’ve crocheted yourself! White crochet thread, or even leftover crochet thread, a crochet hook, some beads, and a little time. These decorations are quick to make and bring joy for a long time when given as gifts.

See the pattern 




These hats belong to Santa Claus, which means the Christmas season is almost here. I planned to use them as Christmas tree ornaments. In fact, they also work very well as festive table decorations. The Santa Claus hats are made from cotton yarn and decorated with beads.

They measure approx. 10 x 12 cm and can be made quickly. Perfect for using up leftover yarn. This crochet pattern is great for taking along, as a weekend project, or for crocheting while watching TV in the evening.See the pattern

The weather forecast for us this weekend is really wonderful—dreary, gray, cold, and wet. Just right for getting cozy on the sofa with a clear conscience, with a cup of tea, maybe some Advent cookies already, and of course: knitting needles :-) Here are my suggestions, all three knitted in double-face:



Knitting pattern for the “Flamingo Love” potholders - these potholders make me happy every day in the kitchen with their pretty motif. And of course they don’t just look beautiful from both sides—they are really nice and dense thanks to the double-face technique and are used regularly.




Knitting pattern for the reversible “Hearts” beanie - this beanie is knitted by and with hearts. It can of course be knitted in your favorite colors and can be worn on both sides.




Knitting pattern set for the “Love & Energy” beanie and cowl - love and energy are always good for us, especially in the current times. With this set, consisting of the pattern for the beanie and the cowl with Chinese characters, you can snuggle up in them. And enjoy watching the motif grow while you knit.


If you don’t know double-face knitting yet and would like to try it, you’ll find a free pattern for the general knitting technique in my shop:

Curl up comfortably this weekend and do a little crocheting… Doesn’t that sound tempting? It’s best to use up some leftover yarn so you don’t even have to go out to buy any:


The cute moose keychain is quick to crochet. You can use it to decorate your Christmas tree or a gift parcel. All you need is a tiny bit of yarn and very little crocheting experience—in other words, this pattern is perfect for beginners, too.


The Quick Angel also lives up to its name—it really is crocheted in the blink of an eye. Even beginners can handle it easily, and once again, you can use up small amounts of leftover yarn.


This heart with a little bear
is meant for people who may not be able to see each other during the holidays. It’s a very personal way to express your connection to the person receiving the gift.

The back scrubber shower strap with its unique shell crochet pattern is a lovely gift for anyone who prefers “practical” gifts, for people who like to be comfortable in their daily lives, and for those with limited mobility. That’s because the back scrubber is super practical for showering and bathing—and it’s also a beautiful eye-catcher in the bathroom.



In addition to the crochet pattern and crochet chart for the beautiful, three-dimensional shell pattern, the PDF file also includes a step-by-step tutorial with over 30 photos and detailed explanations.
Difficulty level: medium. For advanced crocheters.

The angel with gift box is suitable as a weekend project for experienced crocheters.

This angel is a loving gift idea for someone you’d like to send on their way with a guardian angel, and a beautiful gift full of symbolism for someone you want to thank for always being there for you.

At the same time, the angel with gift box is, of course, also a magical decoration for the Christmas season.



Skills required: magic ring, crocheting in rounds, crocheting in rows, crocheting stitches into the back loop, chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, double crochet, front post stitches, increases/decreases.
The PDF file includes the written crochet instructions and, of course, lots of photos with additional explanations, so you can successfully crochet the angel with gift box step by step.

The hanging decor for doors, walls, or windows creates a lovely wintery atmosphere and is easy for crochet beginners to make with a little practice.

You can crochet the houses in your favorite colors, to match your decor, from colorful leftover yarn, or in classic color combinations:
