Currently popular in my shop right now are these 3 designs



In 3rd place is a crochet pattern for a headband. The headband can easily be crocheted to your desired size, both in width and head circumference. 



In 2nd place you’ll find the knitting pattern for a baby blanket - cable look without using a cable needle

This blanket is knitted using only knit and purl stitches. 



In 1st place, fitting for the season, you’ll find a knitting pattern for a collar - a lovely alternative to a loop scarf or scarf. It keeps the shoulder and neck area nicely warm. Here too, it’s knitted with purl and knit stitches - a design also suitable for beginners with a little practice. 

These 3 patterns are generally popular



My knitted baby booties —combined with crochet—take 3rd place. They’re knitted on a set of double-pointed needles, and the edging is crocheted.



In 2nd place is the knitted scarf “Night in Toronto” —knitted with knit and purl stitches, the scarf starts with a point and ends the same way. 



In first place, you’ll find a knitting pattern for a scarf —a cable-look scarf without a cable needle.

It’s knitted using only knit and purl stitches, making it well-suited for beginners with a little practice. 

My Top 3 currently most popular patterns are three hanging decorations for doors and walls.

The patterns can also be easily crocheted by beginners with a little practice.

You can crochet some of the hanging decorations from your leftover yarn and transform them again and again.
For example, the funny chickens on the roost can be used as door and wall decorations, or individually as edge sitters or gift decorations. Or transform the Nordic-purist hearts with a ribbon of crochet lace and crocheted flowers into shabby chic style.

1st place: The Chickens on the Roost

Here are the 3 most popular patterns overall from my shop. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.

Warm regards from Ina

TOP 1: Rustico Basket
What makes it special is that a sturdy clothesline is carried along inside the basket. This makes the basket very stable, and you can lace it into shape. Of course, you can’t see any clothesline from the outside. The color play is created by working with several strands at the same time.



TOP 2: Felted Boots with Roll-Top Cuffs
You can make them in all sizes and colors. First we knit the shoe and felt it in the washing machine. The roll-top cuff is knitted separately and sewn on.



Doll Clothing Swing Series
You can crochet all 6 models you see in the photo. Everything can be combined beautifully to create a complete new doll wardrobe.

And for the sake of completeness, here are the 3 currently most popular patterns from my shop to take a look at:

TOP 1: Felted Boots with a Roll Collar
Yes, they are a perennial favorite—not only popular in general, but right now as well. You can make them in all your favorite colors.



TOP 2: Rustico Basket
Yes, the same applies here: the generally popular Rustico Basket is also very well liked right now. Each model becomes one of a kind because of the yarns used.



TOP 3: One-Step Felted Booties
My personal favorite among my felted shoes, because you knit it in one go, and the washing machine takes care of the felting.
