New in February 2021: start crafting now.

Dear users, dear authors,
you’ll find fantastic new releases here. Have fun with them.

@Authors,
You can introduce all new releases from February 2021 and from January 29/30/31, 2021 here. Don’t forget links, images, information, etc.

Brand new in my shop stjerne61, this time a nautical pillow with a compass motif, measuring approx. 40 cm x 40 cm.

The pillow is crocheted in spiral rounds using double stitches (also called criss-cross stitches).
The stitches are explained with photos.

The motif is crocheted in following a chart; for anyone who wants to avoid counting it themselves, I have also created a count table so everyone can work according to their preference.

Crochet pattern for nautical compass pillow



I used the following materials for the pillow shown:

YARN:
gründl Hot Socks uni / 50 g = 250 m

• 140 g Navy / No.: 15
• 70 g White / No.: 29
• 70 g Light Blue / No.: 11

OTHER:

• Crochet hooks size 3 / size 3.5 for the foundation and finishing rounds
• Pillow insert 40 cm x 40 cm
• Scissors and yarn needle

The pattern is beginner-friendly and written without abbreviations.

Baby dolls (approx. 45–50 cm) definitely need a diaper, too. This way, toddlers can change their baby’s diaper while Mom is changing their little sibling’s.

The diaper is easy to crochet using leftover yarn. The Velcro fasteners make it easy to use—even for toddlers.

These cute hearts make a lovely gift for Valentine’s Day. They’re perfect as bag charms or keychains.

Spring is just around the corner, and it’s already time to start preparing.



With this beautiful decorative light you can enhance your existing spring decor or even start something completely new. The light is 9 cm tall, made of photo cardstock and tracing paper, and easy to recreate with a bit of crafty skill.

These “Varia” arm warmers are true masters of transformation—knitted in double-faced fabric, they have two beautiful “fronts.” They’re also designed so you can choose to wear either the flower or the sun on the back of your hand. One pair offers eight different ways to wear them, depending on your mood.

Off we go in single file: leading the way is the proud dad goose, followed by mom goose and the three newly hatched goslings. Mom keeps looking back at her little ones to make sure they’re all keeping up. But don’t worry: the goslings are already quite nimble on their little legs.

“Are you actually putting something in my bowl, or is this just for show, Mom?”
Check out our new YUMMY sewing pattern, a non-slip mat for food and water bowls.
Yummy can be sewn from either water-repellent or absorbent fabrics. The pattern describes two different ways to achieve the non-slip effect.

A sleeping bag that fits in a doll stroller or doll crib. The doll baby or even a teddy bear (up to 50 cm tall) can be taken for a walk in it and sleep wonderfully.

It’s easy to crochet if you have basic skills. This project is perfect for colorful leftover yarn, which can be put to good use here.

Just finished knitting this "Fashion Grump Hat" — for everyone who likes things simple but still doesn’t want to do without that certain chic touch. The title is, of course, meant with a loving wink ;-)



The hat is knitted in double-face. This makes it nicely dense and keeps you warm. Plus—and this is the clever part—you can simply turn it inside out and then you have the opposite color combination.
A general pattern for the double-face knitting technique is included for free.

Ella, the adorable squirrel is the newest addition to the Schneckenkind animal family ♥

This cute squirrel measures about 30 cm.

Brand new in my shop: Rakas, a knitted shawl collar.

It’s knitted using only knit and purl stitches, so you can easily fold it however you like, as it looks the same on both sides.
The pattern is beginner-friendly and shown as a chart.

All good things come in threes... as the saying goes. And so the third knitted roll-neck / collar scarf is now available in my shop

This pattern, too, uses only knit and purl stitches, making it easy for beginners who already have some practice with circular needles to knit. 

This cute reversible hat is just the thing for the next cold snap! The cheeky mouse will make kids’ eyes light up :-) And it keeps them nice and warm, too. The hat is knitted using the double knitting technique; all sizes from 0 months to 12 years are included in the pattern.
