Our banknotes come in pastel colors. If you’d like to give a monetary gift, you can crochet these cute little mice in colors that match the notes and use them as little messengers. If you place the mice in a small pan, it’ll be immediately clear that they’re “mice to spend” and that the recipient should use them to fulfill a wish of their own.

Lingerie is often made in pastel colors. That goes for this lingerie set for dress-up dolls, too.

It includes patterns for 1 bra, 1 bustier, 1 pair of panties, 1 pair of hot pants, 1 negligee, and 1 babydoll top. All pieces can be mixed and matched. The lingerie set is made from scraps of thin cotton yarn (size 10).

The hat with the cheeky mouse looks really sweet in pastel colors. It is knitted in double-face and can therefore be worn on both sides. All sizes from 0 months to teenage years are possible and included in the pattern.

This cozy cloth, which can be used as a comfort cloth or washcloth, also looks very pretty in pastel colors. The cloth is knitted in double-face, then a beautiful crochet edging is added.

Soft colors go really well with the spring-like motif featuring the little bird and the flower. This cover not only protects your e-reader or a small tablet, but is also a very special eye-catcher. It is knitted in double-face and can be turned inside out, giving you some color variety.

It’s still so cold out, so a little project like a knitted pixie hat for newborns is just the thing.

The pattern uses knit and purl stitches; there’s a knitting chart and written instructions for the pattern. 

I love pastel colors, and I’d love to show you a few pretty ideas to crochet with these colors here.

A small tea light is all it takes to create a cozy atmosphere in a room. Placed in a pretty tea light holder , this little light also looks very decorative.



This tea light holder is made of photo cardstock and measures approximately 13 x 5.5 x 11 cm. With a little experience using a craft knife, it’s very easy to make.

Dreamy Princess Dress

You can crochet it in the doll mom’s favorite colors. She’ll surely want a beaded edge on the individual layers of the skirt, too. The pattern includes various design options. My favorite option is the one with seed beads along the edge.





“African Flowers” Cushion Cover

To me, this looks especially beautiful in pastel colors and fits in any girl’s room, the garden, or another favorite spot. The cover buttons up and is therefore washable. First we crochet lots of hexagons, which we then crochet together to make a cushion cover.





Ball Gown with Tulle Underskirt

This is the most beautiful of my doll dresses. It looks absolutely dreamy in every color. The special feature is the no-sew tulle underskirt. The little roses are sewn on at the end and surely some will be used for a hair accessory, too :-)

Even though the temperatures might suggest otherwise—today is the first day of spring! If you’d like to celebrate this day with a craft project, I have the perfect idea for you.



This little flower basket is made from cardstock and measures approximately 14 x 21 x 19 cm. The flowers are made from cardstock and crepe paper. Both the basket and the flowers are very easy to recreate.
