Every child needs a guardian angel!
Many children are afraid to fall asleep in the dark. This beautiful guardian angel night light is quick and easy to crochet. Under the angel’s hollow body there is an LED light that can be controlled with a remote. This lets you turn it on and off and adjust the brightness and color of the light however you like. The gentle light softly illuminates the surroundings without disturbing healthy sleep. So children drift off to sleep peacefully and contentedly, protected by the guardian angel.
Tip: The night light also makes a wonderful personal gift for the birth or baptism of a child.

  A gift that comes “from the heart”
If you’re looking for pretty gift packaging for someone dear to you, I recommend this lovely little gift bag with hearts. It is about 20 cm tall and has a diameter of 9 cm. Bottles, sweets, vouchers, pieces of jewelry, or unusually shaped items can be stored in it nicely. This gives you sustainable packaging with a very personal touch.

 Tea for two
For a cozy tea time for two: the “Tea for Two” placemat. (Of course, you should crochet 2 of them.) It is crocheted using filet crochet technique (only chain stitches and double crochets). The pattern is described row by row. There is also a chart you can follow.
For one set you need 55 g of cotton yarn with a yardage of 165 m / 50 g in the main color and a leftover for the border.

How about a quick trip to Paris this weekend? Not possible? Yes, it is :-) Not for real, of course, but at least in your imagination and with yarn—with this "Paris" placemat, which brings the romantic mood of this fascinating city into your home. There is a double-face knitting pattern, as well as a crochet pattern for the motif.

Favorite Summer Dress for Small Dolls
For one dress, you only need a very small amount of yarn. They are very easy to crochet. You’ll surely feel like making a second and a third one—the doll mommies will be delighted.





Heart Pendant
You can always use these: as decoration or a keychain for yourself, or as a scented sachet in the wardrobe. You can also give one to someone dear to you. I always like to crochet a few ahead of time so I always have some to give away.





Colorful Craft Bucket
For this practical craft bucket with its many pockets all around, you need an empty plastic bucket and lots of colorful leftover acrylic yarn. It’s fun to crochet and to use. You could also fill it with lovely yarn and give it to a crafting friend for her birthday.

The doll (45–50 cm) definitely needs a new pair of overalls. These are easy to knit and look absolutely adorable when worn.

Of course, the doll also needs a diaper in the same size—one that’s very easy to put on and take off. And of course, it’s very easy to crochet. It’s best to crochet several right away so the baby doll has plenty of spares.
