Dear users, dear authors,
Here you’ll find the authors’ current Top 3, the overall Top 3, and each author’s 3 best Christmas patterns.
Enjoy!

@Authors,
As a special exception, you can post up to 9 patterns per author in this thread: your current Top 3, the overall Top 3, and your 3 best Christmas patterns. Don’t forget to include links, images, and other details.

My currently popular pattern in first place is the cute reindeer, which can still be crocheted quickly even now, just before Christmas. This gives you a great last-minute gift or a Christmas decoration.

Little Reindeer   

In second place among the currently popular patterns is the “Twinkle Little Star” baby blanket with a lovely star pattern. It is crocheted in one piece and is also suitable for beginners.

In third place is this crinkle cloth in the Giraffe Glückskind design. With it, you’ll delight little ones and their parents as a birth gift.

Giraffe Glückskind Crinkle Cloth   

Generally popular in my shop is the pattern for crocheting covers for lantern jars. The pattern can easily be adapted to a wide variety of jars and leftover yarn.

Lantern Jar with Floral Pattern   

In second and third place among the generally popular patterns are the little reindeer and the crinkle cloth from above :)

All patterns are suitable for ambitious beginners who are familiar with the basic crochet stitches. There are plenty of pictures for the slightly trickier details, and I’m happy to answer any questions.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season :)

Rudolph is a cute floppy animal that was actually only meant to be a moose and got an extra red nose for Christmas :) He has enough room for a music box, but he’s also great as a cuddly toy or toy with various rattle elements.

   Rudolph - The Red Nosed Moose

If you’re still looking for some lovely Christmas-themed packaging for small gifts, you can use this pattern to crochet Christmas covers for jam jars. The size can be easily adjusted to fit different lids.

Last but not least, you’ll find a crochet pattern for Christmas cookies in my shop. You can use these as decorations, but they’re actually meant for kids’ play kitchens and pretend stores.

Here are the current Top 3 in my shop:


Top 1 - Knitting Pattern: “Winter Kitties” Pull-Through Scarf


The scarf with the cute kittens in a snowstorm can be knitted with a pull-through slit for small children. For older children, the slit can be left out and the length adjusted as desired. The scarf is knitted using the double knitting technique, so both sides look beautiful.



Top 2 - Knitting Pattern: “Winter Dream” Infinity Scarf



Little Tobi the bear finally gets to experience real snow! It’s even nicer that he gets to snuggle up close to his bear mom while doing so. This infinity scarf is also knitted using the double knitting technique and can be worn on both sides.



Top 3 - Knitting Pattern: “Ella the Unicorn” Cloth



This little cloth is a wonderful gift for all unicorn fans, young and old! Depending on the yarn used, it can be knitted as a cuddle cloth, washcloth, dishcloth, or even a pot holder. Thanks to the double knitting technique, both sides look great.




Here are the overall Top 3 from my shop:


Top 1 - Knitting Pattern: “Winter Dream” Infinity Scarf



This cozy infinity scarf, knitted using the double knitting technique, isn’t just very popular right now—it’s an overall bestseller.



Top 2 - Knitting Pattern: “Magic Meadow” Infinity Scarf



For anyone who believes in unicorns and fairies, this is the perfect winter companion! You can really snuggle up in this infinity scarf, and thanks to the double knitting technique, it can be turned over and worn on the other side as well.



Top 3 - Crochet Pattern: “Tobi the Bear” Cloth



Little Tobi the bear gets to spend a lovely night under the starry sky in the mountains on this cloth. The cloth can be crocheted as a cuddle cloth, washcloth, dishcloth, or pot holder.

And here are my personal favorites for Christmas. I hope you enjoy them, too.


Crochet Pattern: “Winter Dream” Loop



This cute motif featuring a little bear and squirrels in a snow-covered forest makes for such an enchanting gift for children. For anyone who can’t do double knitting, the motif is also available as a crochet version.



Knitting Pattern: Reversible Hat “Cheeky Mouse”



Kids will instantly fall in love with this cute little mouse as she peeks out cheekily from behind the wall. You can really make a child’s day with this, whether for Christmas or even a few days afterward. It knits up pretty quickly - in double knitting, which makes it nice and warm and reversible.



Knitting Pattern: “Live Love Laugh” Cloth



This cloth, knitted in double knitting, is one of my absolute favorite gifts for dear friends! I usually pair it with a nice bar of soap or a good moisturizer. I think this cloth radiates such a lovely, positive vibe. And right now, you can never give enough of that...
