Dear users, dear authors,
if you like merino wool, then this is the thread for you. Have fun with it.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, pictures, information, etc.

This baby sleeping bag is knitted from cuddly soft merino wool. It fits babies from 3 to at least 12 months. You can even change the baby’s diaper in it while they sleep.

Our men like to stay warm, too. For the in-between seasons, a merino vest with a cable pattern is just the thing. It’s timeless and works for many occasions. The pattern is for size 48/50.

This cable-knit headband is a real eye-catcher. It’s knitted from soft merino wool and is especially warm thanks to the cable pattern.

Merino wool is perfect for these cozy accessories, knitted using the double-faced technique. The yarn is lovely to work with and keeps you nice and warm. The double-faced knitting technique creates two “knit-side-out” sides, making the finished piece feel very soft.

Merino wool is the fine, soft wool from Merino sheep. It feels pleasantly soft against the skin, provides reliable warmth, and doesn't scratch. It is breathable and can store a lot of heat, so it acts as insulation. The warmth is stored in the wool fibers, and only when there is too much heat is it released to the outside. In summer, the effect is reversed. Then it helps keep the skin pleasantly cool. So you have a natural air conditioner.

I love Merino wool and like to use it for baby clothes or for anything I want to feel especially comfortable in. Here are my suggestions for you. For more pictures, information, and the pattern, just click on the headings.

I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.

Warm regards from Ina

Wrap Cardigan and Hat for Babies in 2 Sizes

Soft Merino wool for soft baby skin. You can give this to any little baby and dress them in it with a clear conscience. Thanks to the wrap effect and the fold-up sleeves, the little cardigan will grow with the baby for a few months. The cable pattern is especially beautiful and decorative.





Timeless Baby Blanket

This baby blanket is also wonderfully cuddly, warm, and breathable, because it is made from Merino wool. The perfect gift for a baby. The pattern is the same on both sides, so there is no front or back.





White Short Poncho

You can wear it anytime, because it keeps you warm without making you sweat. It's called a short poncho because the arms are free, so it doesn't get in the way when doing things around the house or at the computer. I knitted this one for my friend, who sometimes wants to quickly put on something simple that keeps her warm. She needs freedom of movement for her arms at work and likes this design especially much for that reason.

This blanket was knitted from soft merino yarn. You don’t need a cable needle for the cable-look pattern. The pattern is created using only knit and purl stitches. 



Merino yarn is also available blended with cotton. This scarf was knitted from Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine Cotton 120 and is pleasantly soft and warm to wear. For the pattern, you should know how to work knit and purl stitches, yarn overs, and knit stitches together. 

Hello, everyone!

One of my favorite yarns is merino wool. It’s so cozy, doesn’t itch, and keeps you super warm! For me, it’s the ideal yarn for crocheting hats, like the Blizzard hat, for example!
You’ll need about 120 to 150 gr of merino wool. I recommend a yardage of about 110 m per 50 gr of yarn.

Have fun crocheting!
