For advanced knitters, the double-face knitting technique offers a wonderful way to knit motifs with two beautiful sides. You can use it to make very special dishcloths, washcloths, potholders, as well as fashionable accessories. Detailed instructions for the double-face basics are included with every featured pattern.

A beautiful, handmade crocheted wrapping makes every gift a very personal present. This gift bag with the heart pattern is suitable for many occasions and all kinds of gifts. It has a diameter of 9 cm and is about 20 cm tall, so you can easily wrap a bottle in it too. The pattern is crocheted using the tapestry technique, so there are no floats on the inside.

The robin is the Bird of the Year 2021. You can find this cute little bird in many gardens here—and now in the living room too!  In terms of shape, it isn’t hard to crochet, but to crochet with 3 colors, you should already have a little experience. (Beginners can crochet the little creature in one color first, as a sparrow or blackbird ;-))

Thanks to this Easter egg table lamp, even less-than-ideal weather conditions won’t dampen the Easter spirit.



The table lamp is made of photo cardstock and tracing paper and measures approximately 9.5 x 12 x 5 cm. To make it, you’ll definitely need some crafting experience, both with cutting and gluing.

The Arctica soul warmer is a great piece for the whole year.
Depending on the size, you’ll need 200 to 300g of sock-weight yarn. Since it’s worked sideways, the size can be adjusted at any time.
