Young and old birthday kids will love these!
You don't recognize it at first glance, but these animals represent the digits from 0 to 9. With them, you can put together any number combination you like. Use the animal numbers as cake toppers for a children's birthday party, for a birthday garland, or as tags for the gift package. Start crocheting right away, because you’re sure to have small matching bits of leftover yarn at home!

Knitting this collared hat / slip-on hood with buttons for toddlers will be a joy. It has a pattern that works like an air cushion and, together with the thick yarn, keeps them warm. My granddaughter loved this hat very much.

This table lamp is the perfect decoration for Valentine’s Day. But it also looks beautiful on any other day and enhances any setting!



The lamp is approximately 10.7 cm tall and made of cardstock and translucent paper. You’ll need some crafting experience, patience, and attention to detail—then you’re sure to succeed.

For especially beautiful things, you also have to put in extra effort. One example is this absolutely gorgeous doll dress. It is the most opulent item I have in my shop. The dress is crocheted, and you have a crochet chart available. After that, 22 meters of 15 cm wide tulle ribbon are sewn underneath the dress. This gives the dress its chic look and structure. Finally, we sew on little roses.

All doll moms love this dress because you can wear it to the grand ball and are sure to be the most beautiful of all the princesses. I hope you have lots of fun making it.

Warm regards from Ina

For advanced knitters, doubleface knitting is a great change of pace from “regular” knitting. With double knitting, you get two beautiful sides—the motif appears mirrored and in reversed colors on the “back.” Detailed instructions for the basics of doubleface knitting are included with each pattern.




Knitting pattern for the “Guardian Angel” washcloth / dishcloth – in doubleface - this guardian angel makes a wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one. If you knit the cloth in cotton, e.g. with 125 m / 50 g, you can also make it into a potholder.





Knitting pattern for the “Celtic Sun” reversible hat – in doubleface - you’re sure to stand out with this hat featuring Celtic symbols! Doubleface knitting makes it extra cozy, keeps you nice and warm, and it can be worn on both sides.


Sonja wishes you lots of fun knitting!

Because of its unusual shape, this gift packaging is better suited for experienced crafters: Precise workmanship plays a particularly important role in this project, and it can only be achieved with a little practice.



The container is made of photo cardstock and measures approx. 13.5 cm in diameter. The paper pattern I used can be downloaded together with the pattern and the templates.

My “Cool Temptation” poncho is a great companion for fall.
It’s knitted in one piece, and the lace pattern at the beginning requires some experience and patience.
But the patience is worth it. Depending on the size, you’ll need 400 to 500g of yarn with a yardage of 400–500m.

"O'zapft is'!" -- not quite yet, but soon!! 
So if you want to head to the Wiesn (Oktoberfest 😉) with a shoulder shawl perfectly matched to your dirndl, you can download my new pattern for the Dirndl Shawl 2022 here:

Of course, it also works without a dirndl or traditional outfit for a wine festival, or looks great with a leather jacket or jeans.

Without fringe, I used only 1000 m for a wingspan of 238 cm, and I used only 100 m for the fringe too.

So it’s also economical in yarn usage.

Have lots of fun crocheting
