And if you want to practice crocheting in rounds, I recommend these fruit coasters. You can also use them as drink covers outdoors, since there’s a small hole in the center where you can insert a straw. The coasters are crocheted in spiral rounds, with regular increases in each round. Choosing the right colors creates the fruit slices.
You can find the crochet pattern for the fruit coasters here!

Always have warm feet anytime and anywhere, walk softly in any shoes, and never have cold feet again! You can do it—with handmade insoles made from felting wool. We knit them, and the washing machine does the felting. Includes template.

Little Favorite Bag with Heart

It’s great for crocheting with a bit of inexpensive yarn. You can use it, for example, to nicely hide Easter eggs for the children. The base is double-layered for stability.

This little bee is quick to crochet and also very well suited for beginners. You can use it as a flower pick or hang it in a spring bouquet, but it also looks wonderful as a keychain or bag charm. My loved ones are always happy to receive a little gift like this.

It often happens that small gifts need a pretty little box. So it’s not a bad idea to have a few small boxes on hand. Whether you use them with dividers and give chocolates in them, or use them without dividers for other little items, is up to you, because both are possible.



The boxes are made from photo cardstock and are approx. 8.2 x 4 cm in size. As chocolate boxes, they have room for four chocolates of approx. 3.5 cm in diameter.

Easter is coming faster than you think, and it’s a festival of colors. Easter egg chicks are a great way to use up leftover yarn—the more colorful, the better.
