Dear users, dear authors,

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. All patterns presented here must be aimed at advanced crafters, have at least 10 sales / a CR of at least 3%, and must not have been advertised in the forum in the past 3 weeks. 

Summer is finally here! So even the little fashion dolls should be dressed for the season.


This 6-piece beach set includes patterns for everything the little dolls need for a great day at the beach: swimsuit, sun hat, beach towel, beach bag, air mattress, and beach umbrella. Everything is color-coordinated and goes together perfectly. This way, you can also create little beach scenes as decorations.


After a swim, the little dolls wrap themselves in a fluffy bathrobe. You can crochet it using different types of yarn: e.g. plush yarn if you want it to look as fluffy as terry cloth, fine chenille yarn for a cozy piece that also looks elegant, or cotton yarn for a lightweight bathrobe. The pattern also includes a bathrobe version for male dolls, as well as instructions for making the matching slippers.


Yes, as so often happens with crafts, the men are overlooked even when it comes to dolls. But they need something summery to wear, too! Using this pattern, you can crochet summer clothes for male dolls , namely:  a pair of summer pants (long or short, with or without pockets) and a T-shirt that can be worn with a V-neck or round neckline.

This beautiful clothing set for dolls (45–50 cm) can be quickly knitted from colorful scraps. It’s sure to make every doll mom’s heart smile, whether big or small. And you’re sure to have fun knitting it, too.

To the knitting pattern

If you’d like to decorate your home with handmade flowers and already have some experience in this area, I’d like to recommend this pattern to you.



These camellias are made from photo cardstock, crepe paper, and wire, and are about 28 cm tall. Of course, you can make the flowers taller, shorter, or in different colors.

For handmade projects that look especially beautiful, we sometimes need to put in more skill or perseverance. But that also makes them something very special. Here are a few examples from me.

I hope you have lots of fun making them.
Warm greetings from Ina

Magnificent ball gown with tulle underskirt for small dolls
The dress is crocheted. A crochet chart is included. The tulle underskirt is sewn under the dress at the end.
This gives it the necessary volume and helps it hold its shape. You can make the bodice in different ways. There are several options to choose from.





Baby kicking sack / swaddle sack in 2 sizes

It is knitted from soft merino gradient yarn. The challenge here is the entrelac pattern. If you would like to learn it, this pattern is recommended. I describe everything in great detail. The kicking sack has a wide double cuff, so baby's tummy and lower back are well protected and kept warm. In the sack, the baby has enough freedom to kick without getting cold.





Heart pillow

Here is another crochet project for everyone who has plenty of perseverance. First we crochet many whole hexagons and a few half hexagons. These are joined together to form a heart. The heart is stuffed with synthetic stuffing, making it fully machine washable. You choose the colors.

Double-face knitting is a great technique for advanced knitters; it lets you create wonderful pictures and motifs. Each of the following patterns includes a very detailed basic double-face course. And I’m very happy to answer any questions. Maybe you already know this knitting technique, or maybe you’ll just give it a try? You’ll find many more motifs in my shop—I hope you have fun browsing!
