A special pattern and pattern mix came about in these sweet little doll dresses, quite by chance. I liked it so much that I knitted several of them right away, in different sizes. This lets you dress dolls from 35 to 46 cm adorably and make a doll mom happy.

With the double-faced knitting technique, you can create wonderful two-color patterns and motifs. Both sides look equally great. The “back” shows the same design, just mirrored and in reversed colors. Here I’m presenting a small selection—you’ll find many more in my shop. You’ll also receive detailed instructions on the basics of double-faced knitting for free.

The Cuddly Bunny Hoppel for babies is absolutely perfect for using up leftover bits of different yarns. This material mix is intentional, because the different textures of the various yarns encourage the child to spend a long time with their toy and explore it closely by touch. I used thin chenille yarn for the head, ears, paws, and tail, which is velvety soft. The rest of the body was crocheted with plush yarn and cotton yarn. I sewed fabric onto the inside of the ears. You can also work with different textures here. The eyes and nose are, of course, embroidered on, which is safest for babies.


The Cuddly Cat Mauzi was made in the same way. Here, too, we have the material mix of chenille, cotton yarn, plush yarn, and fabric, as well as an embroidered face.

These cuddle cloths are very popular with babies (and parents) and make a wonderful personal gift for a birth.

Even on rainy summer days, an extra source of light isn’t a bad idea, but in fall, every additional little light is very welcome. Especially when that little light is integrated into a beautiful decorative piece.



This small table lamp is made from photo cardstock and translucent paper and is approx. 9 cm tall. It is suitable only for experienced crafters with patience and a fondness for cutting out delicate patterns.

My Tunisian-crocheted triangular shawl "Cotton Candy" invites you to play with colors to your heart’s content.


It is crocheted with two strands of mohair yarn and a large hook size. This gives the shawl volume and lightness.
You can combine the colors however you like and mix your own color gradient. Simply swap out one strand at a time.

Have fun crocheting!

Bring color into the kitchen! Colorful potholders simply put you in a good mood!

The Scala potholders are crocheted in Tunisian crochet using a mosaic pattern.


You can crochet the potholders in four bright colors, or tone-on-tone if you prefer something more subtle.
The mosaic pattern is easy to crochet, even if you haven't tried this technique before.
However, you should have some experience with Tunisian crochet.

You can also crochet cables. It’s not hard at all.
Why not try it on a small project before you tackle bigger ones?
How about a pair of quick-to-crochet cable pattern-themed wrist warmers?
