Little boys love trains and tractors! That’s why you’ll also find these motifs on the children’s jacket “Train”, which you can make in sizes 80/86 and 92. The jacket closes with a zipper in the front, so there’s no fiddly buttoning needed. The motifs are on the front and back. They are crocheted and sewn onto the finished jacket. 



Mom is sure to be delighted with such a pretty little beaded pouch. You can use it to store small change, jewelry, makeup items, or tampons. The pouch closes with a clip and measures about 12 x 8 cm. The beads are sewn onto the finished pouch. This saves you the hassle of stringing them before crocheting, and you can also use beads with small holes. You can also give young girls a money gift this way.



And one more pouch with a clip closure, this time as Rudi the reindeer with the red nose: The reindeer coin purse can be crocheted from leftover yarn and is also perfect if you’d like to gift a few bills in an original way.

The doll looks absolutely adorable in this cute winter jumpsuit. A huge delight for any doll mom—it’s guaranteed to make her eyes light up.

The jumpsuit is knitted from the top down with raglan shaping. The pattern includes instructions for several sizes.

A colorful patchwork skirt like this would definitely make a great gift for a doll mom. The more colorful it is, the cheerier it looks. It’s very easy to knit—patch by patch. It’s fun and is guaranteed to turn out beautifully.

The measurements in the pattern are suitable for sizes 104 to 116.

A very quick and easy gift that only requires a few bits of leftover yarn in your favorite colors is this colorful patterned wash mitt. You’re sure to enjoy making it.

The wash mitts can be knitted in various sizes, just as you like.

You can’t go wrong with a table lamp as a Christmas gift, because everyone appreciates an extra source of light—especially during the dark winter months. Especially if it was lovingly handmade.



This small table lamp is made of photo cardstock and tracing paper and is about 9 cm tall. It’s only suitable for crafters with some experience, patience, and a penchant for cutting out intricate patterns.

Giving handmade items for Christmas can work out well if you give the right thing. Nobody wants the umpteenth set of potholders. But a few lovely special items will make the recipients’ eyes light up. Here are a few suggestions from me, things I’ve already knitted or crocheted for my grandchildren. All the gifts were very well received.

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

Board game

You can simply roll it up and take it anywhere. Ready to play anytime and washable if needed. The game board and game pieces are crocheted. There’s also a little bag where you can store everything. That way you can quickly pop it into your bag and take it on vacation, on an outing, or to a restaurant. No more boredom.





Hanging storage basket

We crochet the storage basket directly onto a hanger. This makes it portable from room A to room B. The treasures go into the 6 small pockets, and you can also attach all sorts of other things to it. Little girls love storing their hair clips and jewelry in it. It is crocheted from thick cotton and is also washable.



The Ice Princess’s Coat

At our house, it always has to include doll clothes for the granddaughters’ little dolls, too. They wanted a coat like the one the princess always wears in the fairy tale. Here you go, here it is. It is knitted in one piece and has no seams.

I think wrist warmers always make a very personal gift.
The Lisa wrist warmers have a romantic touch.


And the “Mary” wrist warmers feature a playful pattern and can (optionally) be embellished with a pretty ribbon.
