Dear users, dear authors,
start crafting gifts for Christmas now. This will bring joy to many people.

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

How about giving the doll mom a colorful little skirt to match her doll (45–50 cm)? That’s sure to make eyes light up.

The little skirt fits small girls aged 3–4 and is easy to knit.

And to go with it, this cute clothing set for the doll. It’s sure to bring huge joy when unwrapped.

With this value pack, you can even make several different gifts and create the perfect lamp for each recipient.



The four table lamps are made of photo cardstock and tracing paper and are approximately 8.5 to 10.7 cm tall. They require some crafting experience and skill with a craft knife.

These gifts are always very well received in my family and among my friends:

For the ladies:

Fingerless mitts with decorative cable

You can knit them in 2 sizes. There is a decorative cable on the top. The insides are stockinette so nothing presses. For the perfect fit, the fingerless mitts have built-in thumb gussets. You can knit them in a solid color or with gradient yarn. Young girls love them too, ... because their fingers stay free for using a cell phone ;-)





For the gentlemen:

Felted boots with rolled cuff

Yes, men get cold feet too. And to keep that from happening, there are warm felted slippers. The gentlemen love them in gray, anthracite, blue, or brown. First we knit the felted shoe. It is then felted in the washing machine. The rolled cuff is knitted separately and then sewn on. Then the sole is made non-slip. Of course, you can also knit this model in lighter colors for the ladies or the kids.





For the little girls:

Ball gown with tulle underskirt

My granddaughters enjoy playing with their little dress-up dolls - and I crochet the matching outfits for them. There is a large selection in my shop. They especially like this dress because it has such a full tulle underskirt. It is wonderful for acting out fairy tales where the princess goes to the prince's ball. The dress is crocheted; there is a crochet chart. The tulle underskirt is sewn by hand underneath the dress. This gives it fluffy structure and lasting volume.

They used to be highly sought after.
Then they were laughed at.
Today they are more relevant than ever.
Anyone who has ever had really cold feet truly knows how much to appreciate them!

These potholders are guaranteed to make the recipient smile when they unwrap them! For little sheep lovers, you can also knit a great washcloth using appropriately thinner yarn, e.g. a fine cotton-bamboo blend. Thanks to the double-face knitting technique, both sides look great—although here, unlike classic double-face, there are actually two different sides ;-)

Such a lovingly made blanket is a wonderful gift not only for Christmas, but of course it fits especially well with the season of love. With additional stitches at the top / bottom or left / right, you can knit it as large as you like, up to a cozy sofa blanket size. Only knit and purl stitches are needed, so ambitious beginners can knit it easily.

These crocheted potholders can also bring lots of joy, especially when they’re made in the recipient’s favorite colors. Because the color not in use is crocheted in, the potholders become extra dense and keep the heat out well.

Wrist warmers make a lovely gift for loved ones. They keep us warm while still allowing full use of our fingers.

In this pattern, a cable pattern runs across the entire back of the hand. The pattern is written out round by round without any abbreviations.

Pattern: Curola 

Are you looking for a Christmas gift idea that comes from the heart? How about this crocheted heart box with loving messages or vouchers for spending time together? The recipient can then use the box as decorative storage.

The pattern describes 4 box sizes. The smallest box is 6 cm wide and the largest box is 10 cm wide. Thanks to the detailed description with lots of pictures and crochet charts for each box, the pattern is also suitable for beginners. For the smallest box, you only need about 20 g of yarn.

Here is the crochet pattern

Using thick yarn (85 m / 50 grams), this collar can still be knitted even just before Christmas.

It’s knitted with circular needles, and all you need is practice with knit stitches and purl stitches.
