@Authors,
you can showcase your current Top 3 and the overall Top 3 here—up to 6 patterns per author in total. Don’t forget to include links, images, and other details. 

Here are the current top 3 from my shop:

Place 1 - Knitting pattern for children's / baby blanket "Moment of Happiness" - easy

This blanket is wonderful to snuggle up in, and it will delight both child and parents. Knitting it is very easy; only knit and purl stitches are needed. Thanks to the detailed pattern, even beginners with solid basic knowledge and enough patience for a somewhat larger project can manage it.





Place 2 - Knitting pattern for washcloth / dishcloth 'Dog Love' - very easy

This little cloth is new in my shop and already a bestseller. It is quick and easy to knit and makes a great washcloth or dishcloth, depending on the yarn used. A great accessory for all dog lovers :-)





Place 3 - Knitting pattern for baby / children's blanket 'Dream Night' - easy

This blanket also makes a wonderful gift for a birth, or even a little later. The blanket will accompany the child for many years and will also be a wonderful memory of childhood later on. This blanket is also knitted only with knit and purl stitches.






And here are the current top 3 from my shop:


Place 1 - Knitting pattern for baby / children's blanket "Moment of Happiness" - easy

See image and description above



Place 2 - Knitting pattern for baby / children's blanket "Mom's Love" 

This cuddly motif has also made many children happy already. Wrapped up in such a lovely motif, it is especially easy to sleep and dream.





Place 3 - Knitting pattern for baby / children's blanket "Dream Night" - easy

See image and description above.



By the way, all the baby blankets shown can also be knitted in two colors using double-faced knitting. Take a look at the great customer examples in the product photos. If you have any questions about that, feel free to send me a message.


Sonja wishes you lots of fun browsing and knitting

My all-time popular Top 3 in the shop are these:


Top 1: Knitting socks made very easy with 3 needles and mowi heel




Top 2: Colorful skirt for children 3-4 years - knitting pattern




Top 3: Convertible pinafore skirt for toddlers from 1.5 years - knitting pattern

This question is always lovely. I’m always really curious myself to see what trends have developed in a shop and whether the previous favorite patterns have been able to hold their ground.

Here are my 3 most popular patterns overall

Place 1
Rustico Basket

Each basket becomes one of a kind—depending on the yarn used. Any size is possible. The basket is very dimensionally stable thanks to a clothesline carried along on the inside. It’s also very well suited for using up leftovers.



Place 2
Felted Shoes with Rolled Cuff

Wonderfully warm, soft slippers that provide truly pleasant warmth. Felt is warming, breathable, and temperature-regulating. The rolled cuff makes them perfect and unmistakable.



Place 3
Swing Series Doll Fashion

This is what all little girls who own this kind of doll will love. Enchanting dresses, hats, and a bag are quickly crocheted from just a few grams of yarn. Everything can be combined wonderfully.



Nothing has changed with these three. Still very popular. So there were no surprises there. But there were in the trends.

And here come the 3 currently most popular patterns:

Place 1
Basics Series Doll Clothing

Here the doll fashion is knitted. Thin leftover yarn is enough for this, too. Just knit or purl stitches, nothing complicated. But you can see, you can dress the dolls wonderfully with it: bell-bottoms, top, dress, shorts, mini dress ... - it’s fun even while knitting.



Place 2
Felted Shoes with Leather Sole

This is simply a felted shoe you can wear all year round. It also doesn’t have to be left out of your vacation luggage, since it packs down small and light. We knit a felted shoe, and I’ll also tell you right away how to make a matching leather sole yourself.



Place 3
Felted Moccasins

Another felted shoe has captured your heart—or rather, your foot. I especially like the moccasin shape here. It simply looks more stylish than a ballerina shape. But in the end it’s a matter of taste. In any case, this shoe also keeps you pleasantly warm.



What was special here was that the Basics Series Doll Clothing is especially popular with you right now. And the felted shoes with the leather sole have also quite rightly surged ahead in popularity.

I hope everyone has lots of fun making these.
Best wishes, Ina

These are the three currently most popular crochet patterns in my shop:

1. Surprise Egg Money Donkey
This is another way to give money as a gift: an empty surprise egg capsule is crocheted around to look like a donkey and filled with coins.


2. Basket with Vegetables
The basket for the kids’ play grocery store is well stocked with 9 types of vegetables: tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, kohlrabi, corn, zucchini, eggplants, leeks, and cauliflower.



3. Finger Puppets: Punch and Judy Theater
A Punch and Judy theater in pocket size: Here you can crochet the 10 most important characters for the Punch and Judy theater as finger puppets: Kasperl, crocodile, police officer, robber, grandmother, Gretel, Seppel, princess, king, and witch.



And here are the 3 all-time most popular patterns. Not much has changed here:


1. Colorful Bunnies
Of course, especially now around Easter, they’re right on trend: the colorful bunnies that you can make using all kinds of leftover yarn.


2. Basket with Vegetables
And of course also among the all-time most popular patterns: the vegetable basket for the kids’ play grocery store.


3. Fluffy Kitten
The black-and-white kitten is of course included again too. You don’t have to crochet it with plush yarn, because crocheted with acrylic yarn it looks just as cute.

My current top sellers, places 1 to 3 are:

Place 1
Dishcloth / doily “Easter Set I” as a value set with 5 different Easter motifs
 
 


Place 2
Dishcloth / doily “Dumplings, Roast, and Wine” – a holiday feast to knit
 

 

Place 3
Dishcloth / doily set “Cloth Set Animals II” also as a value set with 6 different animal motifs



 
My overall top sellers, places 1 to 3 are:
 
Place 1
knitted owl dishcloth / doily “Nocturnal” – can also be used as a washcloth


 
Place 2
knitted dishcloth / doily “Teddy Bear” – can also be used as a cuddle cloth


 
Place 3
knitted tractor dishcloth / doily “Tractor for Real Men” can also be used as a coaster


 
All patterns are described in great detail and, in addition to the written section, also include a counting chart as well as various gift bands to print out and label.

Because of the stitches used (only knit and purl stitches), the cloths are ideal for beginners.

One 50 g skein is enough per dishcloth, with some yarn left over.
If your skein has 170 m of yardage, then just 30 g is enough for 1 dishcloth.
So you can knit 3 dishcloths from 2 skeins and create very affordable, lovely, and above all useful items.

Happy knitting from Mona (Froschoma_Mona)
