Top 3 Authors in June 2024

Dear users, dear authors,
Looking for pattern highlights? In this thread, authors will present their own top 3. Grab the store credit discount and start downloading, or add to your wish list / watch list.

@Authors,
You can present your current top 3 and the overall top 3 here, for a total of up to 6 patterns per author. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. 

Among the current topsellers, places 1 to 3 of my patterns are:

Place 1
Christmas doily with winter motif “little house by the woods” can also be used as a dishcloth
 


Place 2
Statement doily “HOME SWEET HOME” can also be used as a dishcloth or cleaning cloth

 
 
Place 3
Squirrel dishcloth / washcloth “Oachkatzl” with thicker yarn or a double strand, can also be used as a potholder



 
Among the all-time topsellers, places 1 to 3 of my patterns are:
 
Place 1
knitted dishcloth / doily “Teddy Bear” – can also be used as a comfort cloth
 


Place 2
knitted owl dishcloth / doily “Nocturnal” – can also be used as a washcloth


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

 


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

The cloths are also suitable for beginners with basic knowledge, because only knit and purl stitches are used. The rows are written out stitch by stitch. That way nothing can go wrong.

You don’t need much material . 50 g of solid-colored cotton yarn per cloth is enough.
Depending on the yardage of your yarn (115 m or 125 m or 170 m per 50 g ball), a small to medium amount will be left over.
If your ball has a yardage of 170 m, then about 30 g is enough for 1 cloth, and you can even knit 3 of the cloths from 100 g. A very inexpensive and environmentally friendly option for washing dishes, for cleaning or for decorating.

These are my current Top 3 in the shop:

Top 1 - Outfit for dolls and newborns - knitting pattern

A cute outfit with top-down raglan that can be knitted from leftover yarn.




Top 2 - Sleeve scarf / bolero for children age 3 and up - knitting pattern

This sleeve scarf can be knitted easily, even with basic knitting skills.




Top 3 - 6 dishcloths / washcloths with various patterns - knitting pattern

Easy to knit and uses little yarn, great for cotton leftovers.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the overall Top 3 in my shop:

Top 1 - Knitting socks, brilliantly simple - knitting pattern with 3 needles

A brilliantly simple way to knit socks without a complicated heel.




Top 2 - Colorful skirt for children ages 3 - 4 - knitting pattern

A brightly colorful skirt that's guaranteed to become a favorite.



Top 3 - Convertible pinafore dress for children from 1.5 years - knitting pattern

A dress that can grow with your child for several years, simply by transforming it.

The current top three in my shop are:


1. Soccer Mascot Tooorsten
No wonder Tooorsten is so popular right now—after all, the men's European Soccer Championship starts this week in Germany! Of course, Germany fans need a fitting mascot.

2. UFO with Alien
Why is the crocheted UFO popular right now? Well, maybe you have a few UFOs at home that feel lonely and would like some company? But in any case, this UFO wants to be finished!

3. Heart Snails
The cute little snails are crocheted from leftover yarn, similar to little worry worms, and are finished in no time!



And what are the overall top 3? The same patterns have been holding the top spots for a long time:



1. Colorful Bunnies
These bunnies are also a great leftover yarn project and very easy to crochet.


2. Basket with Vegetables
Leftover yarn is also used for these vegetables for the children’s play shop. Make sure to use similar colors, and the vegetables will look really realistic!


3. Fluffy Kitten
Anyone who loves cats will surely want to have a sweet little kitten like this too. Crocheted from plush yarn, it becomes especially cuddly. But you can also use acrylic yarn and brush it fluffy afterward with a pet brush.

In my shop, the baby/children’s blankets with motifs are by far the most popular products. So this time, both the current and the overall Top 3 feature only motif blankets. No wonder: they really are a wonderful gift for a new baby, a birthday, or Christmas. The blankets accompany the child for many years, provide comfort, and later become a wonderful reminder of childhood.

The result is impressive, yet the blankets are quite easy to knit. Only knit and purl stitches are needed. The rows are written out stitch by stitch, so even beginners with good basic knowledge (and a little stamina for a larger project) can easily follow the pattern.

By the way, my shop also has patterns for small cloths matching the blanket motifs, which you can additionally give as washcloths or cuddle cloths.

And here they are, the 

Current Top 3




Place 1: Knitting pattern baby/children’s blanket “Glücksmoment” - easy





Place 2: Knitting pattern baby/children’s blanket “Traumnacht” - easy





Place 3: Knitting pattern baby/children’s blanket “Traumnacht II” - easy

Place 1: Knitting pattern baby/children’s blanket “Glücksmoment” - easy





Place 2: Knitting pattern baby/children’s blanket “Mom’s Love”

Wishing you lots of fun browsing and knitting, Sonja

My current top 3 are gift packaging ideas for starting school.



This school satchel with stars measures approx. 20.5 x 22 x 10 cm (I did not include the handle and straps in the measurement).



This school bag is also decorated with stars, though here they are part of the patterned paper that you can download together with the pattern.
The bag measures approx. 25 x 18 x 9 cm.



Popular for years and now right on trend again is this school satchel, measuring approx. 16.5 x 22.5 x 9 cm.

All three models are made from photo cardstock and are easy to recreate—especially if you already have some experience with similar craft projects.
