Summer is colorful, and you still haven’t found the right accessory? With the “Bahamas” triangular shawl, that’s no longer a problem! You can also use the shawl as a stole or scarf; it’s long and wide enough to cover your shoulders.

Everything is explained step by step in the pattern with lots of pictures.

Now it’s time to start crocheting and enjoy the summer!

Measurements
Length: 150 cm, width: 65 cm
The shawl can be enlarged as much as you like. For that, you’ll need 50 g more yarn.

What do I need?
  • Katia Bombay, 200 g (or yarn in a comparable weight: 50 g = 115 m)
  • Crochet hook size 4
  • small yarn needle
What should I be able to do?
  • chain stitches
  • single crochet
  • slip stitches
  • double crochet
  • treble crochet
If you have any questions or suggestions about the pattern, please contact me directly. I’ll be happy to help!

This great hat is simply brilliant and very versatile. With different lacing and combinations of different colors,
it always looks different. For children, perhaps very colorful; for adults,
simple or without ribbons. With this pattern, you can easily make it yourself
and redesign it anytime. Whether made with gradient yarn, in one color, or two,
it is always an eye-catcher.

This pillow isn’t just colorful—it’s also fluffy. That makes it perfect as a decorative pillow or simply for cuddling. Of course, you can choose your favorite colors to create the pillow of your dreams. The pillow measures 40 x 80 cm. You can use a standard pillow insert, and cleaning it is incredibly easy. Simply place the entire pillow in the washing machine and wash it according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the yarn and the pillow insert.

The pillow uses slip stitches, single crochet, chain stitches, and double crochet. You’ll also learn how to crochet front post stitches and crab stitches. Both stitches are explained in the pattern.

You’ll also need yarn suitable for a 3.5 to 4 mm hook and a size 3.5 crochet hook. The specific yarn and colors used are listed in the pattern.

The crochet pattern is described in detail and includes numerous photos, so even beginners can follow along and make the pillow.

This bright and cheerful water lily pillow will put you in a good mood while you crochet it, and later it will be an eye-catcher in any child’s room. It consists of two parts that are closed with crocheted ball buttons. This means it can also be washed if needed.You need a total of 300 g of cotton in four different colors, a size 3 crochet hook, and approx. 20 g of stuffing. Across 36 pages, I describe and show you in many detailed photos exactly how the pillow is crocheted. Step by step, this pillow is created. The crochet pattern is also easy for beginners to follow, because I describe and show everything very precisely. For the pros, a large crochet chart of the blossom and the buttons is included.

I hope you enjoy crocheting it.

This crocheted Advent calendar is colorful and cheerful—it’s sure to make kids’ eyes light up. Finally, you can use up all the leftover yarn. The pattern is also ideal for crochet beginners, since I show and describe everything in great detail. The stars with the numbers 1–24 are also included as a cut-out template.

Here’s the popular pattern: Advent Calendar



I hope you have fun making this project.

Warm regards—Ina

The right rug for every space—all sizes and colors are possible with this thick, cozy rug. An ideal beginner project,
which is a lot of fun but does require a bit of diligence and perseverance.
We crochet a mesh using chain stitches, single crochets, and double crochets.
We then weave in knitting spool cords. I show you exactly how it all works on 28 illustrated pages. The amount of material needed depends on the size of your desired rug. Leftovers can also
be used very well, because per knitting spool strand
we only need 5 g of one color.

Here is the pattern for the knitting spool rug



I hope you have lots of fun with the pattern and end up with a beautifully colorful result.
Yours, Ina

This is my absolute favorite pillow. So wonderfully colorful and cheerful. It just puts you in a good mood—even while crocheting, I promise. The pattern is very well suited for beginners, since I show and describe everything in great detail. You simply learn
how to crochet 1 hexagon, and then it’s time to be diligent,
and crochet many more. These are joined together at the end. The following
stitches are used: chain stitches, single crochet and
double crochet. I used 200 g of Bravo yarn by Schachenmayr. The pillow is approx. 41 x 35 cm.

What I especially like is that you can crochet the individual hexagons for the pillow
practically anywhere—on the train, on vacation, or when sitting together with
friends. I always wind a few small balls of yarn and
put them in a bag along with a crochet hook—and that way I always have my little
crochet project with me and can keep busy.

I hope you have lots of fun with the pattern and make a beautiful pillow in your favorite colors.

Best wishes—your Ina

P.S. The pillow is also available in a heart shape.

Butterflies symbolize nature’s diversity, transformation, and lightness. They are particularly striking examples of symmetry and … they are simply beautiful.


 
These colorful butterflies are made from photo cardstock and translucent paper, measure approx. 27.3 x 14.5 cm, and are easy for even beginners to make.
By changing the colors of the translucent paper, countless more butterflies can be made using the same templates.

For everyone who prefers to make their own gift packaging – here’s a pretty, colorful suggestion from me.

These 10 boxes are designed for small gifts like keychains, bag charms, and similar items. They all come in different sizes: the shortest side is 3 cm, and the longest is 8 cm.



  Since the boxes can be folded flat once completed, you can make them in advance and store them until you need them. And if you receive a gift in one of these boxes, you can fold it flat again after emptying it and later fill it with another gift and decorate it differently before giving it away again—practical, economical, and eco-friendly :-).
By the way: You’ll find a few of my decoration ideas in the product photos.
