This beanbag for your phone is super easy to crochet. On top of that, it’s also pretty quick to crochet. I have also described everything in great detail.

Or how about this great coaster.
Perfect for the festive days that are coming up soon.

Crochet Pattern Snowman Coaster





Not only at Christmas time, but throughout the entire winter, this coaster is sure to be a hit with your guests. In the 4-page pattern, I have explained everything step by step in great detail and also added lots of pictures for better understanding. The file is still under 1 MB in size. You only need white and black yarn and a tiny bit of red yarn, a 4.0 crochet hook, a marker and a sewing needle. Have fun!
PS: I’m always happy to help too!

You can make these 10 folding boxes even if you have absolutely no crafting talent. And if you're not very good with scissors, that's no problem either – the boxes have only straight edges and can easily be cut out with a craft knife and ruler. The boxes are also perfect for anyone allergic to glue – there is just one spot that needs to be glued; everything else is held together with cords, ribbons, strings, or whatever you have on hand (the product photos include a few decorating ideas).



The boxes are made from photo cardstock, can be folded flat after completion, and stored in a space-saving way until you need them. They are all different sizes: the shortest edge is 3 cm, the longest is 8 cm long.

Even if you have two left hands, you shouldn’t have to freeze in winter! ;-)

This elegant button scarf with matching wrist warmers is a rewarding project, especially for crochet beginners, because you’ll very quickly get a beautiful and practical result. 

Whether for yourself or as a Christmas gift for someone dear to you, this scarf is always well received.


You’ll need about 200–250 g of your favorite yarn for it (don’t worry about the weight or yardage—the pattern can be adjusted very easily to any size), the matching crochet hook, and, if you like, a few pretty buttons.
The pattern is crocheted using only chain stitches, single crochet, and double crochet.

So be brave! Just give it a try—and you’ll see that even with two left hands you can conjure up something wonderful :-D

Everyone starts small, and that’s not a bad thing at all. Sometimes all you need is the right pattern to have success right away. A suitable pattern for that would be this one:  a lovely cowl. You can read and see how it’s made in my free pattern. I’m absolutely sure: you can do it!

Best wishes - Yours, "Ina knits"

Even if you have 2 left hands and 4 thumbs, you can knit yourself a wonderful cozy shawl with this pattern.
It looks best with gradient yarn. It is knitted from top to bottom using knit stitches.
Good luck and have lots of fun with your new shawl—or would you like to give it as a Christmas gift?
