This pretty little heart can be crocheted in just a few hours, making it ideal if you still need a quick small gift. Whether for your best friend, your mother, your mother-in-law, or your nice neighbor—with this heart you’re giving love and joy.

For the heart you need:

• leftover yarn in white and red (e.g. Catania by Schachenmayr )
  
• beads (make sure the loops are wide enough for the yarn to fit through )
  
• a little stuffing
  
• crochet hook size 3.0 mm
  
• pins for attaching the wings to the heart
  
• sewing needle for weaving in the ends and sewing on the wings
  
• white sewing thread
  
• scissors

Using the yarn mentioned above, the heart will be approx. 9 cm tall (without the loop and bead pendant ) and approx. 16 cm wide. You don’t need any special crochet skills, as the heart is crocheted using only chain stitches, single crochet stitches, and double crochet. Basic knowledge should be present, however. The pattern is 9 pages long and includes numerous pictures as well as charts.

And best of all: Until the end of November, there is still a 30% discount on the pattern! Here’s the pattern 



This pretty, playfully styled shawl is knitted from side to side, with the ruffle worked at the same time. 
It looks especially beautiful with gradient yarn. You will need sock yarn or a similar yarn with a yardage of approx. 400–420 meters per 100 grams and knitting needles in size 3.5–4.0 mm. This makes the shawl perfect for a one-skein project.

The finished shawl measures approx. 150 x 40 cm, depending on the yarn and needle size used. Intermediate difficulty. Here’s the pattern
