Yours, Crocheting-anni :-)

Little ones will be nice and warmly bundled up in this set, consisting of a hat and a neck warmer. Any 8-ply sock yarn can be used for this. Alternatively, any 4-ply sock yarn, then simply knit with a double strand. Only 65 or 80 g of yarn are needed for the complete set.
Suitable for beginners who are familiar with a set of double-pointed needles.
Have fun, wishes you

We all started somewhere, so today we’ve brought you a few projects that will still work out and look like they were made by a pro!

If you want a quick and stylish result, you should buy the Anguis storage basket .


Anguis is the Latin word for snake. The planned pooling reminds me a little of snakeskin, so I found the name quite fitting.  

This technique is ideal for hand-dyed sock yarn with a medium-length color repeat. Anyone who enjoys playing a little with yarn and colors will have a lot of fun with pooling. However, pooling can be achieved with almost any hand-dyed sock yarn if you change the hook size. You can even achieve it with commercial yarn if you choose a colorway with even color sections.

This pattern is ideal for beginners, as you only need two simple basic stitches and a little patience to get a quick and lovely sense of achievement.  

What do you need to know?

• chain stitches or magic ring
• single crochet

These little folding boxes are a wonderful way to learn crafting: In addition to the precise template drawings, there’s also a very detailed and illustrated crafting guide.

 
 
The boxes are made from cardstock, with edges ranging from 3 to 8 cm. You can make them in advance, fold them flat, and store them to save space until they’re needed. Below the product photos, you’ll find some decoration ideas, including some for Valentine’s Day.

 A great cowl or scarf , perfect for beginners—the pattern is written very simply.
You just knit the same pattern using knit stitches and yarn overs, working back and forth!
With yarn in your favorite color, you’ll have a fantastic, one-of-a-kind piece in no time!

In my Shop there are lots of patterns for beginners. I’m a perfectionist, and I’d rather explain and show too much than too little. Which of them should I recommend to you now?
The easiest crochet project is certainly the Rustico Basket. A tried-and-true classic. Feel free to read the 164 reviews and 31 comments about it. You’ll see, it hardly gets any easier than this.


And for knitting beginners I recommend the Featherlight Loop. It’s exactly the right little piece for the coming spring.



And of course there are also free patterns for craft beginners in my shop ... for example the knitted shawl collar or the Spiralibus Hat. Just come browse around my shop and pick out something nice ...

Best wishes - Yours, Ina
