What could be nicer in this weather than wool-warm socks. Here I’m offering the pattern for them in size 39. The special thing about it: the heel is easy to knit without lots of calculating and wondering “how does this work?”



Here are the details:
Materials needed: 100 g of variegated wool, e.g. from Gründl socks. Color of your choice. You need to know: knitting in the round with a set of double-pointed needles. You need to know knit and purl stitches. For the cuff, you also need to pick up stitches from the strand between stitches, and work a slipped decrease.

Material requirements depend on needle and yarn thickness:

• Crochet hook of your choice, here size 4 + size 5
• E.g., for dress size 104/110, 230 g of yarn was used (for recommended needle size 4-5, here with a yardage of 230 m/100 g)
• E.g., for dress size 86/92, 150 g of yarn was used (for recommended needle size 3-4, here with a yardage of 340 m/100 g)
• 2–4 buttons (size also depends on the yarn and hook size)
• possibly ribbon and decorations (not required)

The weekend is being kicked off today with a classic—the knitted neckerchief "Auenland".
The shawl is very easy to knit—a pretty little flower pattern alternates with ribbing.
This pretty little shawl can be knitted with solid-colored yarn or a gradient colorway. 

Small bead tassels can be attached to the tips of the shawl, but since this is not required and everyone can decide according to their own taste, I have not gone into further detail about this in the pattern.

Required materials:

• 2- to 4-ply yarn (lace or sock yarn weight), possibly thicker too, approx. 600-800 meters
• Circular knitting needle size 3 - 4
• Sewing needle for weaving in the ends
• Stitch markers (2 pieces for marking the middle stitches as described in the pattern)

The pattern does not contain any complicated stitches, although basic knowledge is assumed (knit and purl stitches, knitting stitches together, yarn overs, etc.). 
The pattern includes 10 pages, of which 4 pages are a written-out version and the rest contain a schematic drawing and charts.

Crochet fans will also get their money’s worth with a lovely crochet experience this weekend.

The pattern for this beautiful crocheted scarf is absolutely suitable for beginners and guarantees relaxed crocheting and a great result.

The scarf can be varied in length and width, and it can be crocheted with almost any yarn. Small crocheted-in beads are the icing on the cake.

It looks especially beautiful in a gradient yarn from, for example, 100Farbspiele or Laceball by Schoppel.
Size after blocking: approx. 200 x 40 cm

Materials needed:

• approx. 100–200 grams of yarn (or 800–1000 meters)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn used (if you crochet tightly, use one size larger)
• Beads (e.g., rocailles – the hole should be large enough so that it
• does not sit too tightly on the yarn)
• a piece of very thin wire for threading the beads
• Sewing needle for weaving in ends

The scarf is very easy for beginners to make, as almost only double crochet and chain stitches need to be crocheted.

The pattern has 11 pages and includes a detailed photo tutorial for crocheting in the beads along the edge and in the flower pattern, a written-out version, and charts.

The butterflies on this garland are made up of many individual pieces, making them perfect for a weekend craft project under a cozy blanket. Only once everything is cut out do you need to step away from the blanket briefly to glue everything together—but that’s done in no time.
 

 
The butterflies are made from photo cardstock; the largest is about 21.5 cm wide, and the garland is about 83 cm long in total. To make them, you just need a little patience and well-developed fine motor skills.

A feel-good oasis—yes, exactly, that’s what you need on this dreary January weekend. We’ll make ourselves cozy at home with our yarn. Now, not everyone already has the yarn of their choice on hand, and going out to buy yarn—no, that’s not happening in this weather.

For my project, you don’t have to leave the house at all. The Rustico Basket is crocheted from all kinds of leftover yarn. You’ll need a plastic clothesline, lots of leftover yarn, and a crochet hook that suits your scraps. We crochet with several strands at the same time, so we make quick and easy progress. The yarns used create ever-new color effects. You’ll see, it’s a lot of fun and a little addictive. And the leftover yarn will shrink a bit and make room for new yarns.

I hope you enjoy the pattern and have a very cozy weekend—yours, Ina
