Hooded jacket
I searched for a long time for a pattern for a cozy jacket with a hood and pockets, but couldn’t find one. So I had to design it myself.
You don’t have to search any longer:

This cozy jacket with a hood, two pockets, and a zipper is just the thing for autumn. You can knit it in sizes 36/38, 40/42, and 44/46.
You should have a little knitting experience.

Materials: 900 g - 1000 g Lana Grossa Superlana mint (50 g / 110 m), knitting needles size 5

Crocheted in one piece using the RVO technique, with no annoying sewing

Soul warmer and cuffs - crocheted to look knitted - easy
One size - no increases or decreases - both as a crochet pattern and as a knitting pattern in one PDF pattern, with detailed photos:


(please click the image to purchase/download)

incl. arm/leg warmers completes the outfit.

The cuffs can be crocheted or knitted with or without a thumb hole (cuff length is variable) and can be worn both as a "sleeve extension" with the soul warmer/shrug and as hand warmers/wrist warmers or fashionably over a shoe/boot. Here, too: no increases or decreases required.

The crocheted stitch pattern looks very similar to the knitted stitch pattern.

The PDF pattern is extensively illustrated on 23 pages and contains both the crochet pattern and the knitting pattern for the soul warmer and the arm/leg warmers.

The stitches used are explained with photos.
General crochet or knitting knowledge is therefore sufficient.

Basically, any yarn you like can be used. However, the amount of yarn can vary greatly depending on the yarn choice and needle size. Details are provided in the pattern.

My yarn usage when using an alpaca yarn, 50 g – 100 m, according to the ball band for needle size 3 – 4, but used here: crochet hook size 8.0

• for the soul warmer approx. 500 g in the crochet version (approx. 800 g in the knitted version with needles size 6.0),
• for the cuffs approx. 100 g in both versions

Hope you have lots of fun making it and a real feel-good feeling with the finished piece.

This jacket is feather-light and therefore ideal for travel:

Cardigan/knitted jacket Gita - sizes 36 to 42 One Size

(please click the image to purchase/download)

A knitted lightweight for all seasons – whether worn over or under – simple and with an eye-catching collar area. Both patterns used are absolutely easy (knit and purl stitches only). The collar design requires a little care. Unlike the “Margit” model, the sleeves are knitted with a sleeve cap. The length is variable.

The illustrated pattern with stitch- and row-by-row instructions is based on a gauge of approx. 14.5 sts = approx. 10 cm with knitting needles size 6.0. Due to the relaxed shape and stretchiness of the jacket, one stitch more or less is not too important. So it’s no problem if 14 or 15 sts = approx. 10 cm. If the gauge differs more significantly, please choose a larger or smaller knitting needle size. The pattern does not include a knitting course, but does include relevant link tips.

We need
225 g KidSilk by Austermann, color 40 emerald, 75% kid mohair, 25% silk, details according to the ball band: needles 3 – 4, 18 sts x 26 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm, hand wash, 25 g – 225 m yardage;
Alternative yarns: e.g. Kid-Seta (Schulana) or Kid Mohair or KidSilk (Adriafil) – the same quantity in each case for the total back length knitted here of approx. 71 cm. This material is knitted with two strands held together. Note: Mohair yarns are extremely difficult to unravel - confident knitting is required here. As an alternative to KidSilk/KidSeta, you can also use yarns such as Creative Melange chunky (Rico), if the ball bands show a gauge of approx. 14 sts = approx. 10 cm with needles size 6.0. In that case, knit with a single strand and calculate approx. 100 g more yarn (due to the jacket length and collar) than recommended on the ball band.
Used here: knitting needle size 6.0, pins, measuring tape, yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, stitch marker, row counter if desired.

Difficulty level:  medium

And here is my favorite short jacket for the transitional season and cooler summer days:
Striped cotton short-sleeve cardigan



(please click the image to purchase/download)

Stripes are totally on trend. With a top underneath this comfortable-to-wear cotton short-sleeve jacket, you’ll be wonderfully dressed both at work and in your free time. And if it’s cooler, a thin turtleneck can also be worn underneath.

The PDF pattern is illustrated on 23 pages.

These knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knitting stitches together, yarn over, emphasized decreases, and increases from the strand between stitches (explained with photos).

Difficulty level: medium

We need
approx. 450 g total for sizes S to L of Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), 100% mercerized cotton, ball band details: 50 g – 125 m yardage, needle size 2.5 – 3.5, 26 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm with the following color distribution:

• Blue 100 g
• White 100 g
• Dark green 150 g
• Light green 100 g

Depending on the size, more or fewer yarn leftovers will remain from each skein. These can then be used, for example, for egg cozies and other items.
Used here: knitting needle size 3.5, 3 stitch holders and 1 cable to put stitches on hold, stitch marker and row counter (not absolutely necessary), pins for blocking, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Of course, another yarn with similar yardage, gauge, and needle size can also be used. Please compare the ball band details with the details given above.

Soul warmers are simply great during the transitional season!

The Esmeralda is a crocheted soul warmer whose airy pattern makes it ideal for this time of year.

Since it’s a one-size design, you can use trendy yarn cakes as well as any other yarn of your choice. With this pattern, you can tailor the size to fit your figure perfectly.

"Nessa" is something very special. Nessa is a swoncho, a perfect combination of a sweater and a poncho.

A swoncho is ideal for the transition from winter to spring, when a winter coat is already too warm, but it’s still too cool without a jacket. But the swoncho also serves you well on cooler early-summer days, such as during a cold snap. If you leave off the collar and cuffs and knit it with a delicate cotton yarn, you’ll even have a great accessory for summer!

Required materials:

• approx. 400 grams of “Lippenbekenntnis” Best of by Schoppel (yardage 420 m / 100 g) or similar yarn with the same yardage
  
• Circular knitting needle 3.5–4.5 (I recommend an interchangeable cable system, e.g. from Knitpro, as there will be a lot of stitches on the needle toward the end and you will need a very long cable)
  
• 9 stitch markers (8 for the raglan shaping and one for joining in the round)
  
• Sewing needle for weaving in the ends
  
• Tape measure
  
• A piece of scrap yarn for the provisional cast-on
  
• Crochet hook for the provisional cast-on
  
• if needed, a set of double-pointed needles in 3.5–4.5

The swoncho is designed for sizes 40–44, but it can be individually adjusted to any size. You only need to measure the neck circumference, sleeve length, and wrist width.

The pattern is 7 pages long and includes written instructions as well as charts and a schematic drawing. Difficulty level: easy to intermediate.

Vest ANOUK is creative, light, chic, or casual—depending on how you wear it and your taste! It can be worn open or closed like a slipover with a brooch or a button.

It is knitted sideways with size 4 needles and is suitable both for advanced beginners with basic knowledge and for experienced knitters!

The knitting pattern for sizes 36-46 is available here:

Spring is approaching, and it’s time to start thinking about lighter clothing again! The MANOU mini poncho is a true all-rounder! Whether worn casually with jeans, with chic gathers over a skirt or dress, or simply as a loop scarf: Manou is extremely versatile! The poncho was knitted with Malabrigo Sock, so you can use any 4-ply sock yarn or even gradient yarns!
You start by knitting a simple lace pattern, and then add a crocheted border for the finishing touch.
