Dear users, dear authors,
Knitting is fun, but every knitter started out small. When you’re still a beginner, you’ll appreciate simple and doable knitting patterns all the more. And if you can make them using leftover yarn, that’s ideal.
In this thread, you can not only discover knitting patterns for beginners, but also exchange ideas with like-minded people.

@Authors,
this is a promotional thread for all authors. 2–3 knitting patterns per author are sufficient. Please don’t forget to include a link and image, as well as information on materials, techniques, difficulty level, and any special features of the pattern.

Summer Shirt, Quick to Knit



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This easy-to-knit summer model size 38/40 is made from 250 g cotton-blend yarn for needle size 3.5 - 4.0, 50 g - 125 m.

The PDF pattern is illustrated.

The finished shirt has a stretchy back width of approx. 44 cm and is approx. 65 cm long, but it also looks pretty when shorter.

Basic knitting skills are enough. Thanks to the simple pattern (made of yarn overs, knit and purl stitches) and the cut, this piece can easily be adjusted to any size.

What else you need:

Measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends, stitch holder, optionally a set of double-pointed needles size 3.5 - 4.0; row counter and stitch marker are helpful, but not strictly required.

New printable gauge conversion table recommended:

For beginners making hats, I’d like to recommend my Oidaa hat. It’s really not difficult and can be knitted with sock yarn or slightly thicker yarn, using either a set of double-pointed needles or a circular needle.
The pattern is available in three different sizes, from teen to large adult, and you can find it here.

Beautiful colors + simple pattern + great shape = a snood you simply must have!

This loop scarf in a tartan look looks sophisticated, yet is so easy to make that it is also suitable for beginners !

The circumference is about 80 cm, and the height is approx. 50 cm.
However, the included sizing template and the gauge make it possible to adjust the size individually.

You will also find a chart of the color scheme as well as a detailed description in the pattern.
In addition, extensive photo documentation helps guide you through the knitting process.
The tartan technique is also described and illustrated in detail.

Für Anfänger gut geeignet ist auch dieser Loop, der in einem einfachen Rechts-Links-Muster gestrickt wird. Bei der dicken Wolle (Lauflänge 100m auf 100g) lässt auch das Erfolgserlebnis nicht lange auf sich warten.
Eine 8mm Rundstricknadel braucht man dafür und einen Maschenmarkierer.

Hier findet ihr die Anleitung.

Triangular shawls are suitable for every season, every occasion, and every outfit!
And to cover every color scheme, the easiest way is to knit them yourself!
This project is absolutely beginner-friendly!

The size of the finished product is approximately 184 x 92 cm.
Gauge is listed as always—for any adaptations!

A detailed description guides you through the entire knitting process.
For clarification, you will find both 2 charts and photo instructions in the pattern.

This way to the pattern...

Der elegante Loop hat ein zeitloses Muster und ist umkehrbar. Er lässt sich schnell häkeln, hat die Schwierigkeitsstufe leicht und sollte für einen Anfänger kein Problem darstellen.
Für einen Loop mit Duchmesser: ca. 80 cm, Höhe: ca. 20 cm, wird benötigt: • Wolle in eine oder mehreren Farben (3 x 50g ca. 140m, 75% Schurwolle, 25% Polyamid) • Häkelnadel Nr. 1,75 - 2,0
