The baby socks are knitted with a size 2.5 set of double-pointed needles using 4-ply sock yarn (approx. 15 g for sizes 15 to 22). A cable needle (size 2.5) is required for the cable.  Adult socks up to size 44 require 100 g of 4-ply sock yarn; larger sizes up to 47   150 g.

For the baby shoes, I used 50 g of soft merino yarn with approx. 120 m - 130 m length per 50 g skein, color petrol, for knitting needle size 3–4, approx. 20 g of matching leftover yarn in the same yarn weight, color eggshell white or light beige (= leftover yarn).
Gauge according to the yarn label: 22 stitches x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm;
used here: knitting needle 3.5, tape measure, scissors, yarn needle, and a crochet hook 3.0 for the bow.

The finished shirt has a stretchy back width of approx. 44 cm and is approx. 65 cm long, but also looks pretty when shorter. Thanks to the simple pattern (made with yarn overs, knit and purl stitches) and cut, this piece can be easily adapted to any size.

What else you need:
measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends, stitch holder, possibly a set of double-pointed needles size 3.5–4.0; row counter and stitch marker are helpful, but not absolutely necessary.

Escape everyday life with this little vacation companion



I crocheted this little bag especially for my vacation, and it really got me dreaming. It’s meant only for the essentials, because I don’t need everyday baggage.

It is crocheted in knit stitch using the tapestry technique. With a size 2.5 crochet hook / cotton yarn and a little time, this pattern might help you escape everyday life too ☺

Details & Pattern

Treat yourself to a little vacation! Or simply enjoy a quiet hour to relax and switch off. Crocheting is perfect for that. Because while you relax, you also create wonderful pieces.

Here I have a few suggestions for you. These are patterns that are quick to crochet and only require a small amount of yarn or leftover yarn.

The jars "Lichterschein" and "Lichterzauber" are wonderfully suited as small crochet projects for in between. And they also make a great gift. I also like to crochet them in advance. That way I always have a small gift at home if I’m spontaneously invited somewhere. In summer you can put them on the patio and have a beautiful lantern in the evening light or after sunset. In winter they move indoors and give off romantic light.

These chocolates for the play kitchen / pretend shop are also a great idea for quick little crochet projects. Because this way you can also make your children and grandchildren, etc., happy. Here, too, you only need a few leftover yarns and can combine the colors however you like. The chocolates also work well as a gift, e.g., for children’s birthdays.

A vacation from everyday life ... yes, simply dive into the beautiful, colorful world of handmade crafts. We all enjoy it so much and are happy about the time we can spend with our handmade projects. When beautiful things come out of it too, all the better.

An ideal project for a vacation from everyday life is this beautiful, original heart pillow. Each piece is one of a kind and something very special. We crochet lots of hexagons in colors and color combinations of our choice, which are then joined to form a heart. The back is solid-colored.

Material:

• 100 g leftover yarn of the same weight (yardage 50 g/260 m; e.g. Puntino by Lana Grossa, Cotton Superfine II by Junghans-Wolle, Linie 134 Candy by ONline Bravo-Baby by Schachenmayr)

My model Steffi is enjoying her little break from everyday life with a cup of tea. Since she otherwise works at the computer all day, she is also treating her wrists to a little extra pampering. The "Deluxe Wrist Warmers" are a true treat for anyone whose wrists are often strained or even painful. They caress the skin and gently warm the overworked joints.

Materials:

• Approx. 12 - 15 g “Superior” by Filatura di Crosa (color of your choice, amount varies by size; there are 4 sizes)
• 1 set of double-pointed needles (5 needles), size 2, 15 cm long
• Darning needle, ruler, scissors

The knitting pattern is also very suitable for knitting beginners who can already knit with a set of double-pointed needles or want to learn. I show everything in great detail.

I hope you enjoy the pattern and savoring your little break.
Yours, "Ina strickt"

A short break from everyday life is definitely a walk in the woods. I have a shawl that’s perfect for this.
Made of soft merino wool, it keeps your shoulders warm when you take a break in the shade under a dense canopy of leaves.
The stole is knitted in a lace pattern—it’s not difficult, but you should have a little experience.
The original is made from merino wool with a yardage of 160m per 50g; you’ll need 4 skeins. It’s knitted on 3.5mm needles.
Of course, you can also use any other yarn you like.

You can find the pattern here .

At the seaside, it’s fun. That’s what my goldfish thought too, because they’re now taking a trip around the world—at least on this knitted handbag.
You’ll need cotton in two colors for it (yardage 125 m per 50 g), a 3 mm circular knitting needle, and also a crochet hook in the right size, because the handles are crocheted. Optionally, a snap fastener for closing and lining fabric, if desired.
The fish are shown in a knitting chart.

This way to follow the goldfish.
