Crochet Möbius Collar 1-2-3-4



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This collar wonderfully spruces up sweaters and shirts.

It is crocheted from approx. 60 g of a merino yarn with 50 g – 160 m yardage and hook size 3 – 4 (here with a 3.5 mm crochet hook) and is quickly finished in an afternoon. Beginners should allow themselves a little more crochet time.

Other yarns with a suitable hook size can also be used. In my opinion, however, the pattern shows up better in finer yarns.

The Möbius technique in crochet is considerably easier than in knitting.

For the illustrated PDF pattern basic crochet skills are enough (chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch). Link tips for learning to crochet are included.

Socks are always a good idea—this knitting project fits in a bag/backpack, so it’s easy to take along even when traveling:

Sock Knitting Course for 4-ply yarn using baby newborn socks




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This is an illustrated sock knitting course using baby socks size 15 knitted from 4-ply sock yarn and

consists of a total of 4 PDF files:

• illustrated main PDF pattern, 
• handwritten sketches,
• baby sock table for sizes 15–20
• sock table for sizes 22–47.

There is also a short-form baby mitten pattern included, since parts of the baby sock pattern can be used for it.

Don’t be alarmed! It’s harder to describe the process than it is to knit the socks.

Materials needed:

• approx. 15 g 4-ply sock yarn for the baby socks,
• approx. 10 g 4-ply sock yarn for the baby mittens,
• for adult socks up to size 44: 100 g sock yarn,
• for larger sizes, 150 g is required.

Set of double-pointed needles size 2.5, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle.

The baby socks can also be embroidered, for example, and used in various ways—not only as baby socks—e.g. as “packaging” for gifts of money or sweets, as an Advent calendar, as a keychain (it looks nicer if made proportionally smaller), and more.

And there’s also a knitting pattern for socks knitted from 6-ply yarn with tables for all sizes (click me) .

Sitting cozily on the balcony or in the garden and knitting at the same time—that works with this shawl, which is knitted in cotton yarn. The pattern is an easy-to-follow brioche pattern that you’ll quickly get the hang of and then can knit almost with your eyes closed. A big advantage when you’re sitting outside: the wind can’t blow your pile of notes away.
The pattern is written for a cotton-blend yarn (yardage 329 m per 100 g) and needle size 3.5. Of course, you can also use other yarns. The amount needed depends on the desired length; brioche patterns use a lot of yarn, so you should plan for enough.

Go to the pattern here.

This keeps the doll well protected from the sun. Materials : green and orange yarn (approx. 200 m per 50 g), size 2 crochet hook, yarn needle, darker green yarn for embroidery, scissors,
pins. Other colors and yarn lengths can also be used. The pattern is suitable for beginners. Only single crochet stitches are used.

Crochet Pattern Cozy Spot

Details & Pattern

This cozy spot is also ideal for crocheting on the go; for the base, you don’t need any color changes or a chart. You can simply crochet single crochet after single crochet in rounds and relax.

I think CROCHETING is always a little better for doing on the side than KNITTING...

So, how about working on something for your terrace while sitting on your terrace? :-)

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate on the present moment." - QUOTE Buddha
And in this spirit, enjoy the time with your loved ones around a beautifully decorated table!

For clarification, the pattern includes 3 charts of the motifs, 1 crochet chart, as well as a photo step-by-step explanation for the color change.

Sitting in the sun and knitting without having to think too much—that works wonderfully with the pattern for this infinity scarf.

This way, please.




It is knitted in the round as a long tube. The pattern is simple and relaxing, but very striking. You’ll need sock yarn; the amount depends on the desired length, plus a 4 mm circular knitting needle and a stitch marker.
Because of its construction in the round, it actually looks just as good all the way around, which means there is no front or back.

There’s not much sun to be seen here, but maybe that will change. For everyone the sun is smiling on, I have a scarf here that practically crochets itself.

You can read more about it here.



You’ll need two 100g skeins of sock yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook for it. The pattern is a simple lace pattern with cables in it, which are explained in a step-by-step tutorial. A colorful accessory that spreads good cheer even while you’re crocheting it.

When the sun is shining, the bees are buzzing, the flowers are blooming, and the herbs are fragrant, I always feel like using lots of bright colors. So I’d like to show you a few very colorful patterns from my shop here, and I think they really make you look forward to summer and sunshine.

For example, the “Smile” crochet pillow. It’s crocheted in rainbow colors, but of course it can also be made in other colors. It works both as a decorative pillow and as a cuddly pillow.

Or these cheerful, colorful decorative jars. Here, an old yogurt jar is crocheted around, so it’s upcycling at the same time. You can then use the jar wonderfully as a lantern by simply placing a tea light inside.
Pattern: Crochet pattern - Crocheted jar “Glow of Light”


This bag is cheerfully colorful and also a great companion in summer, e.g., at the beach or while shopping. It’s practical because it offers plenty of space and can also be quickly slung over your shoulder.
