Brighten up your breakfast table with these cute unicorn egg cups. The unicorn egg cups will put a smile on your face first thing in the morning. They make great gifts and are real eye-catchers :-) What you’ll need:

• Approx. 20g of white yarn, suitable for a 3mm crochet hook. I used 100% cotton, which makes the egg cup nice and sturdy.
• Scraps of pink yarn (for the unicorn’s mouth), also suitable for a 3mm hook
• Scraps of white yarn, suitable for a 2mm hook (for the ears)
• Scraps of purple or yellow/gold yarn, suitable for a 2mm hook (for the horn)
• Yarn for the mane and tail
• 6mm safety eyes
• Stuffing
• Scissors, darning needle, stitch markers

16-page crochet pattern with plenty of pictures
Difficulty level: Easy—you should be familiar with the basic crochet techniques (making a magic ring, crocheting in spiral rounds, single crochet, sewing on the individual pieces...). The pattern uses only single crochet stitches, so it’s also suitable for beginners.

Lennox the Lion Crochet Pattern

Hello everyone!! My name is Lennox, and I’m a small but proud little lion cub. I’m about 12 cm tall and an absolutely reliable and loyal companion who will always make you smile! I’m house-trained and hardly create any work for you around the house. Overall, I’m very independent and perfect for becoming your new cuddle buddy ;-)What You Should Know

• How to crochet single crochet in spiral rounds
• How to make a magic ring
• Slip stitches
• Sewing the individual pieces together
• So, general basic knowledge of crocheting

A 25-page crochet pattern with plenty of pictures for each step. I won’t leave you in the lurch when it comes to sewing the individual pieces together either. Difficulty level: Easy, though you should already have worked in spiral rounds. What you’ll need:

• Approx. 20 g of yarn (Schoeller Stahl Zimba medium in color 0218) in the color you want your lion to be. The yarn should be suitable for a 3 mm crochet hook (Schoeller Stahl recommends a 3.5 mm hook for this yarn, but it works great with a 3 mm hook)
• Approx. 20 g of yarn for the lion’s mane (I used eyelash yarn, but it also works great with normal leftover yarn).
• White leftover yarn suitable for a 2 mm crochet hook
• Brown yarn for the nose
• Safety eyes (8 mm)

• Scissors, darning needle
• Stitch markers
• Pins to secure the individual limbs before sewing them together

The Glück/Home table runner was and still is very popular in May! :-)

The crocheted jars "Lichterschein" are my bestseller in May. Let me briefly tell you why I like these lanterns so much:

• They are simply wonderfully colorful.
• They are perfect as gifts when you need a little something. That's why I also like to crochet them in advance.
• They are a great upcycling idea, because all you need is an empty yogurt jar and leftover yarn.
• You can decorate with them in so many rooms or in so many places, e.g. hallway, living room, terrace, etc.
• They are quick to crochet, and after a few jars it just flows by itself.

Here you can find the pattern and all the information about the required materials and the yarn used:

Knitting pattern: summer top with cowl collar

LOOK UP instead of Calculating - PDF table for knitting and crochet




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This PDF table is simply practical for on the go and for printing.

You crochet or knit your gauge swatch (at least 10 cm x 10 cm), count how many stitches make 10 cm for you, and can then conveniently look up in the table how many stitches you need to cast on for your desired measurement.

****************************************
Recommendation:
For patterns, when a pattern says "divisible by.. plus..stitches" I recommend an Excel table with automatic calculation formulas: Gauge conversion table - crochet and knitting (click me).
However, this requires a spreadsheet program, such as Excel or LibreOffice (LibreOffice is available online for free).

The 10 boxes, which come in different sizes, have side lengths ranging from 3 to 8 cm. They’re made from cardstock, require gluing in just one spot, and are suitable even for absolute beginners.
