Banknote doves in a picture frame. Would you like to give someone money as a wedding gift but aren’t quite sure how to present it nicely? Then turn the banknotes into a little work of art by displaying them beautifully. Since monetary gifts are always appreciated, make sure it’s full of charm. With just a little time and effort, you’ll have a creative, one-of-a-kind handmade gift that looks beautiful in a picture frame.

• The pattern is illustrated in detail and suitable for beginners with basic crochet skills. However, you should be familiar with the basics of crochet, as the pattern does not include a crochet tutorial. This pattern is still quite simple, though, because you only need to know how to make chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, and slip stitches.

Materials: Cotton yarn with a length of approx. 110–125 m/50 g. Gold-colored fancy yarn. Crochet hook size 2.5. Picture frame approx. 20x30 cm. Double-sided tape. Optional: self-adhesive letters. Banknotes.

It's the weekend and you still don't have a gift for the upcoming wedding invitation next Saturday?
Are you still looking for an original gift? Whether as packaging for a cash gift, a thank-you for the bridesmaids, or a bag charm to have with you all the time... then this amigurumi is just the thing! Quick to crochet and possible in all kinds of sizes. The details for the individual sizes are included in the pattern.
From 7 cm to 22 cm, depending on yarn weight. A gift that's a little different. 
Or is it an invitation to a girls' night? Just use your friend's favorite color, put her favorite chocolates inside, and the most original gift of the evening is ready.

Single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. Looks harder than it is. Not necessarily a beginner model, but for crocheters with a little experience, it's a project that challenges you and rewards you with a great result. 

Have fun crocheting!

A beautiful, festive shawl to wear at a wedding, whether all in white or in other colors.

You’ll find the pattern here.



It’s knitted with sock-weight yarn, which alone gives it a delicate, airy feel. Two intricate lace patterns are used, which are shown in chart form but are also written out row by row. You should have a little experience with lace patterns, but you don’t have to be an expert.
The shawl can be adjusted to any size and is sure to be a highlight at any wedding.

An elegant stole looks lovely at any celebration, but especially at a wedding.

Click here for the pattern.



The stole is knitted in a beautiful lace pattern. The original is made from merino wool, but of course you can use other yarns as well. The amount needed depends on the desired length and width.
The pattern includes a knitting chart and written instructions. A pattern that is already a joy to knit, and even more so when you can wear the finished stole.



The bride and groom are each crocheted around an empty Kinder Surprise egg capsule, so you can put money or vouchers inside as a gift. You can make the two little dolls look like the real bride and groom by matching their hair color and hairstyle (and possibly a beard or glasses) to the actual couple, so they’re instantly recognizable. Then you’ll be giving the newlyweds an unforgettable gift that will be cherished long after the celebration.
They also look great on the wedding cake.

When two people love each other...... Here is something very special for a wedding. This dreamy bridal couple is an ideal gift as a keepsake of the big day. It was crocheted with Mariposa cotton by Lana Alzetta and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. Gemstone glue and half pearls were also used.

Sweet preemie socks for a total foot length from 4.5 cm can also be used as doll socks or as keychains and/or as cash gift packaging, or, or.. – there are no limits to your imagination..

The pattern, together with the sock chart, can be used for additional sock sizes up to shoe size 20 .


The download includes 4 files:

• PDF preemie sock chart up to size 20 for baby socks
• PDF pattern for the individual preemie socks, 4.5 cm to 7.5 cm total foot length (23 pages incl. pictures)
• PDF pattern with detailed photos explaining the principle (using newborn socks as an example – 17 pages)
• PDF handwritten sketches (using a newborn sock as an example – 2 pages)

General knitting skills (as well as knitting stitches together) are sufficient.


Required materials for 1 pair of socks up to newborn size: approx. 10 g 4-ply sock yarn, or leftover yarn. We also need a set of double-pointed needles size 2.5, measuring tape, scissors, a yarn needle for weaving in ends, and possibly a key ring

This bolero in white - perfect with a wedding dress:

All-Season Bolero Size S/M - Knitted







The flower is not included in the pattern; it comes from the book "Bezaubernde Blütenpracht".

(To purchase/download, please click the image(s))

This simple bolero can be worn in warmer seasons with a top underneath, or, for example, over a fine turtleneck in the colder seasons as a shoulder warmer. And knitted in white for the bride, in dark blue, or in black, it goes beautifully with a festive dress.

This bolero is made from 200 g of especially soft 4-ply sock yarn STEP by Austermann (with aloe vera and jojoba oil), using size 4.0 knitting needles, in seed stitch and stockinette stitch.
4-ply sock yarn has a yardage of approx. 420 m/100 g. Of course, a different (lace) yarn of the same weight may also be used. However, it really should be the same weight, as I specifically worked out the curve for this.

The PDF pattern is illustrated with 14 photos (but it is not a basic knitting course).


How about this heart? A heart is always perfect for a wedding, since it simply stands for love. The heart can be hung up or used as a lying decoration. It measures approx. 27 x 28 cm. Thanks to the yarn thickness, it also works up relatively quickly. A small envelope can be tucked into the back of the heart. That way you have a great wedding gift right away, which can be nicely combined with a cash gift.
