It may not be quite the right weather for it at the moment, but next winter is sure to come, and this knitted scarf in doubleface technique will definitely keep you busy for a while :-)
It has dots, lots and lots of dots.

You can find the pattern here.



As I said, doubleface—not very easy, but it looks so great! The colors are mirrored on the opposite side; what is dark on one side is light on the other.
For this you need a rather thin wool-blend yarn (yardage 150 m per 50 g) in two different colors, 300 meters of each color. It is knitted with 3 mm needles.
The pattern is made up of several motifs that mirror after the halfway point. They are all shown in knitting charts.

Giraffe Peppi  

This is warmth, this is sunshine, this is a smile on your face :-)  When it comes to stripes and dots, most people probably think of clothing. I immediately thought of Peppi ;-) Dots worked in a cute way. Or dots with a giraffe underneath.          

The giraffe is made with fine crochet thread and will be approx. 27 cm tall. Hook size No. 2 - 2.5 is suitable. A little stuffing, 2 eyes, and a blunt needle. If you like crocheting with thicker yarn, the neck will get a bit tricky. But Peppi also cuts a fine figure as a floppy toy. At least that’s what my neighbor’s little girl says ;-) Magic ring, single crochet, and increases and decreases. With approx. 35 - 40 g of yarn, the giraffe will be finished very quickly and can move into your home :-)

Have fun crocheting :-)

.... and for striped.....

Have fun crocheting :-)



How about this great, colorful striped and sturdy bag? 
Just pop around the corner to the nearest kiosk and pick up a few little things for the next barbecue evening. Nothing could be easier with this bag.

When using ONline Montego yarn 
and a 6.0 crochet hook, the bag will be about 30 cm wide and 20 cm tall. It would surely look great in many other colors, too.

Total yarn required: 290 g

• Light green 60 g
  
• Dark green 60 g
  
• White 70 g
  
• Blue 110 g

What material did I use?

• ONline Montego (4 colors) 100 g/100 m LL
• 6.0 crochet hook
  
• Scissors
  
• Sewing needle/darning needle

The bag is crocheted exclusively in single crochet stitches. 
That makes it great for beginners too, since no complicated patterns are crocheted.

And here is the pattern

Yours, Dorigurumi

striped espadrilles for babies are an absolute hit!

they are very easy to knit,
you work with knit and purl stitches,

everything is explained perfectly in the simple pattern, so that even
the knitting is a lot of fun!

here is the pattern:    Espadrilles for Babies



with this wonderful triangular shawl, the gradient cotton creates the stripes automatically,

the knitting pattern for it is very easy,

you knit knit and purl stitches, as well as yarn overs,
you later drop the yarn overs again,

so it’s quick and easy to knit,


here is the pattern for it: airy triangular shawl

Things aren’t always what they seem. The triangle pattern on this knitted infinity scarf in double-face technique includes an optical illusion.

Click here for the pattern.



Despite its two layers, it is lightweight because it is knitted from sock yarn. You should have a little practice with the technique. For materials, you’ll need about 260 m of sock yarn in two different colors.
Apart from the stimulating pattern, one special feature is that the infinity scarf can be worn on both sides. The colors are simply mirrored on the opposite side.
The pattern (shown in knitting charts) can also be used very well for a scarf. For that, however, you should plan on using more yarn.

Stripes, polka dots, and pretty patterns can all be found on my new shawl.
Some emerge naturally from the gorgeous gradient yarn, while others are knitted in.
Not only does it all look great, but it also makes knitting fun and keeps things interesting.

The pattern is nowhere near as complicated as it looks; even my test knitters have confirmed that it’s absolutely simple and beginner-friendly—and it creates a stunning visual effect.

So grab your needles—all you need is one skein of gradient yarn (at least 900 meters long) and a matching knitting needle.

You can find the pattern here:

This gift bag in fresh green is just right for all spring and early-summer gifts! The glued-on dots and the delicate bows on both sides give the bag a cheerful, playful look and put you in a good mood just by looking at it.

This gift bag is made from photo cardstock and measures approx. 18 x 30 x 22 cm. With a little crafting experience, it is quick and easy to make.

I love stars, whether knitted or, as shown here, crocheted

The color gradient comes from a trendy yarn cake, which eliminates the hassle of weaving in ends.
