Mini Unicorn “Fee” Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

Hello everyone, My name is Fee and I’m a tiny and very rare unicorn girl. I love to cuddle, and I also make an excellent keychain or bag charm. At just 7–8 cm tall, you can take me with you anywhere—I fit in any bag :-) Here’s what you’ll need to crochet me:
  • Approx. 10g of yarn in white or cream (I used Schachenmayr Catania Fine, color 1001). Your yarn should definitely be suitable for a 2mm crochet hook
  • Scraps in pink and purple. Both should also be suitable for a 2mm crochet hook
  • 2mm crochet hook
  • stuffing
  • Scissors, darning needle, stitch markers
  • 6mm safety eyes, or alternatively, black thread for embroidering the eyes
  • If you want to use your unicorn as a keychain, you’ll also need a keyring

18-page crochet pattern with plenty of pictures showing everything step by step. I’ll also walk you through sewing the individual pieces together. Difficulty level: Easy, suitable for beginners. You should be familiar with the basic crochet techniques: crocheting in spiral rounds, single crochet, slip stitches, making a magic ring, changing colors, and sewing the individual parts together. The unicorn is crocheted entirely using single crochet stitches.

Hello everyone, my name is Matilda and I’m a cute little ladybug girl. I love spring and summer more than anything and would love to become your new cuddle buddy :-).

I also make a great gift and am sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. What you’ll need to crochet me
  • About 10g of yarn (Catania Fine in black), as well as about 8g of red yarn (here I used Schoeller Stahl Baby Cotton). The yarn you use should definitely be suitable for a 2mm crochet hook
  • 2mm crochet hook
  • Some felt to cut out the spots from
  • Googly eyes and superglue
  • Scissors, darning needle, stitch markers
  • If you want to use me as a keychain, a keyring
  • stuffing
  • A sewing needle to sew on the dots
  • White thread for the mouth
A 16-page crochet pattern with plenty of pictures showing everything step by step.
Difficulty level: Easy. You should be familiar with the basic crochet techniques: making a magic ring, working single crochet and slip stitches, increasing and decreasing, sewing on individual parts, as well as working double crochet stitches and increases.

Are you looking for patterns where you can see results quickly and that are made from leftover yarn? Then I have a few tips for you:

The “Lichterschein” lanterns are a wonderful gift idea for dear friends or your lovely family. I also like to crochet them “in advance,” so I always have a little something at home when I’m invited somewhere spontaneously. The pattern can also be made by beginners without any problems, as it includes lots of photos and detailed explanations.
--> Crochet pattern: Crochet-covered jars “Lichterschein”


Are you invited to friends or relatives for Pentecost and need a small gift for children? How about these little crocheted slices of cake or chocolates? Every cake baker and every pretend-shop owner will be delighted with them.
--> Crochet pattern: Crochet chocolates for the play kitchen / pretend shop


Girls in particular will love this crochet necklace, especially if they like flowers. The pattern is written for different sizes from 42 to 100 cm, so the necklace fits around every neck.

What to do on a rainy Pentecost?
Use up leftover yarn and add to your gift stash, for example like this:


Knitting pattern egg cozy BIGGI - quick and easy




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Fun egg cozies, not just for Easter!

Quick and easy to knit in one evening in front of the TV, they make a last-minute little gift for any occasion or look pretty on your own breakfast table.

Basic knitting skills are enough.
We knit in rounds with a set of double-pointed needles. Decorations are possible however you like and according to your own creativity.

Material:
Basically, any yarn can be used with a slightly smaller needle size than indicated on the ball band.

1 egg cozy: approx. 10 g – 15 g yarn (leftover) + little bits of leftover yarn for decorating; here: set of double-pointed needles size 4.0 and crochet hook approx. 3.0 for “knotting in hair”; yarn needle for weaving in ends, sewing needle and buttons if needed, measuring tape, scissors. Recommendation: embroider the eyes in black if the egg cozies are used as amigurumi for babies/toddlers.

Included in the PDF download:

  • Short pattern in text form, written for yarns with approx. 105 m length per 50 g
  • Step-by-step illustrated pattern, written for yarns with approx. 85 m length per 50 g
each knitted with a set of double-pointed needles size 4.0 (then the egg cozies become nice and dense and stand up on their own)

  • Photo tutorial “Embroidering in duplicate stitch
  • Photo tutorial “Knotting in hair with a crochet hook"
  • Separate PDF pattern for the “double long-tail cast-on

Knitting socks (possibly with leftover bits of sock yarn) is also a very relaxing thing to do—no matter where you are,

  • whether on the couch in rainy weather
  • or in a boat on the lake/sea
  • or at the beach
  • or while traveling by train
  • or, or...

Sock Knitting Course for 4-ply Yarn Using Newborn Baby Socks—with Charts for All Sizes



(To purchase/download, please click the image)


..and feet both small and large will be delighted with the results..

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

Included in the download :

  • detailed illustrated main PDF pattern
  • hand-drawn sketches
  • baby sock chart for sizes 15–20
  • sock chart for sizes 22–47

Integrated into the main pattern is a brief baby mitten pattern, since parts of the baby sock pattern can be used for it.

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

Materials needed: 4-ply sock yarn
(wonderfully soft options include, for example, Ferner “Lungauer Sockengarn” merino sock yarns
or Austermann “Step” with aloe vera and jojoba, or “Comfort” with cashmere)

  • approx. 15 g for the baby socks,
  • approx. 10 g for the baby mittens,
  • for adult socks up to size 44: 100 g,
  • if larger than size 44, then 150 g is required.

set of double-pointed needles size 2.5, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.

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—there are no limits to your imagination.

Wishing you a lovely knitting Pentecost!

Easy Baby Crochet Shoes




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This is an illustrated crochet pattern for easy-to-crochet baby shoes.

Basic crochet skills are enough.

We need:
approx. 50 g cotton (blend) yarn with a yardage of approx. 90 m per 50 g, for (knitting) needle size 4.0–5.0; used here: crochet hook 4.5; thinner yarn can also be used—the specified measurements are what matter, leftover yarn for the bows or 2 pretty buttons, yarn needle, measuring tape, scissors.


In addition to the detailed pattern, I have also created a short crochet pattern (sketch) as well as a short pattern for the knitted version.

By the way: cash gifts can also be “wrapped” this way.

Have fun “crocheting/knitting baby feet” :-)
