This beautiful knitted stole features a wave-like lace pattern.

Click here for the pattern.



It is knitted in a fairly fine yarn (160 m per 50 g), using 3.5 mm needles. Of course, you can also use other yarns.
The pattern includes both a knitting chart and written row-by-row instructions. It can easily be made larger or smaller for a narrower scarf or an even wider stole. Some people have also used it to knit an infinity scarf.
This pattern is not suitable for knitting beginners, but if you already have a bit of experience with lace patterns, you will enjoy it.

A scarf in double knitting technique is fun and looks good.

This way to the pattern.



The pattern was inspired by a beautiful turned wooden door I once passed by. I don’t know if they exist everywhere, but where we live, old farmhouses often have doors with all kinds of twisted motifs on them.
The technique isn’t entirely easy; a bit of experience doesn’t hurt. It is knitted with yarn (84 m/50 g) and 5 mm needles. You’ll need 5 skeins of each color. There is a knitting chart for the pattern.

Stripes are totally on trend. With a top under this comfortable-to-wear cotton short-sleeved cardigan, you’ll be wonderfully dressed both for work and for your free time. And when it gets a bit cooler, you can also wear a thin turtleneck underneath.

The PDF pattern is illustrated across 23 pages.

These knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knitting stitches together, yarn over, emphasized decreases and increases from the horizontal strand (explained with pictures).

100% mercerized cotton, label information: 50 g – 125 m yardage, needle size 2.5 – 3.5,

Used here: knitting needle size 3.5, 3 stitch holders and 1 cable for holding stitches, stitch markers and row counter (not absolutely necessary), pins for blocking, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.

One side of this scarf features very narrow stripes. The other side has none.

A knitted scarf in an elongated V-shape, with the V also appearing as a color contrast on the scarf’s surface.
The scarf is knitted from sock yarn using 3mm needles. You’ll need two different colors: 1 skein of color A and a little more than half a skein of color B. The entire scarf is simply knitted in garter stitch, but it’s not strictly a beginner’s project because there are a few subtleties involved that require careful attention.

With this crochet pattern, you can crochet yourself a wonderful decorative pillow. You can make the stripes in rainbow colors, as shown in the picture, or of course in your favorite colors. The pillow can also be used as a cuddle pillow, making it multifunctional.

Crochet pattern for a warm poncho with Möbius cowl (loop) - easy





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Quick and easy to crochet...

With this crochet technique, you can decide while crocheting how large the poncho should be – you simply stop crocheting whenever you like.

The poncho and Möbius scarf are made with bulky yarn, 100 g – 100 m  (e.g., Bonbon by Rico), and a 8.0 mm crochet hook. Yarn required for both pieces: approx. 700 g.

The PDF pattern includes the poncho and Möbius scarf and has pictures, but it is not a crochet course in itself.

These crochet skills are needed:
chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, crocheting in rows, crocheting in rounds.

By the way: with a Möbius scarf, the pattern you create is mirrored,
i.e., one horizontal half looks like a right
outside, while the second half looks like a wrong-side inside of the pattern.
This creates sophisticated effects, depending on how the scarf is wrapped
and how the pattern falls.
