Babies need espadrilles or sandals in the summer,

here are very easy patterns for knitting them,

they are written so simply, they are really fun to make!



Pattern  Espadrilles   for babies



Pattern Sandals       for babies

The weekend is here—time to get cozy on the sofa and put your feet up. That’s perfect when you have a lovely knitting project.

An elegant stole, for example.



This shawl is knitted lengthwise from lightweight sock yarn. That means you’ll have a lot of stitches on the needles, but you can also adjust the width of the stole to suit your needs. Once you’ve reached the desired width, you simply stop.
You start at the lower edge with a pretty lace pattern that personally reminds me a little of pansies. This lace pattern gets smaller toward the top until it finally disappears completely into the wide ribs. There is a knitting chart, but everything is also provided in written form, written out row by row.
Yarn usage depends on the desired width, but you should plan for at least 550–600 m. It is knitted on a 4 mm circular needle.

A lovely knitting project that you can start over the weekend and make great progress on is this triangular shawl.

You can find the pattern here.



You’ll need 1 skein of sock yarn and a 4mm circular needle. The shawl is simple and very relaxing to knit—mostly knit and purl stitches, with a few simple lace rows in between.

Something quick and a chic basic is the FORTUNA



Fortuna is a basic dragon tail shawl that is loosened up a bit with an openwork pattern.

This pattern is written especially for beginners. You will find fully written-out instructions, as well as a complete electronic crochet chart in the pattern.

What do you need to know?

• chain stitches
• double crochet

All of this is included:

• suitable for beginners
• complete written pattern
• electronically created crochet chart
• one size (from 500 m at 420 m/100 g, recommended)

You’ll need these materials at home:

• 1 skein, 600 m, 4-ply gradient yarn from the Garnzauber brand in the color “Limited Edition No. 4”
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• scissors
• yarn needle

On the weekend, when you have time and leisure, you can also dare to try knitting patterns that require a little concentration. How about a potholder in double knitting technique?

You can find the pattern here.



What’s special about this technique is that the front and back are practically mirror images. This potholder has little hearts knitted in, which are shown in a knitting chart.
You’ll need cotton in two different colors for it, 1 skein of each color. The yarn weight isn’t that important, but for double knitting I recommend going down a little in needle size, so a bit thinner than the manufacturer recommends.

Choker and wrap bracelet in a wave pattern

Choker - The trendy accessory from the '90s is back. This fashion trend spices up any outfit and is a real eye-catcher.

Chokers are close-fitting necklaces or collars and can be combined with all kinds of outfits.

Wrap bracelets are also totally on trend and always a lovely, hip accessory. You can also make several bracelets in different colors and combine them with each other.

The pieces of jewelry are quick to crochet and super comfortable to wear. Also a great gift or little present to bring along. Lengthened or shortened accordingly, the bracelet can also become a cute anklet.
