The “Strawberries” table runner is also crocheted in a beautiful pattern.

You’ll receive a detailed 10-page pattern with lots of pictures and graphics. It includes both two pattern templates (counting patterns) and a row-by-row crochet chart.

Once finished, the table runner measures approx. 100 cm x 38 cm.

Required skills: 
The pattern does not include a basic course. You should have knowledge of crocheting single crochet stitches, double crochet, as well as chain and slip stitches.

You will also need:
  • It is crocheted with cotton yarn, yardage 125 m / 50 g; in this case I used Catania by Schachenmayer in the colors burgundy no. 192 (2 x 50 g), natural no. 105 (2 x 50 g), and dahlia no. 409 (1 x 50 g).
  • Crochet hook size 3.5
  • Darning needle
here you’ll find the pattern

It doesn’t always have to be the ocean.
Karl-Otto is a laid-back fish who’s just enjoying life. Get the pattern and give this striped fish a cozy home.

85 g of wool or 35 g of crochet yarn, stuffing, a needle—and you’re all set.
Single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. Karl-Otto is quick and easy to crochet and looks great anywhere.

Have fun crocheting :-)

Charly the clownfish loves living in the big, wide ocean together with anemones. But since it’s slowly getting too boring for him there, he’s looking for a new home.

Charly the clownfish will be 25 cm long when made using the specified materials. Personally, I recommend cotton yarn for making all of my stuffed animals.

The pattern includes photos that make it easier to follow. However, basic crochet skills (single crochet, spiral rounds, etc.) are required.

Here is the pattern:

These socks have a gentle wave pattern and are knitted in two colors.

You can find the pattern here.



Not exactly easy, but very satisfying once they’re finished. They are knitted on 2.5 mm needles, and you’ll need 4-ply sock yarn in two contrasting colors.

If you’re looking for dots, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for with this scarf.

Click here for the pattern.



Knitted using the double-face technique, this scarf is a rewarding project for experienced knitters and a real eye-catcher. You’ll need yarn (150 m per 50 g), 300 meters of each color, and 3 mm knitting needles.
What makes this technique special is that the two sides are exact opposites of each other. What’s white on the front is brown on the back—or whatever colors you’d like to use.
The pattern is shown in several knitting charts.

Even if you can't imagine wearing a hat in the current temperatures, the time for it will come around again soon enough. And checks are totally on trend this year.

You can find the pattern here.



The hat is knitted from a wool-blend yarn with 114m per 50g. You'll need 1 skein of each color (for the largest size, 2 skeins of color A, here in red). The pattern is shown in a knitting chart and is available in 4 different sizes.

Crochet Pattern Belt

This is exactly the kind of belt you can wear with a dress, over a tunic or blouse, or just as well with jeans and a T-shirt.
This lets you change your look in no time.
With its unusual design, this belt is like a piece of jewelry; it is made
with a mix of materials and patterns. This gives the piece a
used look (irregularities are intentional).

Click here for the pattern

The 5 cm wide jacquard pattern is Tunisian crocheted.
You don’t need a special crochet hook, and the stitches are explained in detail in the pattern
.
The belt can be made stretchy or firm (for pants); you can simply take the
buckle from an old belt.

The bodies of the two striped tomcats Eddy and Freddy have lots of stripes.

 

With their size of over 30 cm and the heavy filling material in their bellies, they are heavy enough to support a row of books or a door. The pattern explains step by step and with lots of pictures how you can make a tomcat like this yourself. It is therefore also suitable for ambitious beginners who already have basic crochet skills.

--------------------------

The “Ocean” table runner is reminiscent of the surf and the sea with its wave pattern.

 

This crochet pattern explains with lots of pictures, a digitally created crochet chart, and detailed row-by-row descriptions how you can crochet the “Ocean” table runner yourself. Once finished, it measures approx. 68 x 33 cm (blocked), but you can make it larger or smaller as you like.

Color changes and a lace pattern are what make the knitted shawl Amrun stand out. With this stylish shawl, you have the perfect accessory for a casual or sporty jeans outfit.




Amrun is started with just a few stitches at the tip and knitted up to the neck edge.

You can knit this shawl with many different yarns, such as sock yarn, cotton, or other cozy yarns, and you’ll always get a great result!

The yarn used should be no heavier than DK (8-ply yarn).





Materials needed:

  • Yarn, approx. 600 meters, up to max. DK weight
  • Circular knitting needle in the appropriate size and length (I recommend an interchangeable cable system like KnitPro)
  • Stitch markers
  • Sewing needle
Skills needed:
  • knit stitches
  • purl stitches
  • yarn overs
  • knitting stitches together
  • changing yarn (when working with multiple colors)

Difficulty level: intermediate.

The zigzag stripes give the skirt that special something. With two contrasting colors, you’ll crochet this wonderful 3-piece summer set for small dolls. The summer set includes 3 patterns:

- a full, swingy skirt (length as desired)
- a top (halter corsage or bustier) and
- a bolero

Everything can be crocheted quickly by crochet beginners, and there are also crochet charts for the 3 models for pros. I explain and show everything in great detail.

I hope you enjoy it.

Crochet stripes upon stripes upon stripes—and just like that, you’ll have a great and practical craft bucket. It offers space in the outer pockets for your craft tools, and inside you can store your current project.

The crochet pattern is also very suitable for crochet beginners. We crochet chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, and treble crochet stitches. I show and describe everything to you very clearly and step by step over 18 pages. Start gathering your favorite colors, and then let’s
begin! It’s a lot of fun and super easy to crochet.


Material for a 5-liter bucket:
  • a total of 220 g “Lisa Premium” by Gründl or “Bravo Original” by Schachenmayr (yardage 133 m/50 g), or colorful leftover yarn in this weight
  • Round 5-liter plastic bucket (height up to 20 cm; commercial kitchens and restaurants give them away for free)
  • Size 3.5 crochet hook
  • Needle, scissors, measuring tape
Once you’ve crocheted one bucket and know how it works, you can also use other bucket sizes.Just take a look at my example photos.

Warm regards from Ina
