Knitting pattern Baby Traditional Vest size 86/92 with intarsia cable





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Not just for Oktoberfest season... and not just for girls...

For this special sleeveless baby vest without buttons, we need:

150 g merino wool in gray + 50 g merino wool in red, here Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, 50 g – 120 m yardage, gauge according to the label: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm, knitting needles 3.0 – 4.0; here: knitting needles 4.0, cable needle, crochet hook 3.5 for the bow, stitch holder or similar for setting stitches aside, yarn needle for weaving in ends, stitch marker is helpful.

The PDF pattern includes photos.

The red cable on the back is made using intarsia technique (an illustrated explanation is included) and requires a little time and skill - so I would not recommend it for knitting beginners.

The cable also looks lovely in solid gray, and then the whole piece knits up quite quickly. For knitting beginners, I therefore recommend knitting this vest completely without the cable and/or in one solid color.


Strawberry red! That’s the little strawberry child’s favorite color. You can crochet it using leftover cotton yarn with a yardage of 125m/50g (e.g., Catania by Schachenmayr).
It measures about 12 cm tall; the movable arms and legs are made with a bit of chenille wire, which forms the doll’s frame. The flower child holds a ripe strawberry plant with a flower in its arm, so it always has something to snack on. A beautiful, original table decoration for strawberry season that’s not hard to crochet at all!
You can find the pattern here!

The hearts on this little bag absolutely have to be red.

Take a look.



Red is the color of love, so the hearts are red, end of story.
You need two leftover bits of sock yarn and a 2.5 mm set of double-pointed needles for this bag. There is a knitting chart for the hearts. Not suitable for beginning knitters, but maybe just right for someone who wants to try two-color patterns.

Crochet pattern for decorative gift packaging

Santa Claus traditionally wears red and has a big load of laundry. That makes him lose interest in wrapping presents, so he fills his gift sack with money or vouchers.

Afterwards, the red laundry can also be used as fun decoration.

Details & pattern are available here

The pattern is illustrated, written without abbreviations, and well suited for beginners.

The hat is knitted from the bottom up in the round, and there is a knitting chart for the check pattern.

Red felted shoes in a moccasin style are a real hit! In the picture, you can actually see MINE. You can make them for yourself, a friend, your sister, your daughter, or a coworker. Everyone simply loves them—you just need to know the shoe size. In the pattern, you’ll find the information for all shoe sizes (18 - 47). 

Why are felted slippers the best thing for your feet? Because ...

• felted wool keeps you comfortably warm, regulates temperature, and is breathable
  
• felted wool does not absorb odors
• felted wool acts like a shock absorber when you step down
  
• felted shoes adapt to every foot shape, so nothing pinches
• You can also take them along when you’re invited somewhere or traveling
  
• felted shoes are simply cozy and comfortable on your feet—it feels like being at home.
  

I explain and show you in detail on 30 pages and step by step how they are made. That’s why the pattern is also suitable for beginner knitters and felting beginners . I hope you have lots of fun knitting and felting, and always warm feet. Best regards from Ina

This polo sweater made of lightweight cotton, which can be worn in summer and winter, is a cute eye-catcher for all little ones. It’s suitable for both girls and boys.

Since toddlers generally don’t like pulling anything tight over their heads, this version is a decorative alternative to a side button placket. 



What’s special about this polo sweater is that you have almost no seams. It only needs to be sewn together at the top of the shoulder and a tiny section under the arm. It is knitted from the bottom up.

The pattern for the polo sweater includes 10 pages incl. photos and is suitable for advanced beginners. 

Materials (for size 86-98):

• 2 x 50 g cotton (yardage 170 m/50 g) in red  
• 1 x 50 g cotton (same) in yellow 
• 2 buttons, approx. 1.5 cm diameter 
• One 40 cm circular knitting needle each, sizes 2.5 and 3 
• One set of double-pointed needles each in sizes 2.5 (or 2) and 3 
• One longer crochet hook no. 3 or 4 for picking up the stitches (a small one may also work if you are practiced at picking up stitches) 
• One wool sewing needle for weaving in ends and embroidering 
• Possibly an auxiliary needle (large safety pin for holding stitches) 
• A few stitch markers (I make small loops out of yarn for this)
