Jacket and pants



**For the coming cooler days, the dolls need a jacket and pants so they can go outside even in these temperatures.

Materials:

• Yarn in yellow (yardage 133 m/50 g)
  
• Knitting needles no. 2
  
• Yarn needle
  
• Scissors
  

Other yarn and matching knitting needles can also be used. This may lead to slight variations.
The patterns are also suitable for beginners who have the necessary stitch knowledge (how to knit the stitch types is not explained).

When it’s as unpleasant outside as it is right now, you long for cozy handmade projects to make yourself comfortable. This project is just right for that. You can make the felted booties in all colors and all sizes for yourselves, your family, and your family. They are knitted, and the washing machine takes care of the felting. In the knitting and felting pattern, I explain and show you everything in detail.

Best wishes, and have a lovely rest of the week - yours, Ina

And if you still have some felting wool left over from the little boots, you can very quickly DIY a pair of wonderfully thick, soft, and warm felt insoles . They go in the children's rubber boots or clogs, or in your husband's fishing boots. You can also make them ahead of time for your own winter boots. They cushion your step like a thick pad and keep your feet warm from below. They don't absorb odors, which is also a plus :-)

Here you can see two small, standard 1-kg plastic buckets that have been fitted with colorful covers. The bright colors instantly lift your spirits—so it doesn’t even matter that it’s raining outside. You can crochet these pretty containers for all sorts of odds and ends in a totally relaxed way. And don’t worry about weaving in the ends—I’ll show you my tricks for skipping that step. These crochet patterns are also especially well-suited for beginners. And they’re a great way to use up your leftover yarn.

Materials:

• 60 or 70 g of colorful cotton yarn scraps of the same weight (125 m/50 g), e.g., “Linie 163” by ONline or “Catania” by Schachenmayr
• 1 or 2 plastic buckets (1 kg capacity, size: 13 cm x 13 cm)
• Size 3 crochet hook
