@exclusive authors,

This tissue box cover will find a place anywhere, for example in a child's/baby's room, on the coffee table, as well as in the bathroom or restroom.



The crochet pattern (including many photos and individual steps) explains every step in detail, so even beginners with basic knowledge can manage it well. The box is also super quick to crochet. That makes it easy to crochet a last-minute gift in no time.

The colors can be chosen freely. In my photo gallery, you'll see several variations.

A small but lovely door or window wreath that you can crochet from just a few cotton scraps. It is only 12 cm in diameter, so it will fit even in small corners. The little hearts and roses are very easy to crochet. You can also vary the colors to suit your taste, so you can reduce your leftover yarn stash right away.
This way to the pattern!

Crochet Pattern Möbius Collar 1-2-3-4




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Small, but this collar wonderfully jazzes up sweaters and shirts. 


It is crocheted from approx. 60 g of a merino yarn with 50 g – 160 m yardage and hook size 3 – 4 (here with a 3.5 mm crochet hook) and is quickly finished in an afternoon. Beginners should allow themselves a little more crochet time.
Other yarns with a suitable hook size can also be used. In my opinion, the pattern shows up better in finer yarns.

The Möbius technique in crochet is considerably easier than in knitting.

For the illustrated PDF pattern basic crochet skills are sufficient (chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch). Link tips for learning to crochet are included.

This cute family of gnomes is small but lovely. Not only do they look funny, but they also serve a lot of useful purposes:

• You can use them to wrap gifts (e.g., money, jewelry, candy, and much more), for example, during a Secret Santa exchange.
• They’re a huge hit as egg cozies.
• They make a sweet little gift for young and old alike.
• They keep your knitting and crochet supplies safe, such as buttons.
• They can also store jewelry inside them.
• They also make a great Advent calendar.
• They’re a huge hit at kids’ birthday parties and are sure to bring lots of joy.
• And of course, they’re also a great toy for kids.

The really great bonus:
Wherever these cute little gnomes are placed, they spread joy and good cheer! :-)
And they’re well received as gifts everywhere.

I’d describe the difficulty level as easy. It just takes a little patience and skill to shape the faces.

Beginners with basic crocheting skills can easily and quickly recreate these gnomes.

The individual steps are described in detail in the pattern. The PDF file is 21 pages long and includes 53 individual photos.
