Summery, lightweight, and very elegant, this stole is knitted from sock yarn.

You can find the pattern here.



The stole is knitted lengthwise and has an elegant lace pattern along the lower edge. The big advantage of this pattern is that you can keep knitting until the yarn runs out. That way, you can avoid those annoying leftovers.
A knitting chart helps with the lace pattern; toward the top, it then continues in very wide ribs.

Crochet pattern Summer Top "Spotlights" - 2 wearing options -

--> Get the pattern for all sizes here



This airy summer top is not only perfect for the beach, but also for your next evening outfit when you combine it with a matching camisole and light-colored 3/4-length pants. If you lengthen the main pattern by several pattern repeats, you can easily turn it into a beautiful beach dress.

Thanks to two snap fasteners, you can wear this top in two different ways. One option is the classic straps, which can be detached at the back and then tied together at the neck, turning it into a halter top.

A total of four different patterns are used here. The patterns are fully charted and also written out again, so you can decide whether you want to work from the crochet chart or the text.

Difficulty level: Easy

Required skills:


chain stitches, single crochet, half and whole double crochets, slip stitch, picot

Yarn:


Approx. 200 - 300 g of any yarn cake – 4-ply – 1000 -1500 m yardage 2 snap fasteners Recommended hook size 3.5

If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to help

summery + elegant

What immediately comes to mind is the shoulder warmer Füürnobel.



And if you use the original yarn, it becomes even more luxurious.

But it’s also no problem to knit this feather-light little piece with a different yarn.

The pattern requires some knitting experience, and I can’t recommend it for beginners.

>>> You can find more info and the pattern here

And the great thing is, in August there’s even a 20% discount

I hope you enjoy knitting it, and I’ll be happy to help if you have any questions.

This airy, lightweight summer poncho shows summer elegance. It sways with every step and makes you feel comfortable wearing it. The figure-flattering cut simply makes little problem areas disappear. It weighs just under 200 g, so it fits into any handbag. When it gets cooler in the evening, you simply take it out and put it on—and you have an elegant, lightly warming “jacket” that is also very fashionable.

It is suitable for all clothing sizes; you can determine the neckline size and back length yourself at the end.

The knitting pattern and the stitch pattern are also suitable for knitting beginners . We only knit knit stitches, purl stitches, and yarn overs. So it can be knitted very comfortably from just 4 pattern rows that repeat over and over.

Material:

  • 200 g “Drachenwolle” (600 m/100 g) for the blue model in my pattern OR
  • 200 g "New Babette for Baby (335 m/50 g) for the white model OR
  • other yarn with the same yardage
  • circular knitting needle with metal tips, size 3.5, 80 cm long (or longer)
I wish you lots of joy with the pattern and wearing your summer poncho. Best wishes from Ina

Light, summery, and elegant is this cuddly-soft shoulder warmer, too. You can wear it folded double as a loop scarf or, if you have the right slim figure, as a bolero or shoulder warmer . It weighs only 50 g and fits in any handbag. On cool summer evenings, you don’t have to carry a thick jacket with you; you can simply take your warming little piece out of your handbag when needed. It is knitted from very fine, wonderfully soft, high-quality cashmere yarn, so it keeps you warm even though it looks so delicate and fine. You will love it—and others will envy you for it.

The knitting pattern is very well suited for beginner knitters .

Material:
  • 50 g "Superior" by Filatura di Crosa
  • circular knitting needle size 3 (60 or 80 cm long)
  • crochet hook size 3
I wish you lots of joy knitting and wearing it—yours, Ina

Light, airy wraps and scarves are ideal for summer. They drape elegantly, don’t feel heavy on your shoulders, but swing playfully back and forth. This knitted model here enchants with its beautiful wave-shaped pattern and its long color gradient. Worn open, the wrap reveals its full beauty.

The lace pattern gives the viewer refined glimpses of bare skin.



The lace wrap can also be knotted nicely. That way, you can wear it with everyday outfits for a more modern style, too. So it’s a wrap you can wear not only in summer, but all year round. It is wonderfully soft and light, and an ideal companion for the whole year.



You will receive a 13-page step-by-step pattern with detailed explanations and lots of pictures. This lace wrap is also suitable
for knitters who have not yet dared to try lace
before.

Materials:
  • 2 x 50 g skeins of gradient yarn ("Daphne Lace" or "Lace Top by Lanas Stop" or "Schoppel Zauberball Lace 100" or another yarn, also
    solid-colored, with a yardage of approx. 50 g/400 meters
  • 1 size 4 circular knitting needle
  • 1 size 4 crochet hook and
  • pins for blocking the damp wrap.
I hope you have lots of fun with this project and enjoy wearing your new elegant wrap.
Best regards - Ina

The shawl consists of simple patterns, most of which are illustrated in charts to make them easier to follow. It’s suitable for beginners.
Increases are made using Kfb and yarn overs. It can be worn either as a shoulder shawl or as a triangular shawl, as it measures 2.50 m x 0.47 m.
