What could be better than a wedding celebration?
Here’s a very special gift for the bride and groom. Sure, they’d love to receive money! But you can present it in a loving and original way.
Each figure in the crocheted wedding couple is worked around an empty Kinder Surprise egg capsule and measures about 10–12 cm. You can then place your monetary gift inside the capsule.
The bride and groom aren’t hard to crochet; all you need are some leftover yarn, 2 Kinder Surprise egg capsules, and some stuffing.
If you make your crocheted couple resemble the real couple (by choosing the right hair color and hairstyle), your gift is sure to get the attention it deserves.

And after the wedding, a baptism often follows soon!
Noah's Ark is a widely used motif for baptisms. Crochet this wonderful door wreath and you'll have a great gift that's sure to get a place of honor in the nursery! The very detailed pattern shows you exactly how to crochet the rainbow, the ark, and the many animals. It was crocheted with Catania by Schachenmayr.
Here’s the pattern!

With this elegant poncho shawl, you’ll turn heads at any celebration. It looks good for any occasion and is also a true quick-change artist. Depending on the occasion, your mood, and what you feel like wearing, it can be worn as a poncho or as a triangular shawl.

Of course, the poncho shawl can also be knitted in a different color combination or with a different yarn. I used a thin, lightweight cotton yarn with 170 m/50 g yardage.


I would describe the difficulty level as intermediate. However, confident beginners with basic knowledge can also give it a try. Once the pattern has been knitted through completely once, it practically works by itself after that because it is logically structured.

The pattern includes two detailed stitch charts that are written in an easy-to-understand way. In addition, all steps are described precisely in another file (PDF), with extra detail photos.

Summer and fall are the seasons for beer festivals. The biggest one, of course, is Oktoberfest in Munich!
Use a few scraps of leftover yarn to create these beautiful crochet appliqués!  Glue them, for example, onto an invitation card for a beer festival. They also look great on a bag, a jacket, or on the hatband of a traditional hat. And you’ll surely come up with even more ideas for where to use them! The pattern is also suitable for beginners who want to start a small project that doesn’t take much time.
Download the pattern here!

,Off to the Wiesn!
Barbie has dressed up for Oktoberfest too: She’s wearing a red-and-black dirndl with a green lace-pattern apron, a black choker, a red traditional hat and a matching handbag. A cute gingerbread heart completes the look.
The dirndl isn’t difficult to crochet. It’s easy to put on because it has a snap fastener or hook-and-loop closure at the back. The blouse is crocheted on, so it doesn’t need to be put on separately.
The dirndl and accessories were crocheted from Catania fine with a 2 mm crochet hook.
You can find the pattern here!

You can never go wrong with this shoulder warmer!
The fringe adds that special something!

The pattern gives this stole a convincing elegance and looks wonderful over a black evening dress - nevertheless, with the right combination, it can just as well be worn casually.

A detailed description (row by row) guides you through the crochet process.
For clarity, a chart in crochet chart form can also be found in the pattern.
A pictured step-by-step explanation for creating the fringe is also included in the pattern.

The measurements are approximately: length: approx. 145 cm (without fringe), width: approx. 55 cm
Gauge is included as always - for any adjustments!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

Who says knitted pieces can't be elegant?
Not at all! This long top is the perfect companion for any candlelight dinner or night at the opera!
The pattern is kept simple, but the special cut and the slit at the back create the effect!

This pattern is designed for sizes 36/38 and 40/42.
However, the included cut and gauge make it possible to make any size!

A detailed chart also guides you through joining the back and front pieces.

And here is the pattern and more details...

Simple stockinette stitch frames the cable look and makes it stand out even more.

This pattern is designed for sizes 48/50 and 54/56.
However, the included cut and gauge make it possible to make any size!

A detailed description as well as a chart guide you step by step through the pattern.
