The owl is also easy for crochet beginners with basic knowledge to make.



Here’s the crochet pattern for the guardian owl.

And now I hope you have lots of fun browsing and crocheting ;)

1. Little Lamb 
A favorite to crochet time and time again: the fluffy little lamb made from plush yarn (of course, any other yarn will work too) and single crochet stitches. If you use thick yarn, you can even add a music box.
2. Kitten . 
This black-and-white kitten is also crocheted from plush yarn using single crochet stitches. Here, too, you can add a music box if you’d like.
3. Shells  
Crocheted seashells make a pretty decoration for the bathroom, balcony, or sunroom—and you can easily make them using any leftover yarn. Use pastel colors or yarn with a subtle color gradient to make them look especially realistic.
4. Mermaid Outfit for Barbie 
Another nautical theme, but of a completely different kind! Little girls are fascinated by mermaids. And of course, Barbie has to become one too! The pattern is very easy, making this project perfect even for crochet beginners.
5. Moose Keychain
The little moose with the red nose isn’t just for the holiday season. It can be crocheted very quickly and easily from a little leftover yarn and can serve as a keychain, bag charm, gift tag, or Christmas tree ornament.

Hello everyone

My number 1 

      Knit socks without an annoying heel 38/39

For this you need 100 g of sock yarn and a set of double-pointed needles for yarn size 3.0. And of course my pattern.

My number 2

        Warm, cozy baby hat with gloves

For this you need 100 g of yarn for needle size 5.0, or you can take thin yarn for needle size 3.0 and combine it, as I did here.
Knitting for babies is such a lovely thing. 

And here is number 3

        Quick hat for preemies

It knits up quickly and nestles warmly and lightly around the little head.
You need about 40 g of yarn, size 3.0. It has to be sock yarn, because it washes well, which is very important.

Now my number 4
           Diaper pants for 28-30 cm dolls


The diaper pants are sewn and a must-have for the dolls. The doll mommy will be absolutely delighted.

Hi there, here are my TOP 5

Place 1 - still - must-have:

Crocheted Hat for Everyone - very easy




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

A wonderfully easy-to-crochet hat
for the model shown, with a head circumference of 55 cm to 60 cm, made from approx. 250 g merino yarn, 50 g – 45 m (crochet hook 6.0)
for various styles, so ONE hat model wearable in all the shown variations, for both men and women. Also easy to make for children or as a simple hat for babies (though thinner yarn is recommended).

• no gauge swatch (it doesn't depend on the exact cm),
• no increases or decreases,
• for all yarns of your choice
• possible in all sizes.

The PDF pattern is illustrated.

You need these crochet skills: chain stitches, single crochet.
Everything else, including slip stitches, is explained. Video link tips for learning to crochet for beginners are included in the PDF.

By the way: A crochet pattern for a matching infinity scarf for this hat is also available here in my shop:

************************************************

Place 2:

Conversion table for yarn amounts, alternative yarn for knitting and crocheting




(To purchase/download, please click the image)


This is an Excel spreadsheet for automatically converting a yarn amount from the "original yarn" to a desired "alternative yarn". 

Example:
The original yarn specified in a pattern has a yardage of 85 m per 50 g. According to the instructions there, you need 600 g of this "original yarn" for your size. But you would like to make your piece in a different yarn (= alternative yarn). The yarn you have chosen has a yardage of 70 m per 50 g skein. You enter this information in the Excel spreadsheet and immediately receive the required amount of your chosen yarn in skeins and grams.

A gauge swatch is always advisable. To determine the number of stitches needed for your individual knitted piece, the simple version of my Excel conversion table for your gauge is included as a bonus.

Technical note:
To open an Excel spreadsheet, a so-called spreadsheet program such as Excel, LibreOffice (available free of charge http://de.libreoffice.org/) or OpenOffice (available free of charge http://www.openoffice.org/de/) must be installed. Open the file with a double-click, and if the message "Protected View" appears, please click "Enable Editing"

Place 4:

Knitted shirt/sweater 'ALGARVE'




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Two in one pattern:sleeveless long shirt, ideal with leggings, and with sleeves, a cotton sweater knitted in a simple lace pattern . Because of the pattern, it comes out as ONE SIZE for women's sizes 38 - 44. Smaller sizes can wear it as "oversized". Weight gain and loss are therefore no problem.

Material:
300 g (without sleeves) / 550 g (sweater) Austermann Algarve (100% cotton; 50 g – 142 m) for needle size 2.5 – 3.5; here: knitting needle 3.5, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle, row counter helpful but not absolutely required. Gauge according to ball band: 27 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Place 5: this timeless

Knitted poncho/stole, featherlight - very easy




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

One size - pattern and cut are absolutely suitable for beginners.

This is a short pattern for a featherlight and very easy-to-knit poncho in one size, made from only 100 g KidSilk (Austermann). For beginners, I recommend (lace) yarns without mohair, since mohair is almost impossible to unravel.

The PDF pattern contains the preview image.

By the way: The poncho can also be knitted nicely as a warm outdoor poncho with thick wool, 100 g - 100 m, using needle size 8.0. The required yarn amount is then approx. 700 g. The number of stitches always depends on your individual gauge. To convert your individual gauge, I recommend my blog post: Converting gauge - here's how..

Required knitting skills:
cast-on, edge stitch (your favorite edge stitch), knit and purl stitches, bind off.

Wishing you lots of fun with all your projects.

These are my top picks. The material and workmanship are listed in the product listing. Just take a look. Thanks
