The pants are crocheted in rows at first and later in rounds, and include a drawstring casing. The jacket consists of a back piece, 2 front pieces, and sleeves. Everything is crocheted in rows and sewn together later.

Knitted Poncho/Stole, featherlight - very easy




(For purchase/download, please click the image)

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

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

The PDF pattern includes the preview image.

The poncho can also be knitted nicely as a warm outdoor poncho with thick yarn, 100 g - 100 m, using needle size 8.0. The required amount of yarn is then approx. 700 g. The stitch count is always based on your individual gauge.
To convert your individual gauge, I recommend: 
READ OFF instead of calculating - PDF table for knitting and crochet
as well as my blog post: Converting gauge - here's how..

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

Bangle bracelets made from PET bottles - modern, colorful, and casual!
Bangles or bracelets are the perfect addition to any outfit and always an eye-catcher.

Here I show you a special method for quickly and easily making stylish bangles with very little material.

All you need is an old PET bottle and some yarn - and in no time you'll have a truly unique piece of jewelry. Also great as a gift or little present.

You can combine the bangles however you like. Whether you wear just one bangle
or several bangles at the same time - they are always a real
eye-catcher.

Barbie’s fishtail is as blue as the sea! You can crochet it quickly and easily using a few scraps of yarn in shades of blue. The shell stitch is very simple, so even beginners can manage it — maybe even the little doll mummy? Mom or Grandma might be able to help a little with the top, since it’s a bit fiddly due to the small number of stitches.

Relaxed knitting - great for beginners too! For the triangular shawl AENNY, you can simply take a yarn of your choice and get started right away! You can also adjust the size entirely to your own needs. The shawl is wonderfully suited to gradient yarns, but it also looks great in a solid color, and that’s when the knitted rose brooch really stands out beautifully! And maybe you’ll think of a few other accessories to make the shawl truly unique: e.g. with tassels, pompoms, or beads... The shawl is very easy and, thanks to its loose construction, quick to knit; a simple crocheted border gives it a neat finish. There is a small photo tutorial for the rose brooch.

This bag absolutely has to be blue, because the fish are swimming in the water.

Pattern for Goldfish Bag.



Knitted from one skein each of cotton (125 m per 50 g) in the two contrasting colors, this bag is a quick project with a high fun factor. The handles are then crocheted.

This scarf made from alpaca tweed yarn looks fantastic in blue—though I can also imagine it in many other colors.

You can find the pattern here.



The scarf is knitted in a simple lace pattern (knitting chart included) and has a few seed stitch ridges in between. In thick yarn, it works up quickly.

The sky is blue, so the sky in this winter landscape must be blue too.

Click here for the pattern for the winter landscape hat.



For this hat, you’ll need blue and white yarn (150 m per 50 g), one skein of each. Knit with 3.5 mm needles. The snowy landscape is depicted in a knitting chart.
The pattern is available in three different sizes.
