Who doesn’t think little kittens are cute? These ones are super low-maintenance—you just have to crochet them once! Then they don’t need any food, don’t make a mess, and just want to be cuddled every now and then.
You can crochet them using fluffy yarn (as shown on the right) or, if you’re a bit intimidated by that yarn, you can also use acrylic yarn (on the left). For this project, you only need single crochet stitches. Click here for the pattern!

Materials needed:
  • Crochet hooks sizes 2.5 & 3.5, sewing needle
  • Approx. 200 g white yarn—needle size 3–4
  • Yarn in various colors (this is a great way to use up leftover yarn :)

  • 6 small white beads, 5 mm, and stuffing

They’re my little darlings: the mini owls. Knitted in no time from leftover yarn, you can give them as gifts or keep them for yourself, and with a little ribbon attached, they also make great bag charms.
The little owls are designed so that you can practise the wonderful technique of short rows with them—and of course there’s also an illustrated step-by-step guide!

So grab your needles and get started! Here’s the link to the little owls: CLICK!

These adorable mini pigs are definitely a classic!
They’re only about 10 cm long and are always a welcome little gift, a good-luck token, and a New Year’s Eve lucky charm ♥

They’re crocheted with a 2.0 mm hook and a small amount of cotton yarn (e.g. Catania)

Crochet pattern: Lucky Pig/Party Pig

A beautiful mesh-pattern sweater is a must-have,

this one is very easy to knit because the sleeves are
set in straight and you don’t have to knit a sleeve cap.

The pattern is simply described for sizes 36–46

It is knitted from cotton with a slight sheen,

using size 3.5 needles.
These knitting skills would be helpful:

> Cast on
> Knit stitches
> Purl stitches
> Yarn overs
> Knit stitches together
> Knit stitches through the back loop
> Bind off

Here I’d like to introduce you to a few classics from my shop:

______________________
Beanie "Autumn Joy"
This beanie with its patterned stripes can easily be adjusted to fit any head size. It’s quick to crochet, and if you make more colorful stripes, you can also use up your leftover yarn. You can also use yarn with any hook size, as well as warmer or cooler yarn. This makes the hat suitable for every season.
--> To the crochet pattern: Crochet the "Autumn Joy" beanie - also suitable for beginners


___________________
Crochet a square hat
For this hat, you don’t need to know how to increase or decrease stitches, because the hat is simply crocheted as a square, which is why it’s called a square hat and is a popular project for beginners. It’s wonderfully colorful and great for crocheting with leftover yarn. It can also be adjusted to any head circumference. It is better suited for thinner yarn up to the hook size.
--> To the crochet pattern: Crochet a colorful square hat


______________________
Pillow "Smile"
This crocheted pillow is sure to bring good cheer to your living room, because it is simply wonderfully colorful. And wonderfully cuddly, too. You can crochet the colored stripes in your favorite colors. The pillow also looks good if it is made in just two colors or only in certain color shades, such as various shades of green. Just give it a try.

Beautiful casual and trendy shoulder bag in natural tones

This casual bag is the ideal companion for summer! Elegant thanks to
natural tones, classic and casual in shape, it goes with almost any
leisure outfit and is a real eye-catcher.

With this special stitch, it is possible to crochet in rounds without a jog
and thus create the ideal base for embroidery motifs.


In the photos, you can see the embroidered front side and the non-embroidered
back side. Of course, you can embroider both sides or leave the
bag “plain” — whatever you like.

Material: Schachenmayr Boston Sun (LL 100 m/100 g) in Natural (color 02) and Linen (color 05), 300 g each, 7.0 mm crochet hook

A beautiful set consisting of a hat, cowl, and wrist warmers in merino quality.
Worked in a simple yet sophisticated lace pattern.

The hat is designed for a head circumference of approx. 50–53 cm.
The cowl has a circumference of approx. 80 cm.
The length of the wrist warmers is about 16 cm.

A detailed description guides you through the entire knitting process.
For clarification, you’ll find 3 knitting charts in the pattern.
The gauge is included as always—for any adjustments!

And here’s where you’ll find the pattern and more details...

Our four-legged friends need a warm sweater during the transitional season, too...
Really quick to knit up - also suitable for beginners!

The pattern is also clearly illustrated with photos.

The size is designed for a fully grown French Bulldog.
Of course, it also fits dogs of about the same size, as the merino quality adapts.

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

A warm girls’ vest to throw on in the evening — and also very pretty over a dirndl.
The diamond pattern is sophisticated yet easy to make.

And if you’re not so fond of the “traditional costume” look, just change the buttons.
This pattern is designed for size 116–122.
However, the included cut and gauge make it possible to make any size!

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

Practical shopping net with the life motto "Live Love Laugh".
This cute shopping net reminds you to take a short break now and then and enjoy life. Thanks to the filet pattern, the bag is crocheted in no time and also makes a great gift.

For the material I used Catania by Schachenmayr, but of course you can also use any other cotton yarn—also great for using up leftovers. Crochet hooks 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm.
The bag is 35 cm wide and 45 cm tall (including handles).

Suitable for beginners.

The pattern is described in detail with a counting pattern, crochet chart, and lots of pictures.

This pretty red basket is my favorite. It’s exactly the right size for my current craft project—and it looks very decorative. 


But you can also crochet it in any other sizes you like. The small ones fit on a desk—filled with a few candies. Or in the hallway for odds and ends. Or in a large size for bigger craft projects. 


The crochet pattern is also very suitable for beginner crocheters, as I explain everything in detail over 26 pages and show it step by step . I chose a thicker yarn, but you can also use thinner yarns. I’ve already crocheted many baskets in this style; feel free to take a look at my pictures of them. You’ll find all the additional information there too.

A tried-and-true classic in doll clothes is this set!


The “Swing” dress series consists of 7 patterns. You can mix and match everything however you like: dresses, hats, bags. That way every Barbie, Steffi, Petra, Susi, Sabine ... gets her very own outfit in her favorite color.

Just imagine the doll moms’ eyes lighting up when they receive such a lovingly made collection for their doll as a gift.
There will be so much excitement. Of course, you can also embellish the pieces individually
with sewn-on little flowers, beads, or lace
– anything is possible! Lovingly handmade, indeed. The patterns are very suitable for crochet beginners, because I describe everything in great detail and with step-by-step photos. For the more experienced among you, I have included a crochet chart for each model. I used "Katia New Babette for Baby" (yardage 335 g/50
m) and a size 2 crochet hook. But you can also use other yarns with
the same yardage - just take a look in your scrap basket. I hope you enjoy the patterns!

Warm regards from Ina
