A loose and easy-to-crochet openwork pattern
+ 1 bobbel in a gorgeous color combination
+ two cleverly placed buttons
= a cuddly soft feel-good shawl, wearable in many situations, always offering something new to discover, and dreamily beautiful!

Thanks to two cleverly placed buttons, this shawl is a true quick-change artist. Since the buttons fit through the openwork pattern, there is no need to work in buttonholes—so the buttons can be fastened at any
desired spot—creating a huge variety of ways to wear it!

Thanks to the openwork pattern and the beautiful soft yarn, the shawl is wonderfully airy and soft. A true comfort piece!

Whatever comes to mind and wants to be knitted or crocheted, a gauge is always needed. Here is a useful "tool":

Gauge Conversion Table - Crochet and Knitting - Calculation Aid




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This Excel spreadsheet is a tool for converting your personal gauge into the required number of stitches for your knitting/crochet project.

Technical note:
This requires the Excel spreadsheet calculation program or another free spreadsheet program downloadable from the Internet, such as LibreOffice. Open the file with a double-click and click "Enable Editing".

And here's how it works:
Enter the result of your gauge as well as the details for the specific pattern, and the required number of stitches will appear automatically.

Have fun with all your projects.

How about the project “Fall/Winter is sure to come”?

You have a pattern, but would like to use a different yarn? Then this table will help:

Conversion table for yarn quantity, alternative yarn for knitting and crochet




(For purchase/download, please click the image)


This is an Excel spreadsheet for automatically converting a yarn quantity from the "original yarn" to an "alternative yarn" of your choice. 

Example:
The original yarn listed in your pattern has a yardage of 85 m per 50 g. According to the instructions there, 600 g of this "original yarn" are required for the size. However, your desired yarn has a different yardage (= alternative yarn). This selected yarn has, for example, a yardage of 70 m per 50 g skein. Simply enter these details in the Excel spreadsheet and the automatically calculated required quantity of your desired yarn will immediately appear, shown in skeins and grams.

Here too, the technical note:
To open an Excel spreadsheet, a 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"
