This sweet cotton baby pinafore dress fits from 6 to 18 months. It grows with your child for a while. And it can be worn all year round. 

The knitting pattern contains all the individual steps and lots of detailed photos. I would recommend it for knitters with a little experience. But beginners with basic knowledge can definitely give it a try too. The skirt has no seams and is knitted in one piece from bottom to top.

Here is the  knitting pattern for the baby pinafore skirt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The grow-with-me pinafore skirt for toddlers from 1.5 to 5 years

This pinafore skirt can remain a little girl's favorite piece for a long time, because it grows with her. Little by little, it turns into a sweet skirt without straps.

This cotton pinafore skirt can also be knitted by beginners with a little experience. Every step is explained in detail in the knitting pattern and accompanied by photos.

The skirt is knitted in one piece from bottom to top, so it has no seams.

Here is the knitting pattern for the toddler pinafore skirt.

A simply made girls' cardigan — but really jazzed up by the trim!
This vest has no button band at all — so it is worn open.

This pattern is designed for size 116-122.
However, the included cut and gauge make it easy to make any size!

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

Our little girls want to be dressed fashionably too...
... and we want that too :-)

Cheerful colors and a sophisticated pattern make this soul warmer a MUST HAVE!
Knitted in the right quality yarn, this shrug can be worn in any season and for any occasion.

The finished shrug in the product image shows children's size 98.
However, the pattern is designed for sizes 50 - 152!

An accurate cut as well as 2 detailed diagrams make the knitting process easier.
You will also find size charts for ages 0 - 12 years in the pattern.
Gauge is listed as always—for any possible adjustments.

And here is the pattern and more details...

Our little girls will be perfectly “shod” in these ballerinas...
The button sets the trend!

Also an ideal project for using up leftovers. Finished in 1–2 hours!

The pattern is designed for a foot length of about 9–10 cm.
However, the included gauge makes it easy to make any size!
You will also find a table for baby and children's shoe sizes (incl. cm measurements) in the pattern.

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

Looking for a pretty gift for a new little arrival?
Crocheted or rather knitted? This pattern also does not include a brief pattern for the knitted version.


Simple Baby Crochet Shoes - incl. knitted version



(For purchase/download, please click the image)

This is an illustrated crochet pattern for easy-to-crochet baby shoes.

Basic crochet skills are sufficient.

We need:

approx. 50 g cotton (blend) yarn with a yardage of approx. 90 m per 50 g, for (knitting) needle size 4.0–5.0; used here: crochet hook 4.5; thinner yarn can also be used - the specified measurements are what matter (check the gauge), leftover yarn for the bows or 2 pretty buttons, yarn needle, measuring tape, scissors

In addition to the detailed pattern, I have also created a short crochet pattern (sketch) as well as a short pattern for the knitted version.

Knitting pattern for preemie socks/baby/doll socks, also useful as a keychain






(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Sweet preemie socks for a total foot length from 4.5 cm can also be used as doll socks or keychains and/or as gift packaging for money.

The download includes 4 files:

• PDF preemie sock size chart up to size 20 for baby socks
• PDF pattern for the individual preemie socks, 4.5 cm to 7.5 cm total foot length
  (23 pages incl. pictures)
• Detailed PDF pattern with lots of pictures for the basic method (using newborn socks as an example – 17 pages)
• PDF handwritten sketches (using a newborn sock as an example – 2 pages)

General knitting skills (as well as knitting stitches together) are sufficient.


Required materials for 1 pair of socks up to newborn size: approx. 10 g 4-ply sock yarn, or leftover yarn. You will also need a set of double-pointed needles size 2.5, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends, and possibly a key ring

Not just for Oktoberfest season:


Knitting pattern for a baby traditional vest, size 86/92, with intarsia cable





(Please click the image to purchase/download)

For this special sleeveless baby vest without buttons, we need:

150 g gray merino wool + 50 g red merino wool, here Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, 50 g – 120 m yardage, gauge according to the ball band: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm, knitting needles 3.0–4.0; here: knitting needles 4.0, cable needle, crochet hook 3.5 for the bow, stitch holder or similar for putting stitches on hold, yarn needle for weaving in ends, a stitch marker is helpful.

The PDF pattern is illustrated.

The red cable on the back is worked in intarsia technique (illustrated explanation is included) and requires a little time and skill - so I would not recommend it for knitting beginners.

The cable also looks lovely in solid gray, and the whole piece is then knitted up quite quickly. For knitting beginners, I therefore recommend knitting this vest completely without the cable and/or in one color.

This will keep (baby and kids’) feet warm:

Sock-knitting course for socks made with 6-ply yarn - with charts for all sizes




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Socks made with 6-ply sock yarn are a little thicker – and therefore warmer – and, above all, faster to knit than socks made with 4-ply yarn.
They are usually preferred for house and bed socks, hut slippers, or even for hiking in mountain boots. Men love these socks in work boots.

Even very young children are fascinated by fingerplays. With these funny finger puppets, you can train your baby's attention. Soon they will follow them with their eyes, later reach for them, and when they are bigger, they will want to play with them themselves. Then little everyday situations are acted out and processed that way. In my shop you’ll find a whole selection of finger puppets:
