Batwing Sweater “Color Stripes”

Wide, colorful and cozy, this batwing sweater makes its entrance and perks up any boring outfit in
no time!
With its wide batwing sleeves, it’s the perfect companion all year round—whether at home,
at the movies or on a walk—it simply always fits!
This project is absolutely suitable for beginners, since the sleeves do not have to be worked separately.
This pattern is designed for sizes S/M and L/XL.
However, the included template and the gauge make it possible to work any size!

Wrist Warmers “Color Stripes”



Fall can arrive in such cheerfully bright colors...
Fun colors and a great pattern define these wrist warmers.
The pattern of the cuffs will make you want more.
A detailed description guides you step by step through the knitting process.
A chart in knitting chart format also helps you through the pattern repeat.
Beginners will enjoy this pattern too.
The length of the finished cuffs is about 26.5 cm.
Of course, as always, the gauge is included.
Also a good project for using up leftover yarn!

Fall can come...
With this shrug, you'll be ready for any weather!
The wonderful textured pattern - 2 different crochet patterns alternate - invites you to cuddle up.

The cut of the soul warmer works entirely without decreases or increases...
... so it is also absolutely recommended for beginners!

A detailed description guides you through the crochet process.
For clarity, 2 charts in crochet chart form can be found in the pattern.
In addition, 3 schematics help you through the crochet process - step by step.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M/L/XL.
However, the pattern explains how the shrug can be very easily adjusted to any size.
The included cut and the gauge help with that!

And here is the pattern and more details...

 

The 1980s were really something special fashion-wise...
... but what has stayed and is still (or once again) on trend are puff sleeves!
Beautifully romantic sweaters like this can be worn in any season!

The yarn used—a blend of silk, mohair, camel, and merino—supports the lightness of this sweater! Silkhair or something similar also works perfectly!
The boat neck adds to the effect.

This project is absolutely suitable for beginners, as the pattern is kept very simple.

All patterns used are described in detail—stitch by stitch, and a chart in knitting chart form also supports the knitting process.

Crochet pattern Poncho with Möbius Shawl Collar (Loop) - easy





(To purchase/download, please click the image)


With this crochet technique, you can decide while crocheting how
large the poncho should be – you simply stop crocheting whenever it
suits you.

Poncho and Möbius scarf are made with thick gradient yarn, 100 g – 100 m,
and a size 8.0 crochet hook. Yarn needed for both pieces: approx. 700 g.

The PDF pattern includes the poncho and Möbius scarf and has pictures, but is not a crochet course in itself.

These crochet skills are needed:
chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, crocheting in rows, crocheting in rounds.

NEW * NEW * NEW *

This great sweater is doable in any size, and as the name suggests, you decide the collar width, length, and
bust width yourself.
Whether with a high collar and 2 or 3 buttons, or for smaller children perhaps
just one button, everything can be adjusted individually.


The pattern is completely timeless and can be worn by both genders. A great garment for every season.

As a little bonus, there is a pattern for the matching hat included, which also explains exactly how to make it for the respective head circumference.

Materials needed:

• You can work with any yarn you like; for women’s size 36/38, a 4-ply,
  plied gradient yarn with a total yardage of approx. 1900 m
  was used here (the yarn consumption is, of course,
  dependent on size)
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn used, here size 4
• 1 - 3 buttons (diameter depending on yarn thickness)
• for the hat, with the specified yarn thickness, additionally (depending on size) between 250 m and 300 m of yarn

With this triangular shawl, you can really let your mind wander. There are no hidden difficulties—it’s very relaxing to knit, and all you need is 1 skein of sock yarn. A wonderful knitting project for the weekend.

You can find the pattern here.

The days are slowly getting shorter, and it’s often already cool in the mornings and evenings. Time to get ready for fall. A pair of wrist warmers is stylish and very useful in the transitional season.

Here’s the pattern.



If you have some sock yarn left over from a pair of socks—about 90 m is needed for these wrist warmers. They have a fun lace pattern (explained step by step with pictures) and are easy to knit.

We’ll be needing scarves again soon. This knitted lace scarf, made with thick yarn, is especially cozy. It’s a quick knitting project since it’s worked with thick needles.
The knitting chart helps with following along, but everything is also written out row by row.

You can find the pattern here.

A cute little project for the weekend:

This cute wrap bracelet is crocheted in no time. It’s a real eye-catcher on any wrist. Super comfortable to wear - lightweight and trendy. It also makes a lovely gift or small present.

The bracelet also looks super cute worn as an anklet. And if you simply make it longer, it turns into a chic, delicate belt.

The bracelet is crocheted in one piece, so there’s no tedious weaving in
of ends (only the starting and ending threads). So grab some yarn and a crochet hook and get started.

Brand new from me is this beautiful crochet cardigan for little baby girls and slightly older girls (0 to 5 years)



Click here and you’ll go straight to the pattern with lots more info and pictures!

The cardigan is crocheted using the raglan from the top down method and, thanks to the round neckline, has a particularly great fit! Once you’ve crocheted the slightly tricky beginning (but everything is explained in great detail!), you can really relax while crocheting, and the cardigan grows row by row! It’s also especially relaxing that you won’t have to close any seams later!;-)

The cardigan is described in detail in 5 sizes:

• Size (62/68) approx. 3 to 6 months
• Size (74/80) approx. 9 to 12 months
• Size (86/92) approx. 18 to 24 months
• Size (92/98) approx. 2-3 years
• Size (104/110) approx. 4-5 years

Here you’ll get a very detailed step-by-step pattern with lots of high-quality photos and illustrations, which is also suitable for beginners with a little experience!

You can crochet this cat-shaped pot holder as a side project, since it’s made almost entirely of circles. You don’t have to do much counting or pay close attention to the pattern. The cat’s body is crocheted twice so you can slip your hand inside. Catania yarn by Schachenmayr was used.
